*Copy provided by author in exchange for an honest review*The Fire is the sequel to The Journey and follows the time travelling adventures of Kevin Johnson who is the son of Michelle who we know from The Journey.This is by far the best book by John A. Heldt and it's great to see his stories and writing improve with each new release. Again, the attention to detail and research that has been invested in this book is phenomenal. Mr Heldt's terrific imagination has also thought of yet another way to travel through time and his story telling makes you feel like you're a part of it. I was laughing at one minute during this story, scared, nervous and crying at others, emotionally speaking this book is fantastic.The characters are extremely likeable especially Kevin. He comes across as a very real person to me, someone who you would know in real life and that makes him easy to relate to. Kevin has finished college and is off to enjoy a summer vacation with his family at his deceased grandfathers home and to help prepare it for sale. By chance he finds his great-great grandfathers hidden treasure and written accounts of his time travel experiences. Kevin's curiosity is piqued and begins his own adventures back to 1910. This is where he meets Sarah, Sadie, Andy and Maude whom he begins a new life with. The characters are also very likeable and when reading this you realise how much has changed over this time and how people have changed as well. I really like this book for this reason and it keep you thinking as well as being very entertaining.I found this book very hard to put down and cannot recommend this one enough. It's fantastic and is a definite must read. I look forward to reading more of Mr Heldt's work in the future.
