This is a wonderful book! Fabulous and informative descriptions of life in Scotland in the 1600's; and better yet, three-dimensional portraits of some of the most flawed but endearing characters I've ever met in a book. The characters are so true to their hearts you forgive their bumbling errors, and rejoice in their triumphs. When you finish the book, you're left with the warm and wonderful feeling you've made new friends. I became an avid Connie Flynn reader with "Shadow on the Moon" and Shadow of the Wolf." This one is even better.

Luke Slade travels through time to an ancient midevil Scottish castle to meet a strong woman who he will eventaully fall in love with. With the mixture of epic battles, midevil dragons, weopans, and a bit of modern guns and uzi, this book is great for everyone. A modern man must choose between his nephews life and his new love, a strong politician in her time. He also must decide whether to face a dragon or to fae his own small life.

I love the characters in this book. They were not perfect or cliche but true to their individual backgrounds and time period. The premise is out of the ordinary when it comes to "time travel" novels. After reading this book, I hope the author decides to do another sequel. I want to know if they ever get out of the time bubble and what happens to Ian and the other citizens of this magical place.

What a delight this book is! Full of surprises, excitment, cleverness and humor, this book offers a fresh premise and a plot that makes the pages fly! That's not even counting the to-die-for hero and lovely, wise and strong heroine. Connie Flynn is a master writer and a fabulous story-teller! Read this book!

A great fantasy, well conceived, smoothly told. A fun read.

Well, after reading her acknowledgements in the front, I was thrilled to see author Diana Gibaldon listed. I was really expecting a book that would catch me at the first page, even second or third. I thought that her time travel aspect was vague along with the actual discription of graphics. I never really understood most of her discriptive writting regarding surroundings and action. The idea behind the story was good. I just wish it was more intriguingly developed. Maybe next time.

I didn't care for it. I didn't connect with the characters. I thought it was like reading an episode of Beauty and the Beast from the TV show a few years ago. The world they (and all the other inhabitants) lived in and had to save.
