5.0 out of 5 stars Mary E. Rose's "LINK DETONATOR" Rocks!, January 3, 2006

This review is from: Link Detonator (Paperback)

Mary E. Rose's Sci-Fi Thriller "Link Detonator," begins where every good story should, with action. Marion Pallor, a historian is caught up in a time warp and lands in the middle of a prehistoric cave dwelling. The inhabitants, a Neanderthal clan occupying the cave, quickly take notice and a confrontation ensues with the leader of the clan known as the "brave one." He is taken captive and remains for the night but this temporary reprieve does not last for long. During the night Marion flashes back to his first meeting with the child Xavier Peek who is somehow a conduit connected to the historian's present and past circumstances. Desperate to get off his roller-coaster rides of transitional time dimensions, Marion struggles for answers hoping to get back to the life he knew.

His fiancée Angela Fenton, a blue eyed blonde anthropologist, mysteriously disappears on a research trip to Africa. Ms. Fenton was working on her cultural anthropology dissertation, studying the Ibibio tribe known for their practice of witchcraft. Her disappearance haunts Marion Pallor and breaks his heart, as he recalls her last words:

"I'll be back before you know it," she whispered in his ear as she hugged him long and hard.

The following morning the leader of the clan brutally attacks one of the women and Marion, outraged, confronts him. A desperate battle ensues. Just when we think our hero is about to be mortally wounded in combat, he activates a portal through time that transports him to the ancient land of Mesopotamia where the king of Babylon rules. He befriends a slave girl name Aya and her master Dagon who agrees to provide refuge in the land where the law of Hammurabi reigns supreme. His only saving grace is that they believe him to be the Sumero-Babylonian god of war, "Ninurta". Thus ends the first chapter of this most remarkable tale. The successive chapters take the reader through a series of times and places as Marion struggles to get back to his own time and solve the riddle of the child Xavier and the mysterious disappearance of his beloved Angela.

There is something for everybody in this edge-of-your seat action packed Sci-Fi thriller. Mary Rose's debut novel delivers what it promises. I have no doubt this will be the first of many fine works to come from her pen. If you like history, if you like Sci-Fi, if you like a powerful story that opens up a window of knowledge in a uniquely imaginative way, then you will love Mary E. Roses "Link Detonator." I did. I recommend this book without reservation.
