Portrait of Lydia ~ Grant Tyrell worked his whole life to attain fame, fortune, and power. When a Harvard professor did Grant's family tree, he was told that one of his ancestors had been Septimius Severus, warrior-emperor of the Roman Empire. So, when Grant saw Time Travelers Inc.'s web site on the Internet, he decided to take a much needed vacation and travel from 2000 A.D. to 200 A.D. What Grant Tyrell wanted was to experience total power. To decide the fate of millions! To own all the known world! And to experience the power and glory of the Roman Empire! He never suspected that the Time Tunnel would have other plans for him. That he should have listened to Wainwright. Or that a young woman named Lydia, of the house of Marcus Flavius Antonious of Rome, would hold HIS fate in her pretty hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Recommended to dedicated science fiction enthusiasts,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Portrait of Lydia (Time Travelers (Time Travelers Press)) (Paperback)
Portrait Of Lydia by Hollie Van Horne is an simply enthralling novel of time travel being used (or abused) for a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. Or perhaps an end-of-a-lifetime vacation, when the time traveler's dreams of dominating the ancient Roman Empire of 200 A.D. all turn sour and a woman named Lydia of the house of Marcus Flavius Antonious holds his fate in her slender hands. An exciting and adventurous saga, Portrait Of Lydia is confidently recommended to dedicated science fiction enthusiasts in general, and time-travel buffs in particular.

Portrait of Lydia is the story of a man from the future who is rich in finance, but poor in humanity. He goes back in time to fulfill his desire to rule the world and finds that he cannot control anything and that destiny has other plans for him.
Strong characters, loyalty, compassion, friendship, trials and adventure, stirred together to make a wonderful story.

Amazing journey for all,

I have read all of Ms. Van Horne's books and this is absolutely one of the best. Ms. Van Horne makes her characters seem so real, you feel like they are someone you have already met. When I first started reading, I wanted Grant to be punished for being such a jerk! Watching him live through his ordeal though, I ended up on his side and cheering for him throughout the book. Ms. Van Horne has done a fabulous job with the historical accuracy of this time travel book. Forget "Gladiator" (well, ok, just watch it to see the amazing actors!) and pick up this book for a more realisitc view of a gladiator's world. Amazing....please keep them coming Ms. Van Horne!!
