I just recently re-read this book for the 4th time and it brought my close to tears again at the depths of Al and Sam's friendship. While it is not necessary, I would reccommend seeing the folowing epsiodes before reading the book: Starcrossed, M.I.A, The Leap Home, and Vietnam. It will bring more enjoyment to the book. Storm was able to play off these episode emotions throughout the book and she did a great job of keeping the characters true to the Ql universe throughout the entire book. If you are not a QL fan now, you will be after reading this book.

This is by far the best of the Quantum Leap novels that I have been able to read. I couldn't put it down. (I recieved a detention for reading it while I should have been working in class) I have always wanted to hear more about Al, as he is never really the focus of attention, and this is just the book I was waiting for. I reccomend it to any Quantum Leap fan, especially those of you who think Al should get some more recognition. The plot is involved and very well written. One of my favorite books ever!

Elizabeth Storm has written what is, in my opinion, the best Quantum Leap novel yet. All those little inconsistancies in Admiral Al Calavicci's background are explained when Dr. Sam Beckett leaps into a doctor who is treating a 'John Doe' at a military hospital. This is the ultimate book to read in this series, especially if you are an Al-fan, but Sam-fans will love it as well. It balances what's happing back at Project Quantum Leap and what's happing in the past perfectly. Don't miss this one

going into al's past was great...I loved this book! Read it

I just could not put this book down. If you are a fan of the Quantum Leap series on television then you will definitly enjoy this book.

All I have to say is that this is the best of any of the Quantum leap books. And if there is every a movie for QL than this should be what it is based on.

L. Elizabeth Storm takes segments from several episodes of this seminal television series and some previously-unexplained moments from Sam and Al's pasts, and creates this excellent, page-turning narrative. Even the pickiest QL purist should not be able to find an inconsistency in the behavior of any of the characters, nor in their motivations. There are even some marvelous inside jokes; the kinds of asides and one-liners that we can hear Al's voice deliver.

Sam leaps into a psychiatrist practicing at Bethesda Naval Hospital just as a newly-repatriated POW is returned to the US, one Lieutenant "John Doe." Despite warnings from the present-day Al not to become involved, Sam is drawn into a circle of deceit and string-pulling that tests his mettle, and threatens to change history. In the process, he learns a great deal about how Al has come to deal with the world, and the pain that he's experienced at his worst moments.

The characters are well-developed and of course I came to the novel knowing the two main ones very well, so my expectations were high. Those expectations were fulfilled. It was so nice to spend time with these people again, and in such a beautifully-written experience.

Pulitzer is a 10+. It was very well written and the story line-excellent. Ms. Storm is a great writer of QL books. This book can really tell you how Al and Sam feel at different stages of the book, true heart felt feelings. I did read the book three times and will again-it is that good. Two thumbs up for this one :):)

This was one excellent book! Out of all of the Quantum Leap books that I've read, this has to be the best. It really goes along with the series!

I just recently finished this book... and I must tell you ...IT WAS FANTASTIC. Elizabeth Storm really knows her QL stuff. It was amazing how you could relate the book with the episode it was involved with. Her facts stood strong and there were no mistakes or misunderstandings between the two. I would recomend buying this book then reading it twice
