After several years I finally managed to get a copy of the third Time Warrior novel. In this book takes us to the battlefield with King Arthur, Nazi Germany and Pearl Harbor. Some hidden secrets are revealed and we get a look at the real enemy behind the Iron men.
The ending leaves several questions unanswered, especially if the true enemy may be still out there. There should really be a 4th book to bring the series to a definite conclusion. Here's hoping Matthew J. Costello will eventually give us that 4th book.

Like the old Irwin Allen Time Tunnel series these books tend to deal more with action and adventure than the actual science of time travel. If you are looking for entertainment and not hard scientic accuracy than you might just enjoy these books. The books take place in the near future and center themselves around Jim Tiber a college student who stumbles across a time travel experiment while researching a term paper on the Beatles. Jim exploits take him from Nazi Germany to King Arthurs kingdom, the jungles of Viet Nam and finally to Pearl Harbor in an effort to combat the forces of the Iron Men, a group of scientists from the future who are trying to alter key events in the past in order to change the present.

Although a little short on plausability, the books are entertaining in their characters attempts to acclimate themselves to the different cultures and time periods they find themselves deposited in. With Matthew Costello's fast-paced styling these books are a light and entertaining read.
