In the 24th century, anyone can leap through time at will. To police the time jumpers, the Temporal Enforcement Agency has established a precinct in time. Galar Arvid is a genetically altered warlord and agent who’s been sent back to 2008 to save a pretty Atlanta artist from a Xeran time traveler who intends to kill her for profit.

A three-hundred-year chasm separates them and, even if they dart through time, there’s still a maniacal killer on their tails.

More About the Author

I've been writing erotic romance since 1996, when my first novella appeared in Secrets Vol. 2. In June, 2004, Jane's Warlord, my first novel, was published, followed by FOREVER KISS in July, 2004 the antho HOT BLOODED in September, and MASTER OF THE NIGHT in October. MASTER OF THE MOON, my next book, hit the USA Today list for three weeks, much to my amazement. Since then I've been writing like a lunatic and having a wonderful time.

I've been married to a wonderful man for more than twenty years now. He's a senior investigator with our county sheriff's office. As a result, I know an awful lot of cops, which is one reason I love putting police procedural elements in my fiction. I also spent ten years as a reporter, which gave me a collection of war stories you would not believe.

My husband Mike and I have one son, Anthony, who is in his twenties now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, July 4, 2008

Galar Arvid has a mission: to determine if the death of artist Jessica Kelly is the result of a time jumper. If and only if her murderer is a temporal crime can he intervene....

Jessica's world is about to be turned completely upside down. Until now, she has lived quietly with her roommate while painting and hoping for that big break. Everything is about to change as she will encounter a world completely foreign to her own, one in which time travel is an everyday occurrence and aliens and genetic alteration have created a group of fighters. What will happen when she loses her heart to someone so very different from herself?

I loved JANE'S WARLORD when it first released and have hoped ever since that Angela Knight would return to that world. What a thrill it is to see WARRIOR, a book featuring the time jumping Warlords and the villains they fight against! Fans of JANE'S WARLORD will appreciate that Freika appears in WARRIOR as Freika is a phenomenal sidekick. His feisty wisecracks make him memorable and I hope to see him in future books as well.

WARRIOR is an excellent entry into the series, and one that easily stands alone. The science fiction aspects are brilliantly done as Ms. Knight makes time travel seem very believable. The twists and turns of WARRIOR are fabulously done as there are some real surprises in store for the reader. I can't wait to see where Angela Knight takes us next with this series!

The world of WARRIOR can be a brutal one. Angela Knight provides the perfect balance in Galar, a man genetically engineered to fight and yet one who can also fall in love with a woman such as Jessica. The love scene near the end epitomizes just how well both sides of Galar come together when his heart is involved. Bravo, Ms. Knight! You've got another hit on your hands with WARRIOR!

First - this is my own opinion - I hope that you will choose to read the book yourself to make your own thoughts...

Secondly, I enjoyed this book immensely. I love Angela's books - from her old ebooks (which is how I found her) to the current themes.

Warrior was an excellent book - it brought back fond memories of my reading of Jane's Warrior and re-emphasized my memories of Freika - which was funny back then, but he is just as funny now.

The story is developed thoroughly, and has humor as well as sadness within.

I read it in one sitting - that's a score with me - if I can put it down and do other things, then it's only worth 3 stars - this one is definately a keeper.

Thank you Angela for doing what you do best! Now, where are my other Angela books so that I can go back and re-read them!

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Return to the world of Jane's Warlord, July 6, 2008

This review is from: Warrior: The Time Hunters (Mass Market Paperback)

This novel is set in the universe Knight first brought us in JANE'S WARLORD. I liked that book and I like this one. It was fresh and full of action and romance.

Jessica Kelly is an artist. She and her roommate live in Atlanta in 2008. Jessica has to work to support herself and her art. She is one of the nameless people who struggle to put their vision on canvas, but up until now she has had no luck breaking into the art community.

Galar Arvid is a Warlord for the Temporal Enforcement Agency. He has come to see if maybe Jessica's murder was by a person from the future. If so he will try to save her life and take her to the future to live. Galar is not looking to find any kind of personel interest in Jessica. Since he had been betrayed by a former lover who was a spy, he had guarded his heart and feelings from others. He has a reputation for being cold and efficient.

The murderer turns out to be a Xeran battleborg, and he is after her roommate who has passed some type of DNA to Jessica. Therefore he will kill both of them. After a vicious fight he flees leaving both Jessica and her saviors wounded. The story and romance are intense and Jessica has secrets even she doesn't know about. But the Xerans are determined to kill her and they have a mole in the agency.

I enjoyed the book and there will be more in this series. I look forward to them. Knight has a way with futuristic fantasy and intense romance.
