Product Description

History is melting down, courtesy of a multi-century plot to bring the Transitive shape-shifters to power. Only Time Rover Jacynda Lassiter can set things back on course, but that will be difficult. She's been abandoned in a Victorian insane asylum with no memory of who she is.

Her two Victorian friends are facing equal difficulties: Dr. Alastair Montrose is caught between his duty to uncover the truth and powerful foes who wish it buried. Once lauded as a hero, Detective-Sergeant Jonathon Keats is on the run, framed for a woman's heinous murder. Keats' arch enemy, Desmond Flaherty, can prove him innocent, but the Fenian isn't about to come forward, not with the life of his only daughter on the line.

If the anarchist's cache of explosives ignites the biggest conflagration since the Great Fire of 1666, the future will change. There will be no sanctuary from the Madman's Dance.


About the Author
Jana Oliver is an Iowa native who now enjoys the sunny winters in Georgia. She's been a nurse, a travel agent, farmed with draft horses and lived in Hong Kong. Once the writing virus caught up with her, it hasn't let loose since. "It was like flipping a switch," Oliver explained. "I went from not writing anything to absolutely consumed by the need to put the stories on paper."

4.0 out of 5 stars More like 4 1/2 stars...., March 18, 2009
By Deborah Wiley (Winter Haven, FL) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Chaos is at hand as history is in the throes of an unexpected thread in the timeline. Events transpiring in the year 1888 are changing everything and it all centers around Time Rover Jacynda "Cynda" Lassiter and Victorian contemporary Detective-Sergeant Jonathan Keats. Unfortunately, Cynda is trapped in Bedlam, completely unaware of her name and with the mindset of a child while Keats is suspected of murder and on the run. If the timeline isn't corrected soon, the entire town of London could literally go up in flames.

If you haven't read the first two books in the series, stop what you are doing right now and read SOJOURN and VIRTUAL EVIL first. MADMAN'S DANCE picks up right where VIRTUAL EVIL left off but the complexity of events may confuse readers who haven't read the two prior books. Cynda's nature will seem a bit odd, especially when the spider reappears, to readers who haven't made the full journey with her to see how all the pieces fit together. In addition, the complexity of the world of the Transitives could be confusing unless one has seen the development of the world emerge.

Jana G. Oliver splendidly combines time travel with the creation of the Transitives to create a fascinating world. Thank goodness she didn't leave us with a cliffhanger like in VIRTUAL EVIL, however, as I'm not sure my nerves could have handled the wait! Ms. Oliver takes full advantage of the world she has created, cleverly using the en mirage ability of the Transitives to add an aura of mystery to each and every interaction.

Character development is critical to the success of the Time Rovers series. Cynda is a likable character and her journey back from Bedlam will have fans of the series cheering her along. Dr. Alistair Montrose is a fascinating secondary character as his insight and clinical mind add an air of believability to a tale that stretches the imagination. In fact, each and every character has his or her own sub-story as each one is multidimensional. Bravo, Ms. Oliver, for creating such realistic characters!

What a wonderful blend of science fiction, time travel, and characters we can love! MADMAN'S DANCE is easily recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Spider says:, February 12, 2009
The further adventures of Ms. Lassiter is absolutely fantastic. The intrigue, the politics and adventure left me craving for just one more page everytime I picked up Madman's Dance.

Who is behind the plot, will Cynda recover the dastardy attack orchestrated by the Company who controls time travel. Who is behind it all?

Another great book of the trilogy and I think the best of the three if that is possible to improve on a great story.

If you like adventure, intrigue, detecive work, sci fi and a bit of history, The Time Rover series is the series for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another White-Knuckle Ride!, February 6, 2009
By L. Polsue "leanne8" (Stone Mountain, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Madman's Dance is Book 3 of Jana Oliver's Time Rover Trilogy.

Like her two previous Time Rover novels (Sojourn & Virtual Evil), Madman's Dance is yet another roller coaster ride filled with white-knuckle suspense that will have you holding your breath to the last page!

Cheers!
