Debbie P. (LostInThePages) - , reviewed The Uss Intrepid Had Vanished on 3/6/2009 + 35 more book reviews

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 scientific 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.
