Narration To Books Time's Edge (Time's Edge #1)
Commander Michael Blayne of the Galactic Armed Forces is highly suspicious of his orders to retrieve a malfunctioning probe from an Old Earth sidetime. After all, the job is a basic training mission, not a usual assignment for an officer of his rank and caliber. However, his Chief-Commander, Alrick Zartollis, has assured him that he is perfect for the mission so he prepares to depart accompanied by a smart-mouthed, know-it-all computer named Max.The "simple assignment" rapidly becomes complicated when he meets Kate, a young woman who prevents him from retrieving the lost probe. When he and Kate are literally blasted from Old Earth to another place and time, Michael realizes he has been set up by his esteemed Chief-Commander. "Probe retrieval, indeed," he mutters as he surveys his new surroundings and the odd individuals who live there: Edgar, a mechanical servant, who disdains the implication that he is a robot. "The robot was my ancestor," he sniffs to Michael, "just as the amoeba was yours."; Jafrey, an irreverent old man with a long gray ponytail, sharp tongue, and a dangerously powerful talent; Nick, the giant Sarzonian monster who can quote Shakespeare; Ivar, the master of a mysterious place called Belencourt, who got so tired of powerful visitors blowing up his electromagnetic door that he had it replaced with an old-fashioned hinged door which was less susceptible to strong auras.
Michael soon discovers he is on a mission so secret he is not even allowed to know what it's all about. To make matters worse, Alrick Zartollis, the one man who knows the truth, is nowhere to be found while the events he carefully put in place one hundred years earlier unfold in ways he never intended.
Time's Edge is the first place winner of the Tassy Walden Award, a literary prize given by the Shoreline Arts Alliance of Connecticut. A fast-paced, lighter tale, the story blends adventure, humor, and romance in a fun-to-read mix of sci-fi and fantasy.

I really couldn't put this book down. The adventures of Michael and Kate had me reading into the night. This book lets the readers know right away that there is so much more to the main characters, but the pacing doesn't drag out the mystery or ruin it in a far-too-early exposition. The suspense, well-rounded characters, and the humor definitely kept me turning the pages. Even if you're not a huge fan of science fiction, you will love this book for its elements of fantasy, adventure, andTime's edge is an imaginative science fiction/romance. I thought the writing could be a little better, but it's still a good read.
I loved this book! It takes you into a world of romance and adventure that you will never want to leave. I recommend this book for any one who loves the idea of time travel and all the possibilities it holds! Science fiction and fantasy fans will be captured by the way the authors entwine both genres into a world of their own.
I feel betrayed.The premise sounded pretty alright. Badass space dude finds earth chick and sets out to save the universe. Sign me up!BUT THEN SUDDENLY!All hell broke loose. It was obvious from the start that the relationship between the protagonists was going to be painfully cliche and uninteresting. And it was! They didn't much act like adults but instead love struck tweenagers!I don't want to give anything away (even though you should maybe consider a different novel... just saying....) so I
Time's Edge was a fun book to read. A sci-fi/fantasy adventure set in in several lavishly detailed worlds, the story takes the reader for a fun-filled, well-paced ride. Wonderful characters and a plot that kept me guessing. I read this book in one day because it kept me hooked. What would happen next? Was it going where I thought it was? I will be reading this again and am looking forward to the sequel.
I enjoy reading mystery books, science fiction books, fantasy books, and good ol' fasioned shoot 'em ups. This book literally had all of these in there somewhere, plus a healthy dose of romance and, dare I say, lust thrown in for good measure. The story moves along at a great pace. I find that most books have at least one portion of it where I sort of have to 'plow' my way through to get back to the good stuff. This book didn't have that. I would recommend it to anyone who likes any or all of
I have not read a sci-fi book since a few years after they were popular in the 1960's (Andre Norton etc). In fact, as I have gone to the library looking for something to read, I have avoided considering sci-fi. I read this becasue I have known the authors for a long time and wanted the chance to see the product of several year's work. My reading was disjointed with starts & stops interrupting the reading.WOW! The pace was fast as a film with film type heros, romance and adventure. I felt
