A thought-provoking and thoughtfully written adventure.
With the world on the brink of nuclear and chemical war, where can anyone escape to wait out the worst of things? An island retreat is nice until all the supplies have been cut off from the mainland. How about an old family cabin nestled in the woods? Perfect, until the water and air becomes toxic. That’s why Christine Stewart, a time-traveling agent with the Cyber Criminal Enforcement Agency, decides to escape to a place modern warfare can’t touch: the past. More than 200 years in the past, to a time without modern conveniences like automobiles or simple treatments for common ailments. Along with her family and closest friends, will Christine be able to remain anonymous and overcome the elements long enough to make it back to 2072? And if so, will there even be a home left to return to?
Perfect for fans of either speculative fiction or historical fiction, Escaping Home is the breathtaking third installment in the wildly intriguing Christine Stewart time travel adventure series. It is fun to read how the futuristic interlopers, with their language, knowledge, and forward-thinking views are in constant contrast with the jarringly divergent lifestyle of those eking out a life in the eighteenth century. Christine and her friends go from a modern life with holograms, drone delivery, and meal manufacturing home appliances to a harsh and difficult existence including hay stuffed mattresses, total gender inequality, and hostile pirates. The fun for readers is in imagining yourself there. Childbirth in filthy conditions? Greedy criminals? Cramped living conditions and meager rations? Truly a feast for the imagination. Where the bygone becomes the future, Escaping Home is a thought-provoking and thoughtfully written adventure that will leave you thankful for running water and corner pharmacies!
