Book Two of the Gideon Trilogy finds Kate returning to the present with her father and Peter stranded in 1763. He was shoved out of the way at the last minute by the villaneous Tar Man, who has a hey day in the 21st century, once he figures out how everything works. He also starts to figure out ways to move back and forth between the past the and the present which creates all kinds of problems. Kate finally finds a way to return to 1763 to rescue Peter but goes to 1783 instead. The machine was broken in the travel and they travel about Europe to find a scientist who can fix it. There is no definite solution at the end of the book, setting the reader up for the third and final book. Still, I enjoyed the author's attention to the details of the earlier time and the history included in the story as well as the characters and their motives. The Tar Man is certainly a fun villain to follow, but he is really getting out of hand. It will be interesting to see how everything comes together in the end. Rating: 4.25
