The Second Mission

Readers of Richard Scott's time-travel novel Mission in Time wrote that it was too bad he didn't write a sequel. Well here it is, The Second Mission. The Second Mission takes off three years after Gil and Tom ended up 240 years back in time instead of the two years into the future they had expected to find themselves. Christopher Carver and Matthew Blair expect to benefit from what was learned from the first time-travel mission out of the secret government test facility in the Nevada desert. They fully expect the mission to be far more accurate than the first. But time travel isn't easy, so you never know what can happen. Imagine what it's like for the time travelers (or chrononauts) when they find themselves with even more to contend with than their two predecessors. They find themselves in an era when food, technology, sanitation, recreation and vocabulary are far different from what they're used to in the 21st century. Imagine, too, that despite your advantage over the people you meet in history, you find yourself learning as much from them as they learn from you. Whether you're a time-travel aficionado or a lover of historic novels, you won't be disappointed with The Second Mission.
