Overview

""The Time Thriller Trilogy"" delivers gripping, fast-paced mystery that intrigues and captivates through hours, seconds, and centuries. A long history of strange disappearances and unexplainable occurrences leave clues that the town of Fawlt Line may actually sit on a time fault - a portal to alternate times and unexpected time travels - a twist of fate that puts all of Fawlt Line's citizens in serious danger. Will they find the faith to hold on to the town and time where they belong? Can truth prevail? Elizabeth thought volunteering at the Fawlt Line Retirement Center would be fun, but she quickly has second thoughts. While most of the residents are wonderful, there's something about the place - and a strangely familiar man in a wheelchair - that gives her the creeps. When people start disappearing from the center, leaving behind cryptic notes, Elizabeth is convinced the time fault is involved. Her own time-travel adventure may be the key to solving the mystery, but can she convince the sheriff she's telling the truth before more people disappear?

Adventures in time continue in this third and final installment of the Time Thriller Trilogy. The town of Fawlt Line sits on a time fault, a portal into other times or dimensions that is responsible for odd disappearances and appearances. In previous volumes, Elizabeth Forde time-warped into another time, where she was treated as either crazy or suffering from amnesia, and King Arthur arrived in Fawlt Line unexpectedly. Now, 16-year-old Elizabeth has taken a volunteer job at the local retirement center, where she befriends elderly Frieda Schultz. When Mrs. Schultz dies suddenly and residents of the center begin disappearing, Elizabeth again finds herself in the midst of mysterious happenings and ultimately uncovers a plot by a man from another time to bilk retirement-center residents out of their valuables. The strongest of the three books in the series, this has a more philosophical core, beyond overt religious messages, and can stand alone, though those who have read the previous titles will have a greater understanding of the characters, the town and the various stories of time travel. (Fantasy. 10-14) (Kirkus Reviews)
