Two years ago, a weird trick of time sent Travis Merrill spiraling from 2016 to the year 1877. Committed now to his life in frontier Arizona, Travis is married with a child on the way and is homesteading a ranch. His knowledge of the future, however, keeps him at odds with his neighbors, his friends...and his wife. He finds it more and more difficult to protect his home without alienating his family, yet he can’t ignore what he knows is - and will be - true.

Involuntary time traveller Travis Merrill has settled into life in 1870’s Arizona: he’s married, retired from military life, and built a ranch for Phaedra, their unborn child, and for his faithful striker, Riley. Whereas the first book dealt primarily with Travis’s adjustment and concealment of his time travel, this story looks at life as an American settler - it’s hard work, it’s communal, and it’s fascinating. I probably wouldn’t have thought of reading a book about this time period, but by applying Travis’s futuristic lens to everything, Melissa Bowersock provides a brilliant comparison of the pros and cons of then and now - I can totally see the appeal of Outlander. It helps that all the main characters here are thoroughly decent people you respect and want to spend time with. Audio narrator Jonathan Waters really does a superb job in this series, the character voices sound so natural and the action thoroughly compelling.

Another fascinating look at American settler life!
