Well what do you do when an attractive and quite unclothed lady is standing on your lawn asking for your help? Well, of course you invite her into your home and listen to her request. At least that is what Micajah “Cager” Fenton does.
Thus begins a most unusual story. On one hand it is an adventure story involving time travel and with lots of action. On the other it is a story about love and about second chances and redemption. Along the way this story has more twists than an Appalachian country road. We meet a variety of characters – some honorable and brave (I loved Aunt Celie) and some just plain evil. Cager's road is not an easy one and his decisions will change things for many.
Drawbacks? I found the ending (the last 10% of so) to be elaborate and a bit unsatisfying. (I seem to be in a minority here. YMMV.) Also, why have Lovely Pebble run around naked? I don't see the point.
Anyway, overall a good story that pulled me right in. Christopher Lane provides a skillful narration.
Solid 4 stars.
