Prévost, Guillaume

Translated by William Rodarmor.
This trilogy ender sharpens the suspense as Sam jumps through time and around the world to save loved ones from the villainous Arkeos man. Time-traveling becomes increasingly hazardous for Sam with his discovery of his enemy's identity and an invaluable--but dangerous--skill. Prévost nicely balances the story's many elements, culminating in a surprising ending to Sam's mission.

Sam's time-traveling adventures plunge on. His quest to find his father hurtles him, along with cousin Lily, from the age of Neanderthals to Depression-era Chicago to Pompeii, all the while tracked by forces both malevolent and benign. Action is Prévost's priority, but he offers enough character development and detail of setting to fully realize both the contemporary and historical scenes.

Translated by William Rodarmor.
This offering operates essentially as a novel-length introduction to a projected series. After Sam's father disappears, Sam finds a secret room, where he's sent back in time. Prévost keeps the plot moving at a breakneck pace, giving both Sam and the reader scant moments to catch their breath between time jumps.
