The story cannot be true - not really. But then the whispers start....

A frolicking good time
I'm a big fan of Ted Bell's Alex Hawke stories, so I had high expectations from this book, and I wasn't disappointed. The genre is very different from the Alex Hawke books, but the high excitement and excellent character development made this a joy to listen to. I love the way Ted integrated a fantasy pirate adventure with a time travel story, and grounded it all with historically significant characters. It was like Pirates of the Caribbean meets The Hunt For Red October. This is one I will definitely listen to again.

Excellent for kids and adults.
This is a great book for all ages. My ten year old was thoroughly gripped by the story and the historicl insights, and my younger kids were completely absorbed by it all. Finally, a great adventure story for kids that doesn't rely on the ugly supernatural to capture their interest.

If you don't read this book you are missing out!
My 10 year old son read this book and couldn't put it down. He raved about it so much that I was compelled to read it, as I do most of his books. I must say that this is the best book I have read in a long time. I am so impressed with it that I have recommended it already to a dozen people. I just wish there were more books like this. I believe this book redefines what a book can be. If you haven't read this book you are really missing out. By the way, the narator for this book was also the best I have heard, amazing!

Great adventure book for adults too!
This book was recommended to me by my boss. His 10 year old loved it, so he listened to it and told me about it. Great book! I've read other time traveler books but this one was almost like a Clive Cussler underwater adventure with two plot lines intersecting at the very end. The narrator does a good job with German and British accents and even the little girl's character. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a fun, adventurous, and well-written story. It makes me want to read the author's other adult-adventure books. Enjoy!

A Great Adventure
What did you love best about Nick of Time?
The characters are well developed. The heroes in Nick of Time are great, they are not perfected, each character has their own personal problems to over come.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Hobbs is my favorite character, He is a Weapons Exported for the British Royal NAVY. What I like best about him is that he has a soft spot for Kate, throughout there part of the adventure he takes care of her. Playing mind games with the Germans, well trying to get information to Churchill about the movements of the German U-boats.
Any additional comments?
This is a great Adventure story for children, it is a modern Treasure Island story for this generation. If you like books like the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling or Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan this book is for you.

This is a 10 star book
I loved this story and can't wait to read the next installment. Ted Bell is a fantastic writer. This may be a kids story, it certainly brought out the kid in me. I found myself identifying with every character in the book one way or another. I gave it to my 19 year old daughter and she is loving it too. Three cheers for Ted Bell. The narration is also world class, I find John Shea one of the best. He bought each character to life.

Fantastic for a child (or child at heart)
This is a great book for those who like a great story with a healthy dose of suspense, and don't need blood, guts or gore. I am going to let my kids listen to this one as they enjoy a great story as much as me.

Good story for kids and adults
I agree with most of the other reviews. This is a great story- well written, a little educational with a fun use of time travel, and the narrator is superb. But while I liked it, it just didnt have me dying to get back to it. I skipped a few parts when I was interrupted in my listening and ultimately never rewound it. So a great story-especially for kids-but not somthing that really excited me.
