Book Description

Settle Back for a Hot One: IT'S RIPPING TIME

When terrorists gun down Jenna Caddrick's fiancée, the only daughter of Senator John Caddrick is trapped in a desperate struggle to stay alive. With a pack of killers on her trail, Jenna plunges through Shangri-La Station's time touring gates -- and lands in London of 1888, just in time to meet Jack the Ripper.

And Skeeter Jackson, newly reformed con artist, finds himself caught up in the biggest mystery of the century. All Skeeter has to do is find the Senator's missing daughter, track down Ianira Cassandra's kidnappers, stop a cult of killers and survive Ripping Time...

If I had realized you could write a "novel" without a conclusion, I could have written one a long time ago. I liked the characters but I don't buy books without an ending. Any more of Mister Aspin's books I read will have to come from the library. Since I really want to know how this one comes out, I'll go there and see if they have a copy of the next one.

I did not like this book. To see my hero Skeeter Jackson reduced to some low level JANITOR and then some kind of self appointed protector of dopey tourists was just about all I could stand, though don't miss it if you are a fan of the serise

Wow! I love this series, but this is my favorite so far. If you haven't read the first three, go get them first. If you have, then you know how good they are, this is better!
