4.0 out of 5 stars
enjoyable romantic science fiction, Aug 2 2009
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Time Raiders: The Seeker (Mass Market Paperback)
Time raiders Delia Sebastian and Jake Tyler are assigned to work together in finding the first piece of an alien artifact the Karanovo Bronze Seal in ancient Rome during the time of Julius Caesar. Delia does not want to go with Jake as her partner as she has a past with him that left her hurt. On the other hand, Jake looks forward to spending time with her.
Their Italian vacation posing as Grecian mercenaries proves dangerous as Caesar's mistress Servilia has an agenda of her own yet the artifact is in her Pompeii villa. Worse, an alien seeks the artifact and is using the body of the scribe to hide inside. As the peril mounts, Delia and Jake must cover each other's back if they are to survive the mission and have any hope of successfully accomplishing it.
This is the opening act of a new romantic science fiction series in which different authors over the next few months will provide novels. THE SEEKER is a fine tale starring two leads who battle one another and two insidious enemies. The story line starts slow as the key background information is provided, but once the protagonists (some might say antagonists) go back in time to 44 BC, the action turns fast-paced and the lead couple's attraction could ignite Ancient Rome. Fans will enjoy Lindsay McKenna's solid thriller as Ancient Rome comes alive and the table is set for Cindy Dees in September to go after the next segment of the Karanovo Bronze Seal.

Don't quit this series just because Book #1 is BAD!, July 9 2011
By Janine - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Time Raiders: The Seeker (Mass Market Paperback)
As a fan of P.C. Cast I discovered this series, which apparently each book is written by a different author (P.C. Cast wrote Book #3). However, this author is terrible. The dialogue was superficial, forced, corny, unrealistic, and irritating. The sappy "feelings" discussions over and over were nauseating. It was like the author thought "If a woman was totally pathetic what would she want a guy to say to her over and over again?" and then filled the book with that, which doesn't even sound like how a guy would even think in his own head (and yes, the point of view is from each character's perspective so you get a front row seat to everyone's thoughts)....But the premise behind the story was intriguing and knowing that the next book was written by someone else gave me hope, which I found to be worthwhile! Book #2 was enormously better and book #3 even more so! I wonder if the authors are kicking themselves letting this author go first in ther series because I can't imagine that it hasn't affected the sales for them all....but then maybe that's why this series is selling at $3 per kindle book. Anyway, give the series a try and force yourself to at least read #2 before you decide whether or not to quit it!
