Post #3 CFRB January Tour

Time Masters, Book One: The Call is the featured work for January’s tour by the Christian Fiction Review Blog. Click on the image to go to see Time Masters at Amazon.

Time Masters is a fast paced and interesting story centered around two individuals, one human and one Muiraran, who are destined to change the world. Only together can they stop a great evil. We will have to wait for future books in the series for full details of this evil to be revealed, yet in Book One: The Call, we see the struggle to foil this unnamed evil in its first attempt to control time and the history of mankind.

One of the things that I loved about Time Masters was the depth of the characters. Kwaku, Zara, John, Lany, Tomi, Kitty, Julia, Phillip: not a one seemed flat. The feeling of understanding the characters, along with their thoughts, fears, joys and idiosyncrasies, draws the reader fully into the story.

My favorite character was Shona, the Muiraran maiden. From the beginning we see a girl old enough to be out in the world, yet strangely isolated. She struggles with the fear that she is losing her mind as her nightmares progress. She possesses no idea that her nightly dreams are revealing not insanity but her true nature - she is not human. From the beginning we see that Shona is searching. She doesn’t know what she searches for but she knows that she is missing something. She also has dreams of the boy to whom she gave her heart. Is the boy only another dream? Only her music holds her questions and her need at bay.

In Shona we see a young lady who is innocent and trusting. Everything about her character makes you desire to see her protected and cherished. This adds to the suspense of the story as forces conspire to capture, control and even experiment on her. This also draws the reader into the conflict and heightens the intensity of the struggle as you rejoice in Dallan uncovering his desire to protect and cherish Shona. He becomes a larger than life hero, as despite his struggles and bitterness over his situation, he comes to cherish and seek the good of the Muiraran maiden.

I would encourage you to stop by Amazon where you can read the first chapter, other reviews and order the book. You can also stop by the CFRB site to read daily posts that reflect on several of the spiritual lessons that can be learned from Time Masters: The Call.
