review 1: Bree "Banzai" Maguire is a pilot working in South Korea. When she does a flyover, she's shot down and put into hibernation, supposedly for a couple of days. It ends up being around 170 years. The world is different, the nations are different but it seems the fight for freedom is the same as it was when the US fought for freedom and now they're rallying around Banzai as this symbol and catalyst of freedom. Very good book. I'm going to order the 2nd one from the library.
review 2: I like Susan Grant's sci-fi romance writing, but I could not get into this book. I think it might have to do with the idea that this is the first volume in a five volume series with four different authors. Banzai's story does not conclude in this volume, but must continue over t... morehe next four. She will not be the main character, but must be in the background somewhere. (Susan then will write the fifth book and bring the whole thing to a close). I tend to read series that have volumes that stand alone and that the characters from previous volumes "co-star" in the subsequent volumes. Maybe that is what put me off this tale.I do like Banzai Maguire as the main heroine of this volume. She is smart, capable and kick-butt (and she flies fighter jets)! Also Susan has opted for a different mode of traveling to the future. Instead of some convenient time travel plot device Banzai is shot down over enemy territory and is cryogenically frozen and is awakened in the year 2176. Cool idea. less
