review:
'The Far Time Incident' by Neve Masla is a run romp through time combined with a clever whodunnit.

A time-travel lab on a campus is the scene of an accident and Julia Olsen is assigned to the case. She's got an interest as assistant to the dean of science. Campus Security Chief Nate Kirkland is also sent along. Together they want this to quietly go away. As part of their investigation, they take what they think will be a short jaunt back in time with a few students, but someone has something else in mind and the machine is set to send them to ancient Pompeii. They have to save themselves, not get involved in the past and solve the mystery, all before the volcano erupts.

I like it because the story is told from an academic perspective. I could see a university quietly funding a project like this and the rivalries between departments are sharply defined. I like the collection of characters along on the journey and if you believe that this is a time when time travel is possible, it makes for a fun read. I look forward to reading more in this series.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Amazon Publishing, 47North, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
