Publisher Description

Time ItseLf is SpLIntERINg.


Abducted to 1763, Peter Schock and Kate Dyer begin to understand that history has reached a tipping point. The antigravity machine is in the hands of the cruel and ambitious Lord Luxon -- who has set his sights on the most valuable prize of all: America. He is determined to manipulate time to his advantage, no matter what the cost.

And the cost is great indeed. As Lord Luxon changes more and more of the past for his own gain, terrible time quakes begin to sweep through all of history. Kate Dyer, adrift in time and suffering from an overexposure to time travel, knows that if Lord Luxon is not stopped, the time quakes will tear the universe apart.

Meanwhile Gideon and Peter hunt for their enemy, the Tar Man, in the dark streets of eighteenth-century London, and Peter begins to realize that he may hold the fate of the world in his hands.

The stunning conclusion to the critically acclaimed Gideon trilogy finally reveals the fates of Peter, Kate, Gideon, and the universe itself. This long-awaited book lives up to the promise of The Time Travelers and The Time Thief, delivering a rousing historical adventure that will have readers of all ages on the edge of their seats.

"Great ending to an original, fascinating series. This was probably my favorite book of 2009 before I started really thinking about the ending and dissecting the science behind it (which you should really never do when enjoying a time travel book/movie), and started finding some inconsistencies. At any rate, the alternate universe premise was really intriguing, as was Kate's fast-forwarding (love, love, loved the bit with the Tar Man, Gideon and Peter out on the Thames... SO well-conceived and written). I'm sorry this series has come to an end!"

    " The ending wasn't very good, and i got kinda mixed up in the middle. All logether, not so good as the other two. Not as much action, just complicated explanations on how time works. And Peter and Kate kinda lose my interest as characters. I was more interested in a newly introduced character... "

    " A nice conclusion to the trilogy, although it did feel she ended it quickly. I felt as though I needed a little more closure on a few things. Time travel books really make you think and ask yourself many questions about the past. Would we change it and if so, how different would things be? "

    " It's nice to read a series where there is a limited #, some go on and on and it gets drawn out. The time travel creates even more trouble in all the parallel universes. Good series. "

    " The final book of the Gideon trilogy was good. I had trouble with the typographical errors, though. There were enough that I wondered if they were in a hurry to publish the book. The ending was hollow and it is hard to believe that everything was set right by one change to time. Other than that, it was an interesting book and full of more adventure and action. "

    " This book is the last in a trilogy that I've enjoyed more than any other youth fantasy I've read recently. It's well-written and the characters are fully developed. I'd recommend it to any good reader who likes adventure stories. "

    " If you read these books, try to do them all back-to-back. I found this last one confusing because I wasn't caught up on all the complicated goings-on. And like Amanda said, this book stressed me out. But it was good! "

    " Rule #1 in writing a time travel story - do not end it by making it never happen. This book did just that. Other than that it was ok. The first two books were really really good! "

    " I didn't like the abrupt ending; I thought it was something that could've happened at any point throughout the trilogy. However, the rest of the book was really good. I think it could've been much better if the author fixed the ending, it was really unsatisfactory! "

    " I'm not quite sure why so many people disliked the ending of this trilogy. Personally, I thought it was perfect. In fact, I thought each book was wonderfully written, though a little less so the second, with great plots, twists and surprises. In my opinion, they are definitely worth the read! "

    " The final book in the trilogy was not a surprise ending, but it was artfully complicated. While reading the last chapters, one is led down the garden path of believing the end is obvious and the characters parts are written to carry on this ruse. Only afterward do you learn the real ending! "
