In the second part of this incredible story, we find Joel Biggs, an adult at the end of his rope.  He spends his days in one drunken stupor to the next, hooked to the bottle, discouraged and doubting his insanity.  The only way he can find peace is to return to the 1800’s and find his buddy Mark who was left behind after their adventure into another time when they were kids.  He found the book which tells of the history of that time and what happened to The Mystic Clan.  When he returns, he brings along a young girl to share his adventures.  A girl who is going to change his life for the better.  Going back means facing a time of dark dangers, brutal violence and death.  It means that Joel will not only have to face the hardships and adventures of the day, but he will also have to face himself. 

This is a wonderful sequel to this truly great story.  The reader will get to know Joel even better and will find out how he copes with himself as a person and how he learns some very life changing lessons.  Again, these three authors have collaborated to bring this time period very much to life.  They give their readers multi-dimensional characters and a plot that is exciting as well as breath taking.  Lovers of time travel will certainly have in their hands a book that will find a permanent place on their keeper shelves.  Although the story is quite brutal in parts, these talented authors have given it a charm that cannot be resisted and the reader will be turning those pages to see what happens to Joel during his great adventure.  This reviewer was also very pleased to see that Joel finds love and healing.  A very satisfying read that this reviewer is sure all will enjoy.
