Another wonderful Elizabeth and Simon adventure

It is always fun and exciting to participate in the time traveling and world saving adventures of Simon and Elizabeth Cross. I love the combination of history, adventure, and love. Our time traveling couple are once again trying to preserve the past to save the future. This time in 1936 in Brazil by locating the lost City of El Dorado and the Staff of Life before unscrupulous archeologists or Nazis locate them. The story includes what you’d expect from this series - fighting, dangerous situations, end of the world scenarios, evil masterminds, henchmen, loyal friends and family, tragic back stories, mystical coincidences, plot twists, snark, and laughs. As usual, there is also the normal growth and conflicts inherent in Simon and Elizabeth’s personal relationship which is always a necessary and integral part of the storyline. And while this is not a true romance book, it is more of a (romantic) suspense adventure, it is their loving relationship that softens the story and makes their characters more able and relatable. As long as there are more books to read in this series, I will keep reading them. Mrs designer89 1 follower

What an Adventure!

I have no words to describe the adventure that Monique Martin takes us on in this novel. Each of the adventures she always writes for us is magnificent, but, for me, thus far this one is outstanding! You are there, you feel the air, eat the food and experience what the characters do through her words! I NEVER try to retell a story as well written as this one, but I will caution, there is much you will not see coming in this journey with the Crosses! My favorite tale of the Cross' journeys to date. Highly recommend, but with the caveat, it is a page turner; so...set aside some time as you will not want to put it down. Janine Dunkel44

Duh duh duuuhhhhh (that's dramatic music....)

Oh man oh man!! What a story!! The usual characters are here...Simon and Elizabeth (in all their glory), a glimpse of Charlotte and Jack, then the good guy, the bad guy, the really bad guy, and the really REALLY bad guy...and the convoluted twists of Ms. Martin's plots and story telling. It's wonderful! Trying not to give a spoiler, but there's a twist at the end that prompted the "music" of my review title!! Anxiously awaiting for the next, and part of me is hoping that this trip is where Elizabeth ended up preggers again!!!! Joseph J. Stockemer11

Fantastic Exploration in Time

I have previously reviewed Monique Martin's books in the past and all had favorable . This is my favorite so far. Could not put this book down. Clever, slightly romantic and funny. However, I was most impressed with the true adventure part of this book. Reminded me of the thrills associated with Indiana Jones, but with a female heroine with her loyal husband at her side. Can hardly wait until the next book is completed in the series. Thank you Monique for the thrill ride.

I do enjoy this time travel series. This installment finds Simon and Elizabeth in the 1930s and traveling from Cuba to the Amazon basin to find a relic purported to extend life indefinitely. Unfortunately, they are not the only ones looking for it. Nazis want it for Hitler's occult collection to rule the world. And then there's the academic whose need for it is more personal.

Just how many more times will Simon and Elizabeth be called on to save the world? Cheryl704 1 follower

Maybe I'm over this series. I find myself tired of Simon's attitude (except for his final scene). There was just too much waiting around for the real adventure. The willingness to overlook things that are wrong in the name of saving history wears thin too. I spent way too much of the book bored or irritated.2020 Bob27

While it's been a couple years since I have read any books with Simon and Elizabeth's adventures, it was a nicely done book with some Indiana Jones subtleties that I did enjoy. Pacing was good and some real live age issues to deal with. Some solutions seemed a bit simplified compared to real life, but did not detract from the main storyline. Nice little epilogue too! What's next! Gina16

Another fun romp in a different time

I have really come to enjoy the Out Of Time series. Monique Martin writes fun adventure stories and Simon and Elizabeth's adventures are always a fun view on history. Looking forward to the next one. Susan Huebl2

4.5 stars

Not my favorite Out of Time book, but still engaging and action packed. A worthy and enjoyable addition to the series. Marie371

Great Adventures

Another great story of Simon & Elizabeth’s journey through the rain forest The council beware of what the next adventure brings. Denise McLachlan76 3

Exciting, and fast paced

Every book that I read by this author turns out to be my favorite, so I won't repeat myself. It was vert engaging, I read it in just a few days. Simon and Elizabeth have gone through a lot in their time travels and took this mission thinking it would be easy, but there is never an easy mission, this one was as interesting as their others. I was surprised at the ending, I was expecting something totally different. It's a great read but make sure you have your seat belt buckled before you start reading. Jacquelyn S237 2
