Description

With the country under the threat of war, a group of time-traveling government agents devise a risky plan to keep their families safe. But transporting hundreds of years to the past and blending in may prove much more dangerous than they expected.

Cyber Criminal Enforcement Agent Christine Stewart has been to the past before and thinks she knows what to expect. She couldn’t be more wrong.

Life in the eighteenth century is anything but ideal, especially when they learn a rogue agent with plans to strike it rich follows them back in time. Armed with a modern-day weapon, the agent may disrupt the timeline in the most disastrous way and alter history as they know it.

Now they’re refugees in their own homeland, and how they proceed will determine their fate. Will they crash and burn in their race to stop the defector before it’s too late?

With the country under the threat of war, a group of time-traveling government agents devise a risky plan to keep their families safe. But transporting hundreds of years to the past and blending in...

Featured Reviews

A very practical novel, including all the necessities that a person would take on a time travel journey, to 1790, I am impressed by this level of detail. The book itself moved at a good pace, and I enjoyed it. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Premise
With the country under the threat of war, a group of time-traveling government agents devise a risky plan to keep their families safe. But transporting hundreds of years to the past and blending in may prove much more dangerous than they expected.
Unfortunately I couldn’t get into this one as it’s not really my type of genre and was a bit hard for me to follow, but I recommend it to anyone that’s enjoys science fiction and a time traveling element.

Escaping Home was a tremendous read! I am so grateful for the opportunity to read this title! I was more than a little sad that this was the final book in a trilogy. I am quite hopeful that the author will consider possibly turning toward maybe a spin-off from this final story (hint... hint... if anyone with influence sees this!). There is so much potential for this to occur!!!

I had absolutely no problem giving this book a solid 5 stars! I loved how I was unable to guess my way throughout the pages. I absolutely did not expect this ending! This is utterly fantastic! As a result of all of the unexpected twists and turns, I am at a loss on how to give a very detailed review on this book. Anything I say will give away too much on our country's timeline. So, I will simply say that this is an absolute must read (not just this one book, but rather the entirety of the trilogy)! Don't miss out on this incredibly imaginative and brilliant take on the future of our country/world.

One thing I will say is that there were a couple of little details that just felt like they didn't make sense (like how can they know when they go back to the same year that they will not go back to the same moment and undo what all has occurred at that time. However, this was finally explained along with a few other small details that would have just felt too unrealistic to fully enjoy and accept. Ms. Cooper-Burnett truly has a beautiful imagination, and seemed to think of everything! I hope y'all read these stories and get as much enjoyment as I did!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Black Rose Writing through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I enjoyed this book so much that I really wished we could time travel! This was a fun adventure and there was suspense too. I will be looking for more from this new to me author.

really enjoyable .. makes time travel in a new direction credible ..and the dilemma of whether living through bad old times is better than present day nightmare ultimate escape dream . Except the past is actually worse for us .. but not in this series (I had not realised it was third in a series . But i think this might be most entertaining premise .. lighter than it seems .. which is a bonus for dystopian works for me ...
