The McKinnon Legends #5
The Missing One
Decklyn McKinnon, intergalactic cop and strong-arm of the Interstellar Alliance, has been missing from the McKinnon family records since his untimely disappearance in 1523. No one has a clue what could have happened to him leaving the family record silent.
Chasing after a serial killer through time and space, Decklyn takes on the biggest gamble of life. Unsure of his time traveling abilities, he doubts that he can save all of the victims, but it’s possible he can save victim number six. Risking it all to save the life of just one woman, he journeys back to Earth 2005.
Sliding off the conference table, Special Agent A’leeza Vargas moves closer to look at the board covered with five separate crime scene photos. There has to be something she was missing. She could just feel it. It hung just out of reach. “Come on, come on, talk to me. Tell me your secrets. Help me avenge your deaths,” she begs the photos under her breath. Crossing her arms over her chest, Alee turns to her partner, Carl Rogers, “They say dead men don't tell tales. They do, you know. You just have to know how to listen.”
Will history repeat itself? Find out in the fifth installment of The McKinnon Legends.

This completes the McKinnon Legends series and does a fine job of it! The narration is, once again, fabulously done and does justice to the book! I loved this series and this edition in it is no exception!
Declan, the missing son of Nick, returns from far in the future to save the life of Ally and in the process falls in love! The sortyline flows well and the characters are good and well written without being too perfect!!
All in all a fabulous book and well woth the listen/read but I would recommend getting the earlier books first although it is not critical to the story - it just helps make more sense of some things and the other characters

I'm reviewing the series as a whole as I found them a really good read. The story flowed at an amazing pace, the characters realistic and each book although a story on their own referred to characters from the other books.
Although the series is classed as a time travel story it is only at the end of the first book that we see any time travel.

Decklyn is Nic and Morgan's youngest son. he disappeared, quite literally, without a trace at the age of 23.
Alee is an FBI agaent previously talked about in both book 3 and 4. someone is after her, and Decklyn comes from his time (24th century) to save her. i think he feel in love with her from her pictures in the files he has. :-)
taking her back in time, to Nic and Morgan is the only way to save her, but she cant stay there. she has to return, at some point, to her time. however, the person trying to kill her also has the gift of time travel. and all hell breaks loose!
again these men are stubborn to the point of mule-ish in admitting their feelings for their woman.
i will miss them, have to wait til later in the year for the next one!

The Mission One is a great closing to a great series. Deklyn McKinnon moves forward in time , and then travels back to save a Aleeza from a serial killer. Loved this story line . It was full of action, several twist and turns and filled with characters we've grown to love through the series. Decklyn had remained a mystery in the first four books so it was interesting to find out what happened to him, watch him find love and refind his family.
Definitelly would begin with the first book in the series. If you are looking for a new series though this is a great one !

2.5 - I feel bad about that rating because I really have liked the other books in the series. But to me, this just felt rushed, and just didn't have the same level of feeling the others have. The characters did things that were dumb and they were smart enough to know better. I also felt like it was kind of internally repetitive. I am really looking forward to the next in the series, and I just am so hopeful (please!) that the author takes her time and doesn't force things with the next one. The earlier books were so much better and I want another one like those!

This was ok, but I feel like James should just stay out of the future and the deep mythology. The future bits seem a little stilted and after reading Jim Butcher the mythology/fantasy stuff is a bit lame.

The last book in this series. ALthough they did become similar in the end they are well written and enjoyable. I look forward to seeing more from this author.

Enjoyed this book.
Was fun to see what had happened to Decklyn and why he came back. Interesting time line to the end.
