The Incident Series #2
The Runestone Incident
We found ten men, red from blood and dead…
At the center of an expanding mystery: a fabled Viking runestone left behind in the Minnesota woodland of ages past.
In this much anticipated second installment of Neve Maslakovic’s time travel series, St. Sunniva University’s Julia Olsen and Nate Kirkland find themselves hot on the trail of a fourteenth-century artifact, a missing runic specialist, and an all-too-familiar kidnapper who has used the time travel lab’s STEWie (SpaceTimE Warper) for a joyride deep into America’s past.
Armed with nothing more than a hunch and a keen understanding of History’s rules, can Julia, Nate, and their teammates track down the kidnapper and the missing researcher before the inevitable—and perilous—clash with History?
A skillful blend of mystery, science, and history, The Runestone Incident is a smart and satisfying follow-up to The Far Time Incident.

Troubles continue to plague St. Sunniva University’s time travel lab. In this second entry of the series it’s diligent assistant to the dean Julia Olsen’s soon to be ex-husband causing the uproar. He’s convinced that the alleged Viking runestone found by his grandfather not far from the Minnesota campus is authentic, so he hijacks the university’s time travel machine to prove it for a TV reality show he hopes to produce. If like me you enjoy time travel novels with an academic setting, eccentric but appealing characters, pervasive but subtle humor, space/time conundrums, interesting historic eras to visit, and just a light background romance then this is the perfect book.

I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway. I actually bought the 1st book in the series, as I do not like starting off without knowing the background. That being said, you could very easily pick this book up without having read the 1st one and you would be set. The author does tie some of the 1st book into the 2nd but does as good job a making it easy for someone to just pick up and read this book.
I felt this book had a faster pace than the last one and I really enjoyed that. It may have been the overall theme that I related to with more, Vikings/Norsemen, as I have more interest in that history then in Pompeii.
It ended leaving room for another book in the series, and I will be looking forward to the next installment when it comes out.

This was fun, I hadn't read the first one, so I went back and read it but it wasn't necessary for the enjoyment of the second installment.
Pretty funny, nice pace and I love time travel and science!
check the series out, its a good time.

Again an exellent read from Maslacovic.

I really enjoyed this book, can't wait for the next. Although they should really get some better security around the Time Travel Lab. It seems like just anyone can get in there....

A different shade of disappointment to the first book. A lot of time spent on personal character stories and character development, a very small (and not very interesting) "incident", no real mystery, and what's more, the historical aspects of time travelling are really just background noise in very few chapters. There are only a handful of twists, and not many of them interesting.

I love a good time travel tale. This book was centered around the runestone that allegedly proves Norwegians arrived in Minnesota in the 14th century. It’s currently found in the Runestone Museum in Alexandria, MN and I never in a million years thought someone would write an entire book about it.
July 6, 2024
This just wasn’t good. A time travel book, but we didn’t get into any time travel until 40% of the way through. The writing also needs some serious development. Two stars because the idea was good, let down by the execution.

Great sequel
Very exciting with a few drawn out parts. Great to see the characters staying consistent. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

The sequel is a bit better than its predecessor and just as easy to turn the pages for - these are fun reads

Hmm
A bit slower paced than the last book.. even the actual time travel bits were kinda drawn out and not as momentous. Hopefully the third book makes up for the myriad of typos..

If you’ll remember, last month I read and reviewed Neve Maslakovic’s The Far Time Incident in an attempt to get my money’s worth out of my Amazon Prime subscription. Fortunately, the second book in the series is likewise available to borrow, and so now I give you a review of The Runestone Incident. Obviously, there will be spoilers for the previous book. Nature of a series and all that. You’ve been warned.
“We…found ten men, red from blood and dead. Ave Maria save from evil.” Unlike Pompeii, I actually had no prior knowledge of the Kensington Runestone. I was most of the way through the book before it even occurred to me that the artifact in question (and thus the debate being explored) really existed. It does, and you can read about it on Wikipedia if you care to look it up. It’s an interesting debate, but since we unfortunately don’t have access to a real-life time machine, one that will likely never be satisfactorily solved.
St. Sunniva University was just getting back to normal, and then this. Last year there was the thing with the missing professor, and the attempted murder-by-time-machine, followed by the shock of the travelers’ return and the revelation that the supposed-culprit was framed. Julia Olsen and her companions returned safely, but they managed to keep one relevant fact out of the news stories that followed–they accidentally brought a young Pompeiian girl home with them when they returned. Now Julia’s not-quite-ex-husband (the divorce papers, like the proverbial check, is “in the mail”) has shown up in town threatening to expose their secret if he’s not allowed the use of the time machine to prove the authenticity of the Kensington Runestone, which his grandfather supposedly helped discover. Being a stubborn sort, he refuses to take no for an answer, and soon disappears into the past with Dr. Holm, who is herself fixated on finding the fabled Vinland. Is Holm a hostage or a fellow conspirator? Julia doesn’t know, but they can’t take any chances….they’re going to have to follow the pair into pre-Columbian America and hope for the best….
As with the previous volume, the author really did a great job with her research. Just as important, she manages to communicate the relevant factual information to the reader in a way that avoids at least the worst brand of info-dumping (i.e. Character 1 telling his friend, “As you know, Ourland has been at war with Daenemy for over a century….”). Most of the relevant information is being learned for the first time by the primary characters, and believably so. Do the secondary characters lecture? Sure, some, but the lectures are required not only by the reader but also by the characters. Anyway, I wasn’t bugged by it. You might be. The story was fun, and I enjoyed it immensely, but I wouldn’t say it’s incredibly thrilling. The stakes just aren’t all that high. Quinn is going to reveal their secret? Oh darn, the media will pester them. So horrifying! Quinn and Holm have disappeared into the past? We don’t really like Quinn, so if he comes to harm it’s little loss to us. We like Holm somewhat, but Julia (our POV character, and thus our filter for all information) doesn’t trust her completely, nor does she believe Quinn is capable of kidnapping and/or murder, so there’s not really the highest of stakes there either. Of course, she could be wrong, and like I said I was interested all the way through, but it’s not life-or-death for the most part. The most dangerous factor is actually History itself trying to keep them from changing anything. The historical question? Well, I am interested, but a novel is hardly going to actually solve a real-world mystery. Whether the Runestone is real or fake at the end of the book, it’s still a mystery here in the real world. For those of you who complained about the obvious “sequel-bait” ending to the first novel, be forewarned that Ms. Maslakovic has done it again here, but don’t expect me to share your annoyance. It just doesn’t bug me. Some of my favorite authors do that. Jim Butcher put a bullet in his main character’s brain and left him sinking unconscious into the depths of Lake Michigan, for Heaven’s sake! My only reaction to that was to bite my nails until the next book came out….
CONTENT: Mild language. Brief violence, or at least the threat thereof. Mild sexual innuendo, far more subtle than most authors would make the implication.

I contemplated between scoring The Runestone Incident by Neve Maslakovic with a one star or two stars and picked the latter grade because I haven't read the previous book in this series, which probably contributed to my confusion while reading parts of this story.
Summary
Once again, troubles and mysteries find their ways into St. Sunniva University and its STEWie lab. Julia Olsen, assistant to the Dean of Sciences, faces an unauthorized time travel run and a kidnapped Dr. Holm. And all the evidence points to her soon-to-be ex-husband Quinn, who is on a quest to prove the authenticity of the Kensington Runestone. Among uncertainties and chaos, Julia, along with her old teammates from the previous adventure and new helps, jump back in time to search for the missing scholar and the truth about Viking history.
My Thoughts
Although this can be treated as a standalone book, the author does often reference the previous book, The Far Time Incident, so I was lost more than once while reading this story, especially when it comes to how the time travel machine works.
I have no interest in the historical eras that are discussed in this book, so it was quite boring for me when the author goes into details about them. However, if you are interested in these periods, the book provides very intriguing historical facts and theories. It also has an extremely slow start and should have been condensed by about 100 pages. Otherwise, the rest is pretty well written and has an eventful storyline.
It's not easy to find decent time travel stories with reasonable plots yet don't end in a mess, so I would still recommend this book to those who are interested in these particular historical periods or just want an opportunity to brush up on Norse history.

When I choose books from Amazon Vine I often will step a bit out of my comfort zone and try something new. Sometimes, like with The Divorce Papers, I read something wonderful that I wouldn't have otherwise tried. Other times the attempt falls flat. Unfortunately, The Runestone Incident falls into the latter category. I just didn't find myself interested in this from minute one. I didn't particularly enjoy Julia's point of view and I'm simply not buying that as an admin she gets to time travel. She seems far too flighty and not particularly interesting as a narrator. I never felt much about her which is a horrible thing to feel about your protagonist. I think the final straw for me was when she retrieved a piece of evidence on her own (a point for Julia) but then failed to share it with the rest of her time traveling team before they actually went back in time (minus 100 points for Julia). That makes absolutely no sense! I feel like much of the book plays out with events happening to her instead of her taking the initiative. The time travel was nifty and the rules regarding it even more interesting but if you don't care about any of the characters then some time travel fun doesn't quite make up for it. All in all this was a miss for me and even though the book ends with the clear lead to the next one, I'm just not interested.

This is the second book in a series. I did not know that when I started it, but it doesn't matter. The author does a good job of summarizing the first book at the beginning and this is a separate story from the first, even though it involves the same characters. I liked this book at first and was very intrigued by the time travel plot. But I feel the author could have made better use of such a theme. It wasn't as exciting a book as I was hoping for. It was actually quite boring as far as time travel books go. The characters travel back in time to try and prove that a runestone found in Minnesota, where the book takes place, is real or a fraud. They travel back to an 1898 Minnesota farm to witness the discovery of the runestone. Then they travel back a thousand years to see if they can witness the actually carving of the runestone. I feel if you are going to write a time travel book the plot should be more exciting and interesting. The author is a good writer and I don't feel like I wasted my time reading the book. I just think she fell short of making better use of a great concept.

This is the first book I've won and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I was passingly familiar with the story/myth of the Minnesota runestone and wasn't sure what to expect. Time travelling back to historical points of reference has been a dream of mine all my life - unfortunately, at my current age I wouldn't be a fit companion for such an expedition. The characters were well defined, the plot easily imaginable, and it was easy to read. The subject could have been handled in a more ponderous but less enjoyable way - the author is to be commended.
Coming from Newfoundland, I've never heard of L'anse aux Meadows being called Lancey Meadows, nor has any of my family who still reside there. The most common Newfoundland variation is Lance o'Meadows. Would I recommend this book to others? Definitely!!! As a matter of fact, I'm bringing it home to Newfoundland this summer to share with my family.

Divertente romanzo di fantascienza "molle" basata sui viaggi nel tempo, ma solo nel passato e solo a scopi di studio. Anche così però, non sempre le cose vanno come dovrebbero andare, anche e soprattutto quando i ricercatori si portano dietro i propri problemi e le proprie frustrazioni, senza contare che la Storia protegge il suo corso, senza curarsi della vita e del benessere dei viaggiatori.
Ringrazio Amazon Publishing per avermi messo a disposizione gratuitamente una copia in cambio di una recensione onesta.
Funny "soft" science fiction novel based on time travel - only in the past and only for study purposes. Even so, things do not always go the way they should go, especially when researchers bring with them their problems and frustrations, not to mention that history protects its course, regardless of the life and welfare of the community.

Notes:
- A Goodreads free giveaway.
- Science Fiction... Time Travel... Reminded me of a Connie Willis novel.
- Dislike reading second book of series but this will make me get #1 and wait for #3.
- Prefer trashy romance gendre, but even though there was only one lip lock scene the relationship between hero and heroine was intriguing. Enjoy strong silent male.
- History is treated as a character. Well almost like a character. Prevents time travellers from interacting with and changing "history". Causes as many problems as it solves. Enjoyed this idea and twist on traditional time travel.
- fast paced plot with just enough mystery to keep my interest. Ending is satisfying.
- Dose rune stone really exist. There is one in NY . Dakota. Wish there was note on factual basis of story.
-Enjoyable read. Recommended

I really love Ms Maslakovic's descriptive writing style. my favorite part of both books have been towards the end where some danger is seriously looming and the actions that follow are really exciting. I could illustrate or storyboard the action, it's so clear. (from the simple 'pop' heard in IS#1 to Julia noticing the darker clouds overhead (IS#2), it was just a fun, exciting romp!)
I can see how the series would be a lot shorter but i keep thinking "don't they lock this place??" Considering their incidents cost the school a great deal in funding/resources, you'd think that room would be under lock and key, under armed guard 24-7, or at least unprepared for a trip. Maybe moving the panels or stewie's basket so only an extremely well knowledged person could even use the thing/activate it.

I really enjoyed The Runestone Incident from start to finish. I probably reacted more favorably than average because the contents of the book so closely paralleled my own interests. Having an academic setting with science and history themes, some outdoor adventure, and tossing in time travel to boot? Perfect. And a Scandinavian connection too.
I found it very interesting how author Neve Maslakovic dealt with the various complications and logical problems involved in time travel. Her solution is very direct and it eliminates a lot of the runarounds that other time travel novels love to engage in.

This terrific time-travel novel, second in the series, calls to mind the novel TIMELINE by the late, great Michael Crichton.
In this adventure, a fine mix of science, history and adventure, Julia Olsen must find a way to catch her estranged husband who has absconded with the time travel device that their mutual team had worked with. His goal is to prove that a Viking runestone found in Minnesota is genuine --- and he seeks to profit from this by spinning it into a reality show.
Filled with twists and not nearly as corny as it sounds, THE RUNESTONE INCIDENT is a great read and a winner of a novel.

I think it’s a decent story, fairly well paced. Previous book wasn’t so well paced, most of the action started in second half. Here, it was different. Whole story was ok and funny thing is I just saw an article about Vikings arriving in America before Columbus in National Geographic. As for characters - most are ok, except for maybe Quinn, who surely is an idiot. It’s not like it’s some kind of amazing book, so I can say much about it. But it’s entertaining and I’m quite looking forward for more time travel stories.

Another great installment. Well written, interesting history and sci fi.
Time travel is happening in present day at St. Sunniva University. Julia Olsen has just arrived back from a harrowing trip back in time with a young girl from that time. Her soon-to-be ex calls asking her to take him back in time to find out if a story passed down in his family was true. A story about a Runestone. Long story short, he and a postdoc student take a trip without permission and a group has to go find them. Great and interesting adventures await them.

I won this book in a giveaway hosted by Goodreads.
The viking history in the U.S. has always fascinated me especially considering all through school we were miseducated into thinking that Christopher Columbus was the one who discovered America. Not much is said about the Vikings who found America before he did. If I could go back in time to revisit that part of history, I would definitely be up for the challenge. Neve Maslakovic did a fantastic job capturing my attention!

Time travel and mystery
This is the 2nd book in a series , but the author does well at bringing the reader up to speed. The reader is along for a story that involves an ex spouse using blackmail to try to get a turn in the time travel machine, a missing person, and history that has long been disputed and begs for proof either way.

I really like this author. The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars is that I liked Regarding Ducks and Universes and the Far Time Incident better. I look forward to the next book in the series.
October 27, 2014
I almost rated this a two, as I really wanted more specifics regarding the history of the area. Instead there was a lot of present time issues before the jump. Sorry, but if there's a time machine, it ought be used.
May 6, 2015
I am pleased that my procrastination in reading the 2nd book has seen the release of the third! No waiting! Didn't like this one as much as I liked the first but... oh well? Too much brooding over Nate, that's for sure.
