Proximity

Back to Normal #3

by Randy McWilson

Proximity, Book Three of the Back to Normal Series, the tragic and thrilling sequel to Tradecraft.

Since Denver Wayne Collins’ involuntary time jump back to 1956, he has been hunted by local and federal law enforcement, shot, jailed, electrocuted, bludgeoned, and sentenced to three years in prison. But the Army Special Forces veteran is about to encounter his deadliest mission yet…an assignment that will seal the fate of every Jumper in Normal. Their desperation propels Denver on a tragic quest deep within enemy territory…

Area 51.

While several states away, Doc Stonecroft’s dark secret jeopardizes the Fourth Accord, and threatens to tear the group, and even time itself, apart at the seams. Will anyone survive the murderous onslaught now that a Soviet assassin and a relentless newspaper editor have located the defenseless group? Time can be cheated, but not death itself, as the Jumpers discover in Proximity, the tragic sequel to Tradecraft.

Have to wait to finish this story, damn it! last one isn't out yet! Why I really don't like serials!
this is a really good story concept, but waiting for the last book for the end of the story gripes me!
by that time I might not care any more!
Sorry, but when I read a story I want a beginning, engaging middle & knock your socks off ending ALL at the same time!
If I didn't have to wait for the ending I'd probably give 5 stars for this story!!!
Never got into soaps, daytime or nighttime. (Dallas comes to mind)

Sustained Interest

Complicated, intriguing, superbly-crafted, this series delivers on so many facets of time-travel fiction. Looking forward to the 4th book in this series.

McWilson's third book in the Back to Normal series is no disappointment. In fact, I feel this book is even more thrilling than the first two, Paradigm Rift and Tradecraft.

Proximity picks up where TradeCraft left us and leads us along with Denver Wayne Collins on a thrilling mission to Area 51. Back in Normal, Illinois, the group of jumpers work to prevent a breach of the Fourth Accord. On top of that, a Soviet assassin seems to have an agenda of her own.

McWilson has done an excellent job penning a work of science fiction that does not distress those who do not call themselves sci-fi fans. While time-travel is the basis of the book and the time travelers work desperately to enable the Jump Portal, the well-developed plot line, history, suspense, and surprises make this a book for all genre lovers.

This is book three in the Back to Normal series and takes place in my hometown of Normal Illinois. Not wanting to give spoilers, the series follows a group of time travelers who are trying to figure out how and why they end up jumping from the future to 1950s Normal Illinois. None of them have a connection to each other previously and to the town of Normal so why do they continue to show up here and how will they ever get home? Lot's of twist and turns throughout the series that will having you wondering who is who and what is going on exactly.

What a wonderful series that has several appealing traits...It is a great science fiction series that evolves around the town I live in. Additionally it has mystery, and suspense that keeps me turning the pages and is very hard to put down. There are many sub plots that ultimately tie together which keep the reader engaged. I just wish there was an audible version. A must read!
