Rachel Blackstone #3
Atomic Medium
Alternate Cover Edition for ASIN: B00YQA28P0
"We're three women from two different centuries, trying to save the world from oblivion. I don't know about you, but that's way above my pay grade."
A time warp has opened in a popular Santa Fe retail store. The building housing the shop was the main office of The Manhattan Project during its development in the 1940s. Only one person has witnessed the departure of two dangerous men through the doorway to the past--reporter Rachel Blackstone. Although she is certain they are evil she has no idea how they left 2015 or where they landed on the other side, only that she saw them do it. But the office on the other side is certainly a very different place than the showroom with the neatly arranged inventory of gifts and Native American art. When she uncovers the mystery of the room, threats are made and people die. It becomes apparent at least one man is an alien force wearing a Nazi uniform--and intent on changing the balance of nuclear weapons in the world. Rachel and friend Chloe time travel to a world of subterfuge, secrets and danger. If they can't stop the two men intent on sabotage, history will be changed. For Rachel and Chloe, it's no small task: just save the world.
From award-winning writer G G Collins.

About the author
G.G. Collins
12 books75 followersStay up late reading mysteries by GG Collins, finalist in the New Mexico Book Awards, reviewed by Publisher’s Weekly and added to the reading list at the Strand Magazine.
Collins enjoys the Southwest with a special interest in the Native tribes of the Four Corners. Their ways and beliefs add depth and color to her stories, as does the landscapes of the Land of Enchantment. When asked where she gets her ideas she says, “Everywhere!” But just so you know, she watches "Terror in the Woods," "Medium" reruns and was a fan of "Supernatural."
Collins writes two mystery series including Rachel Blackstone Paranormal Mysteries and the Taylor Browning Cozy Mysteries. Rachel walks a beat in Santa Fe, New Mexico reporting stories of the quick. Off hours, she solves supernatural mysteries that take her to uncanny places and times. She is the "Reluctant Medium" with the new age friend, a white spirit wolf and a psychic cat called Chile Pod, named after the New Mexico chile.
Taylor Browning is the mystery editor at a small publishing house in Santa Fe. The problem is, she can’t seem to stay in the office, preferring to solve mysteries that frequently entangle her job with murder. Her two cats, Oscar and Cheddar, can be helpful in mysterious ways. Oscar has an artistic temperament and is known to savage paper towels while Cheddar has the brave heart.
She lives with a man and four psychic cats.

This is the third Rachel Blackstone book I've read by G.G. Collins and they keep getting more exciting. This one was quite scary and fascinating. I learned a lot about the era of the atomic bomb and what went into it that I hadn't known. I continue to enjoy the shenanigans of Rachel who just wants to live a normal life but because she has a 'gift' continues being put in these desperate situations not even knowing what she's doing, only wanting to help so others are not hurt or killed.
