A candidate for the directorship of the Dallas Museum of History, Mackenzie Cates is reunited with her former flame, sexy archaeologist Rick Mason, as the pair travels back in time to Pompeii before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius to save the world and the lives of two doomed lovers from the past. Original.
Good read. Distant future time travelers are trying to save the future by fixing the past. The hero [an archaeologist:] and heroine [a museum director:] are modern era people enrolled in the project because of their specialized knowledge... The time traveler and an intern at the museum are part of the project [and the hero/heroine of the next book:] which requires a trip to Pompeii on the day the volcano erupts. The book has good action, interesting characters, and believable premises. Order is not extremely important - I read the second one first and it wasn't a real problem.
