From the author of THE LANE BETRAYAL, THE FAIR, and SEA SPRAY comes the fourth novel in the Time Box saga.

Months after stealing two time machines, the Lanes, a modern family of seven, make a stand against the unhinged software mogul who wants them back. They travel to 1941 Oahu to eliminate the billionaire's mercenary, an assassin who has chased them through time.

While son Jordan, a former intelligence officer, stalks his unknowing foe in the streets of Honolulu, his parents, younger siblings, and pregnant wife settle in the village of Laie, where love, friendship, and opportunity await. All seek refuge from the perils of time travel.

Hit man Silas Bain has his own agenda. He hopes to alter the events of December 7, 1941, and indirectly save a brilliant German physicist, his employer's grandfather, from certain death. He has prepared for every contingency, except the charms of a beautiful heiress.

Filled with romance, suspense, and intrigue, THE REFUGE takes readers on a thrilling and memorable ride through the colorful, magical, and dangerous world of pre-Pearl Harbor Hawaii.

The Refuge by John A. Heldt is a fantastic narrative about the Lanes surviving through World War II in Hawaii.

Will the Lanes find safety from Silas Bain in 1941?

The Lanes

The Lanes are in 1941 Hawaii before the start of World War II to stop Silas Bain from causing more problems. At least, that is Jordan’s mission while becoming a father. The others are going to lay low so that they won’t cause any problems for Jordan. Each of the Lane family is having fun in Hawaii.

The Lanes are a fantastic family. I like to see their numbers grow even though they don’t mean to take people from their time to be with them. I especially like Ashley as she’s becoming a teenager and is coming into her own. She is growing so much more than what we saw in the first book. Each Lane is changing, be it for the better or worse, on certain things is questionable.

Hopefully, a lot of things get better for them.

The Story

Robert Devereaux is still after the Lane family and the two Time Boxes they stole. Instead of focusing on them, he wants to focus on when America entered World War II to help his grandfather get to safety. Except who knows if Silas Bain could deliver on that. I was beginning to change my feelings on Mr. Bain before proving me correct on my first impression. Of course, the Lanes are in Hawaii to stop Bain from doing what Robert needs him to do. Randy Taylor is still trying to gather enough evidence to take down Robert and bring his friends home.

Now the question is will anyone succeed in their quests?

Five Stars

The Refuge by John A. Heldt is the fourth book in the Time Box Series, and we will have one more left to read. It’s bittersweet to know that the series is almost complete, but I also want to know how much the Lane’s can do to stop Robert Devereaux from forming his evil plans. Mr. Heldt has done a perfect job of keeping me guessing throughout the entire storyline. I’m giving five stars to The Refuge by John A. Heldt and recommending it to anyone that likes to read books with fictional history, science fiction, and a touch of romance.
