"Within the first suspenseful pages, readers will find an engaging historical/science fiction tale that has intrigue, danger, and a little romance. . . . From an explosive escape out of captivity to a muchanticipated scene that decides the fate of World War I, the end of the book has plenty of action." —SCHOOL LUBRARY JOURNAL

Their problem: Can they survive? Join Jack on a dangerous chase from the dockyards of England to the rain-sodden trenches of the First World War. Will he escape the evil authorities who believe in the mysterious VIGIL Imperative?
VOYA
Day of the Assassins pulls off what not that many books can: it's a SF thriller that has a riveting story line. Not focusing too much on the technology aspect of the genre, it mainly stays within pre-WWI Europe. It follows the story of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand with a twist: present-day technology now allows you to travel back in time and change the outcome of history. Will Jack, who was blasted into the past by the time traveling machine Taurus, choose to try to stop the assassination, altering a large chunk of the twenty-first century? I wondered what Jack would do and couldn't put it down. Reviewer: Jon Poilpre, Teen Reviewer
