Review
Praise for Nick of Time
“Nick of Time is a blast---the best of Robert Louis Stevenson, Horatio Hornblower, and Harry Potter. The kid in me loved it, and so did the adult.”
---James Patterson, New York Times bestselling author of the Maximum Ride series
“A brilliant adventure, hidden within a rolling saga, tucked inside an intriguing mystery. That's Nick of Time. Ted Bell proves that he's the master of swashbuckling for both young and old.”
---Steve Berry, author of The Venetian Betrayal
“Wow! Some books sweep you away. NICK OF TIME amazed me, dazzled me, and swept my imagination off to sea.... I've been craving an adventure story with a good mystery and this arrived in the nick of time to rescue me.”
---Diane Chen, School Library Journal.com
“Nick of Time reminded me of Brian Jacques, one of my favorite authors. Everything clicks together perfectly. . . . I really like the era and technology of WWII, especially the ‘secret weapons’ . . . the whole pirate thing really appeals to me. . . . The time travel idea is cool, and what’s even better is that da Vinci created it!”
---Henry Willshire (13 years old)
Product Description
In the grand tradition of epic novels like Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island comes a wondrous tale of time travel, adventure, and riches, in which twelve-year-old Nick McIver sets out to become “the hero of his own life.”
The setting is England, 1939, on the eve of war. Nick and his younger sister, Kate, live in a lighthouse on the smallest of the Channel Islands. Nick and Kate come to the aid of their father who is engaged in a desperate war of espionage with German U-boat wolf packs that are circling the islands. The information they provide to Winston Churchill is vital as he tries to warn England of the imminent Nazi invasion.
One day Nick discovers an old sea chest, left for him by his ancestor, Captain Nicholas McIver of the Royal Navy. Inside, he finds a time machine and a desperate plea for help from the captain. He uses the machine to return to the year 1805. Captain McIver and, indeed, Admiral Nelson’s entire fleet are threatened by the treachery of the French and the mutinous Captain Billy Blood. Nick must reach deep inside, using his wits, courage, and daring to rescue the imperiled British sailors.
His sister, Kate, meanwhile, has enlisted the aid of two of England’s most brilliant “scientific detectives,” Lord Hawke and Commander Hobbes, to thwart the invading Nazis. She and Nick must face England’s underwater enemies, a challenge made all the more difficult when they discover the existence of Germany’s supersecret submarine.
In this striking adventure for readers of all ages, Nick must fight ruthless enemies across two different centuries, on land and sea, to help defeat those determined to destroy his home and his family.
What's an "ARC"?
An advance copy, also known as an advance reading copy or ARC, is a copy of a book released by its publisher before the book has gone to press for a complete printing. ARCs generally do not have the final dust jacket, formatting or binding of the finished product; the text of an ARC may also differ from that of the published book if the book is edited after the ARC is produced. ARCs are normally distributed to reviewers, bookstores, magazines, and (in some cases) libraries between three and six months before the book is officially released.
 Payment is due within five (5) days of winning bid. I accept PayPal and Money Orders.
If you're unsure of the ways of PayPal, let me know. I'll gently aid you through the process, much like a Psychopomp traveling to the Underworld.
Shipping is calculated by weight and distance. I do try to be conservative and certainly do not attempt to make money on shipping. A deplorable practice, don't you agree?
I take great care not to misrepresent my items. Returns will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
If you have zero or negative feedback, please do contact me before bidding. If I don't hear from you, I'm afraid I'll have to remove your bid. Yes. I can do that. EBay has bestowed these godlike powers upon me. They are both a blessing and a curse.
Everything I send you comes from a smoke-free home. I quit smoking, just for you!
I'm a nice girl in her 20's trying to earn her way in this workaday world of ours. Most of the money I earn on eBay goes towards my rent, which is expensive since I live in a rural area full of rich artists and doctors.
Que sera, sera.
