Why read it?
1 author picked Riley's Journey as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It’s back to the future in Riley’s Journey.
A young woman volunteers for a “research project” unaware she’ll be taking a one-way trip into past—40,000 years. She’s sent to provide companionship for Nathan, a modern man also trapped in the past.
The descriptions of primitive Earth and its dangers were so realistically portrayed the book put me right there with the Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon. I sympathized with Riley’s shock and betrayal and with Nathan’s crushing loneliness and despair.
I’ve recommended this book over and over again.
From Cara's list on sci-fi romances that you won’t be able to forget.
