No Way Home is a sci-fi novel about a woman who accompanies cyber-criminals to an exile in a previous time period, usually returning to the year 2070 immediately afterward. However, on one such mission, a problem occurs, leaving her trapped in 1867 Oklahoma. Other adventures and challenges follow, including a trip farther back in time, which ultimately lead to a choice between proceeding with a risky operation or returning home.
The author has created a fast-paced adventure novel with believable and relatable characters, along with excellent descriptions of the settings. She has done an outstanding job of researching the different time periods and locations and used this skill to draw the reader solidly into the story. My one point of disbelief is in the use of cell phones and emails fifty years from now. The changes in technology over the last fifty years makes me think we will be somewhere else in 2070. That being said, time travel remains a popular concept, and Ms. Cooper-Burnett has certainly done it justice.
Sublime Line: “An action-packed time-travel adventure that will leave you thirsting for the sequel.”
