This book was a much better part of the series than some of the earlier ones. Although a bit weird, the premise is about time, and how one vampire seems to go back and forth through it. Every once in a while, someone else seems to get sucked in, too. Set totally at the Grand Canyon, it’s an interesting and quick read. It held my attention quite well, and I kept going back to it until it was over.
It was OK, not as good as some of the others in the series. We've jumped forward in time from the mid-1970's to 1991. Saberhagen came up with a nifty gimmick for this one. I felt a little too much was left as a mystery, though - maybe not described or wrapped up in detail well enough. There were several situations that were resolved, but they were mentioned as done deals without really describing them after we'd spent a lot of time working through them. Disappointing. Still, it was a good read.
What kind of ending was that??? Jeesh!
