Summary: Excellent time travel fantasy
Review: During the reign of King Robert the Bruce of Scotland, Ana de Dannon worries about freeing her mother Rhannon. Ana's stepbrother Lord Roderick holds Rhannon prisoner. He will only free her in exchange for the Golden Sword that he believes will make him ruler of the country. A desperate Ana performs an incarnation from the Book of Spells that will bring forth the legendary Irish warrior Cuchulainn.

In the current age, Seattle quarterback Kenneth MacKinnon takes a hit from a linebacker. When he awakens he finds himself holding the football near Ana and her Aunt Danu in Stirling Castle. Ana thinks she conjured up Cuchulainn to battle Roderick and liberate her mother. Though he does not consider himself a warrior, Kenneth is brave and intelligent and begins to work on the game plan to free Rhannon. As he does so, he falls in love with Ana who reciprocates his feelings. However, both expect him to return to the future as soon as he completes his mission.

THE QUEST is an entertaining time travel romantic fantasy that will provide much pleasure to readers. The story line is filled with medieval pageantry and treachery augmented by Kenneth's confusion as he wonders if he took one hit too many. Fans of fantasy and romance will fully relish Pam Binder's spellbinding tale.

Summary: a good book
Review: Well I was a bit leary about reading this book. I didn't care for the first book I read by this author but was pleasantly suprised by this one. I liked the plot line and the charactrs were well written. The discriptions of everyday life made it feel as though you were watching it happen.

This is a time-travel-historical. The heroine, Ana conjures a warrior to help save her mother. She is hoping for the legendary Irish warrior, Cuchuliann, but what she gets is a modern day man who plays footbal for a team called the Warriors. Kenneth MacKinnon, aka Mac, is suddenly taken from the middle of a game and thrown back in time to 1328. He is totally confused but quickly adapts to his new life. He soon finds himself training to do battle to be the hero that Ana needs. He also finds that he wants to be more than just a hero for Ana. he has fallen in love with her but with his future uncertain he is reluctant to make her his. She feels just as strongly for him but knowing that he must go back to his time she is afraid to let her heart feel for him.

There is action, humor, passion and love in this story. It is filled with many secondary characters that help tie it all together. I really enjoyed it and I hope her other books are as good.
