Summary: Great conclusion to a great trilogy
Review: Chloe and Cheftu are transported from the fabled, sinking Atlantis to the early days of King David of the Hebrews. Separated, they must find each other again. Forced into slavery, Chloe and Cheftu earn respect and eventually their freedom. They join the Hebrews in their forging of a new nation in this exciting book of time travel and history. A very apt conclusion to a very exciting trilogy.

Summary: Another Great book!
Review: First, I must say that although I love this series and can read it over and over again (rare for me)...I've found that I believe the Reflections is the best of these three, with Agean being second. The wonderful thing about Frank's writing is she takes us back to these ancient times and paints such a vivid picture of life with rich details and characters. You really feel like you're living in Ancient Egypt or Atlantis! This is what writing is meant to be like and what sets Frank apart from all the others.

While reading Med., I found the picture just wasn't as complete as the first two. I loved the plot and the story was fascinating, but I just didn't feel like the details were there. In the first half, the story jumped around between three settings, so you never got to really sink into any one of them. A whole story could have been written about Akhnaten (what happened to Nefriti??) and Tuti, but I feel like Frank rushed through this part of the novel. Then, when we finally settled in Jerusalem, there wasn't enough time left in the book to really feel drawn in. It had the potential to be great, I could feel that. But I feel this one wasn't as developed as the others. In Reflections, the exodus and plagues of Egypt were detailed and involved all five senses so the reader really felt like they were living up to and through it all with Chloe and Cheftu. The story of Jerusalem and David was just as exciting, but there was so much that could have been expounded on and filled in. In the end, a story with great potential packed into too little space and rushed through. Because I know how Frank's books CAN be...this one almost left me feeling cheated.

Summary: Judaism 101
Review: I couldn't wait for the 3rd installment of Suzanne Franks' series based on time travel and our heroine, Chloe Kingsley. Ms. Franks' wit is up to par with the other two books. I realized that I was trying to remember my bible and comparing the story of David with what I had read. I am glad that this time, Chloe and Cheftu had a more "normal" married life together. But I do want them to go on other adventures together in other time periods. How about the French Revolution? The possibilities are endless, as I am sure Ms Frank realizes what an audience she has captured. Please..may we have more?

Summary: Fantastic!!!
Review: I couldn't wait for the third book in Frank's series to come out as each one seemed better than the last. This one is no exception! 'Sunrise' ties up all the loose ends from the previous novels, clearing up issues I had not understood before. And finally (!) Chloe and Cheftu get through a whole book without questioning each other's love! They are the ultimate love match, destined to be togeter throughout time. The end is left open so Ms. Frank, can we hope for a book 4? Wonderfully researched, I felt like I was there. A great, original take on the characters we think we know so well, from the Bible. Stayed up reading till my eyes were crossing from fatigue, at 5am, but I could not put it down. Please, please give us a sequel. I love these people. Maybe they could go to the New World next? The Aztecs or Incas? Great story.

Summary: Time Tunnel chapter 2525
Review: If you are old enough to remember the TV show The Time Tunnel you will agree with me that this book is just one chapter of that program.

Summary: Filled with love, adventure, suspense
Review: Ms. Frank's third installment of this trilogy is lacking in comparison to its counterparts Shadows on the Nile and Reflections of the Aegean. Sunrise on the Mediterranean is a very fast read, quite thin and way too predictable. I feel read the book more to discover the conclusion of the triology than for the story contained within the book itself. I expected more, I suppose, and I found myself disappointed.

Summary: Suzanne Frank - High Priestess of Time Travel!
Review: She's done it again! After reading REFLECTIONS IN THE NILE and SHADOWS ON THE AEGEAN, I was hopeful that this third installment in the Chloe/Cheftu chronicles would meet my expectations; it far exceeded them. Ms. Frank has a rare gift for creating compelling stories and vivid characters that she weaves -seemingly effortlessly - into historically accurate settings. It's like taking a walk through ancient times in the shoes of modern (wo)man. This story, set in the time of King David, offers readers a little bit of everthing: action, adventure, romance, mystery ... The only question is, how long do we have to wait for the NEXT one?
