A Remedy in Time
Jennifer Macaire
“Your favorite new timeslip story, from the author of the cult classic TIME FOR ALEXANDER series”
To save the future, she must turn to the past . . .
San Francisco, Year 3377. A deadly virus has taken the world by storm. Scientists are desperately working to develop a vaccine. And Robin Johnson – genius, high-functioning, and perhaps a little bit single-minded – is delighted. Because, to cure the disease, she’s given the chance to travel back in time.
But when Robin arrives at the last Ice Age hoping to stop the virus at its source, she finds more there than she bargained for. And just as her own chilly exterior is beginning to thaw, she realises it’s not only sabre-toothed tigers that are in danger of extinction . . .

JENA’S REVIEW
A Remedy In Time by Jennifer Macaire
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Would you like to travel back in time to the Pleistocene era? The Pleistocene is the geological epoch that lasted from about 2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago. Homo sapiens evolved during this era. We now live in the epoch that followed- the Holocene epoch, known as The Age of Man. And yes, I would love to travel back to the days of great woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers.
Thanks to one of my favorite authors, Jennifer Macaire, I can enjoy a vivid visit to the meadows, rivers and forests of that time. A Remedy in Time is the fascinating story of young scientist Robin Johnson. The year is 3377 and Robin is a researcher at Tempus University, the scientific center of time travel which has featured in most of the author’s historical time travel books. She must go back in time about 12,000 years to solve the mystery of a new typhus virus that is 100% deadly and is threatening the current world.
Once she has been transported back in time, Robin realizes that the rest of the team is involved in a sinister plot and they want to murder her. The mystery part of the story is exciting, but the best part is all the details about the flora and fauna that the author describes so well. Robin even meets a caveman and they form a bond. The book ends with a twist that I loved, and I hope that this ending means that more books in the series will follow.
I have read all of the author’s previous historical time travel books and I have found them all to contain well-developed and fascinating characters, along with complex settings and worlds. I did not feel that the author’s usual literary style of writing was present in this book, however I eagerly read it all.
Thanks to Rachel’s Random resources for the opportunity to read an advance digital review copy of this book. This is my honest review.
