Blog Tour: A Remedy in Time by Jennifer Macaire (with giveaway!)

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 . . .

Review

In the future, time travel is a tool of academia - expensive, but not impossible. With the world threatened by a viral strain of typhus with a 100% fatality rate, self-diagnosed sociopath Robin is sent back in time to gather samples that might kickstart the hunt for a vaccine. Unfortunately, corporate greed is timeless and Robin must survive the past to save the future.

Robin is such an interesting heroine. She's very unemotional in part due to a traumatic past that I'd perhaps have liked a bit more on. This distance stands her in good stead through the book but it's also a delight to see her open up as she admires the wonders of the past.

This was a fascinating blend of wilderness survival novel and a techno-thriller. In fact, there's a bit of everything which is making this review rather difficult to write despite being such an enjoyable book. There's Robin's somewhat uncomfortable and mysterious past, her complicated relationship with her boss's son, her friendship with a local caveman, her exploration of the past, and the time travel retrieval team with suspicious motivations. I can't categorise this book, I can only recommend it.
