Time Travelers Inc.

Portrait of Lydia

Midwest Book Review said:

"Portrait of Lydia" by Hollie Van Horne is a simply enthralling novel of time travel being used (or abused) for a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. Or perhaps an end-of-a-lifetime vacation, when the time traveler's dreams of dominating the ancient Roman Empire of 200 A.D. all turn sour and a woman named Lydia of the house of Marcus Flavius Antonious holds his fate in her slender hands. An exciting and adventurous saga. "Portrait of Lydia" is confidently recommended to the dedicated science fiction enthusiasts in general, and time-travel buffs in particular.

Amazing journey for all
I have read all of Ms. Van Horne's books and this is absolutely one of the best. Ms. Van Horne makes her characters seem so real, you feel like they are someone you have already met. When I first started reading, I wanted Grant to be punished for being such a jerk! Watching him live through his ordeal though, I ended up on his side and cheering for him throughout the book. Ms. Van Horne has done a fabulous job with the historical accuracy of this time travel book. Forget "Gladiator" (well, ok, just watch it to see the amazing actors!) and pick up this book for a more realistic view of a gladiator's world. Amazing....please keep them coming Ms. Van Horne!!

Hollie does it again!
From the first of the series to the latest, couldn't put these books down. What a wonderful blend and continuity of characters and stories. Makes you feel it is all real.
Picture this. A Bill Gates sort of businessman, time travels to Ancient Rome and ends up a gladiator/slave.
Action, love, history, all rolled into one. Couldn't put it down.
recommend starting with Time Travelers #1 and reading them all in a row. Can't wait until #7, finally gets published.

Amazing Adventure!
This book takes us on a journey with an annoying business-man named Grant. He knows what he wants and he will get it no matter what. Once you move along with him, you see him learn to swallow his pride and learn how to be human. By the end of this novel, you will fall in love with Grant and wish him only the best in life. Such a fantastic journey. You will learn about the life of a Gladiator. Watch the movie "Gladiator" for the gorgeous actors, but read this book for the daily, human aspect of what being a gladiator really was. It's a heart-renching tale of love, betrayal, and hope.
