Overview

A long history of strange disappearances and unexplainable occurrences leave clues that the town of Fawlt Line may actually sit on a time fault---a portal to alternate times and unexpected time travels---a twist of fate that puts all of Fawlt Line's citizens in serious danger. Will they find the faith to hold on to the town and time where they belong?
On a foggy night, Jeff and Elizabeth see a car heading through the mist. A man on horseback is in the middle of the road, and a collision was barely avoidable. Now the victim---a giant of a man---lies on a hospital bed, surrounded by hospital staff and a host of questions.
Has King Arthur really slipped through a time crack into Fawlt Line?
Impossible? Perhaps. But lately in the town of Fawlt Line, the impossible has had a way of proving true. And the most incredible events are yet to come.

Editorial Reviews

VOYA
In Ripple Effect, the first book of the Time Thriller Trilogy, typical teenager Elizabeth wants to run away from home to escape life in small town Fawlt Line. She gets her wish when she enters a parallel world where everyone calls her Sarah. Everything in this alternate world is both familiar yet quite different. In her own world, the police suspect her friend Jeff of causing her disappearance, but Jeff's guardian, Malcolm, believes something far more mysterious is going on. He knows that strange things have always happened in Fawlt Line. Elizabeth must figure out whom to trust and what happened to Sarah the night they switched places while Jeff and Malcolm try and find a way into the other world to save her. The sequel, Out of Time, finds Elizabeth, Malcolm, and Jeff again caught up in strange occurrences when King Arthur suddenly arrives in Fawlt Line. Everyone must work together to figure out why now, of all times, King Arthur has returned, and what he needs to do before he can go home. The first book in this series moves along quickly, with plenty of surprises to keep things interesting, although the second is noticeably slower and less complex. Strong Christian undertones are present in the first tale and become a central and somewhat preachy component in the second. Elizabeth is not the most well-rounded character, especially when compared to Jeff. Overall the series should appeal to Christian genre fans but probably not anyone else. Reviewer: Teresa Copeland
Kirkus Reviews
In the second installment of the Time Thriller trilogy, Jeff and Elizabeth are on their way to a high-school end-of-the-year party when a mysterious mist envelops their car and King Arthur comes riding out of it. Their otherwise ordinary American town of Fawlt Line lies on a mysterious time fault, and 200 years of mysterious time-related events have occurred there. However, Arthur has not quite shown up in the right place, as his legend says that he will "come back to help Britain in its greatest time of need." Skipping back and forth between Fawlt Line and England, the narrative brings Arthur and his American friends together with the wise recluse Myrddin and an English priest struggling with his faith. The time-travel contrivance allows McCusker to compare the loss of the glory of Camelot to the soulless 21st century and to speculate on the place of God in this world. An enjoyable time-travel romp with overt Christian content. (Christian fantasy. 10-14)

    WOW!

    Where do I start! First, I thought this book was really good for a Teen Fiction book. I like how they use King Arthur to go to the future and help England. I also really like how there is a teen named Adrian in the story and he is kinda like me, so i made a connection with the book. If i could be a character in the book i would be Adrian for sure. I like how Paul puts another language in the story like Latin to mix it up a little.

    I give it "TWO-THUMBS WAY UP!"

    King Arthur looks at today

    Jeff and Elizabeth experience another time shift at Fawlt Line but; instead of leaving the present themselves someone from another time arrives. He claims to be King Arthur and only speaks Latin. The story line is interesting and Mr. McCusker has generously explained many of the well-known and not-so-well-known legends of King Arthur and Merlin. He has delved right into the religious ideas of Arthur's time which brings quite a contrast to the present day. The England of our time through Arthur's eyes comes up short and causes the reader to do some real thinking.

    A good teen book with good historical references cast in the light of Christianity in medieval times. 4 Stars
