A wish list book birthday present from my daughter. This is the only Quantum Leap tie-in novel I haven't read (as far as I can determine, anyway). I'm looking forward to reading this story.

I was a fan of the "Quantum Leap" television series when it originally aired, and when I saw the tie-in novels, I read them as fast as I could find them. However, I somehow never got my hands on this one, until now. As far as I can tell, this is the only book from the series that I hadn't read, and that was a shame, because I think this is actually my favorite.

This book is the back story for the entire Quantum Leap storyline. Unlike the TV show and the other books, this isn't about the lives that Sam is jumping into and trying to fix. While there are hints that Sam is jumping into this story, we never see events from that perspective. Instead, we focus on Sam and Al as they put build the Quantum Leap project and put together the team that we have come to know from the show and other books. Along the way, they have to convince their Federal Government sponsors that the investment of tax dollars is worth the risk, and to keep the penny-pinchers from shutting them down. But the budget wary aren't the only threat, and those who want to see Sam fail are willing to go to any length to make that failure happen.

This book tied up some loose ends from the rest of the stories, giving us the origins of the project, and possibly explaining what went wrong and why Sam isn't in control of his travels. It was a thoroughly enjoyable return to the world of Quantum Leap.

Passing along to katekintail at today's BC-in-DC meeting.
