When Adam was mentioned in the first book in the series, I knew he’d pop back up at some point, but as is always the case in something like this, it’s how the story is executed that matters. This one was great, with plenty of twists to keep us engaged. A couple of things get rushed in the climax, but that is minor. Meanwhile, we get a couple of strong sub-plots that weave in and out of the mystery perfectly. The characters are strong, even if over-the-top at times. Mia and Shane keep things grounded for us, and we get plenty of laughs along the way. Sadly, this is the final book in the series, but the author wraps things up well. We even get another four delicious sounding recipes at the end. Fans will be happy with how this book ends the series. If you’ve missed reading these, don’t hesitate to pick up this delightful series.

And then the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
Which - aside from the obvious! - is a pity where this was concerned: I do feel that it would have had more of an impact, more of a presence, on the big screen than on the small.
The plot is a take on the usual timey-wimey (to steal a phrase from the BBCs Doctor Who) type of stuff, where visitors from the future (IIRC, about 30 years or so) arrive in the present to recruit their ancestors to fight in an ongoing war against alien 'White Spikes' invaders: a war which humanity is currently losing.
The film then follows Chris Pratt's ex-military (natch) character Dan Forester, who ends up being one of those drafted to fight in the future: I say drafted, as the tour of duty is only meant to be about 7 days long, but most don't make it back or come back horribly (and psychologically) scarred, so - not surprising - most people try to avoid having to go!
Yes, if you think about it too much your head will probably hurt from all the paradoxes involved ...
Yes, it's enjoyable
