Publisher's Summary:

Every story has a beginning and an end. What lies between these two points is the journey. Crossing the Rubicon is the story of seven remarkable teens as they survive the unbelievable. What started out as a simple weekend trip exploring the Chungo caves, became a journey which took them back 275 years in time, had them cross multiple continents, and stretched them to their limits.

Discover how they survived with just the clothes on their backs, some limited technology, and their wits and resolve. In a world without computers, without the basic items we use each day, could you survive? Follow Trinity, Jacob, Keara, Tom, Kim, Andy, and Robert as they step across the Rubicon, never to return. Live with them through their story of adventure, courage, love, and honor. Taking you from the mountains of Canada to New Spain, Europe, and South Africa, Crossing the Rubicon is a powerful story of survival, based on historic fact. They lived life like no others and experienced more in three years, than most people would experience in 10 lifetimes. Come cross the Rubicon and share their journey!

enjoyable time travel story with an easter egg

This was a good relaxation read that kept me eagerly turning the pages on my Kindle at times. It had a dash of religion but was not so strong as to overwhelm the story. It was enjoyable watching the group come to grips with the fact that they had traveled back in time and watching how they adjusted. I did feel that at times things came too easily to them to be realistic (such as rich families taking them in at times and giving them a fair amount of money to help them on their way) but they also had to deal with some very rough times that helped them grow.

Eventually they do find out how far in the past they have gone (not going to indicate it here as not knowing "when" they are for awhile is part of the story's intrigue). Learning the date increased my enjoyment of the historical aspects of the story as they visited various places in their search for a place they could eventually call home.

There were a few parts of the story that I felt were rather contrived but overall, I definitely enjoyed the book.

Hint: Make sure you read the entire story as the authors have included an "easter egg" for those who do. :)

I would pay for this!

I almost never buy books. I read too much to be able to afford it. With that being said - BUY THIS BOOK!!!! Don't wait around for it to roll around on the freebie list again. It's too good for that!

Crossing the Rubicon (The Journey) is unlike anything else in the genre I have ever read. It's thought provoking. It's heartwarming. It keeps you enthralled (I read it straight through - not a lot of sleep for me that night). The author finds ways to incorporate history with modern technology in seamless ways, without raising the suspicion of the historical characters.

Could this time shift truly happen? I don't know that we will ever know, but the author certainly makes a good argument for it. And, if it ever happens, I truly hope that there is a Trinity in the mix :)

This Book Is A Must Read!!!

Review:

As heartbreaking as it is uplifting Crossing The Rubicon is a book everyone should read at least once. This book was narrated beautifully. I felt as if I was granted a rare glimpse into a diary that was never meant to be shared.
