At the center of an growing mystery: a fabled Viking runestone left behind in the Minnesota woodland of ages past. In this much expected second installment of Neve Maslakovic’s period travel series, St. Sunniva University’s Julia Olsen and Nate Kirkland end up hot on the trail of a fourteenth-century artifact, a missing runic professional, and an all-too-familiar kidnapper that has used enough time travel lab’s STEWie (SpaceTimE Warper) for a joyride deep into America’s previous. Armed with only a hunch and an enthusiastic understanding of History’s guidelines, can Julia, Nate, and their teammates locate the kidnapper as well as the missing researcher prior to the unavoidable – and perilous – clash with History? A skillful mixture of secret, science, and background, The Runestone Event is a smart and fulfilling follow-up to The Far Time Event.
