A journey through time—back to Boston!

1462: an alien who feasts on the suffering of sentient beings dines off the agonies of Vlad the Impaler's twenty-thousand victims near Targoviste, Romania.

1688: a woman is framed for witchcraft and hanged by the neck in Boston.

1965: a toy store that never seems to run out of special toys is suspected of being the location of a temporal portal, the same one used by the agony-feeding alien.

2022: a grandfather, showing his young grandchildren what remains of the Boston of his youth, is shown that portal by his granddaughters.

And they're off! Off through the gate that grants wishes, off to deal with time travel, off to break and enter, off to endure the pain of seeing afresh loved ones long since departed in their own time. They're off to deal with hardened, murderous criminals and with equally murderous aliens.

All of that is set around the time of Christmas joy, in fine old hotels, with presents, fresh loves, Handel's Messiah, a department store's enchanted village, old delicacies, modern weapons, lasers... and a very special calico cat.

Sci-Fi story for people who like guns, Catholicism, nostalgia, and wish fulfillment. A fun ride.

No dislikes! it was great all around fun to listen to. The narrative was spot on, with exception of the word mentioned above.

being a 70+ year old Bostonian, I found it very accurate to reality, (except for Tremont). Very entertaining.

nother thoroughly enjoyable yarn spun by Kratman. Lighter fare compared to some of his other tales. Here's to hoping for more in this series.

Col. Kratman has written a wonderful story. I would say it would be good for 12yo and up. He actually wrote a book with good values for the next generation.

Col. Kratman does it again

Started out OK, but kind of petered out in a jumble of plots and characters.

Too much going on
