The final book in the thrilling Navigator trilogy.Twice the Harsh have tried to destroy time, and twice Owen and the Resisters have banded together to stop them. In City of Time, Owen killed the Harsh king, and now the Harsh are hungry for revenge. Their massive fleet is ready to set sail on the sea of time and hunt down the wily Navigator. In this third and final adventure, the Navigator and his friends use every last ounce of bravery and endurance to fight the toughest battle ever. As Owen searches for a solution, he travels through time to meet his father and grandfather, and discovers that the mysterious Frost Child holds the key to the power of the Harsh.From the Hardcover edition.Children's LiteratureThe evil Harsh seeks revenge upon Owen, the Navigator, and his friends. So begins the last installment in the Navigator trilogy. Owen has traveled previously across time in his ship, Wayfarer, to save the world, but this time he faces a battle where he is terribly out-numbered. Owen decides that he must leave on his ship to draw the Harsh away from his friends; however his friends, Cati, the brave Watcher, and Dr. Diamond, must use their meager resources to outwit the Harsh invasion as well as a possible traitor among them. Rosie, a visitor from the land of Hadima, has been brainwashed; it is uncertain whether she can be trusted or not. As Owen travels he soon learns a way to defeat the Harsh with some unexpected help from his deceased grandfather and father. This episode in Owen's story stands well on its own as a grand, slightly unbelievable adventure fantasy. The events move along at a brisk pace which makes up for any gaps in plausibility. A wide range of young adult readers can appreciate the story's strong male and female characters. McNamee does a nice job of maintaining suspense, and the intermittent illustrations of Goodell carry out the icy, eerie setting. Reviewer: Elizabeth Fronk
