When an F-22 Raptor fighter pilot in 2016 is on a routine training mission with three other Raptors, he suddenly finds himself slammed by an unknown energy cloud and alone in the sky. All attempts at communication prove futile. When his plane’s main computer begins to malfunction, he must land. And when he does, he discovers that he has been transported to a different place and time – an English Royal Flying Corps airfield in 1916. It is wartime and the shattering paradox of a massive 21st century fighter next to tiny WWI biplanes is the least of his problems. He has to keep his presence secret from the enemies and find a way home. However, an unexpected love comes when he meets the lovely Evangeline.

Cherries in Winter by Jeffrey G. Roberts is a romantic time travelling novella that takes place between the present day in Great Falls, Montana, and the past, WWI in 1916 southern England. Roberts’ Cherries in Winter is based on real documented ‘time slips,’ particularly one that I’ve read before where two British women in 1901 walked straight into the gardens of the Palace of Versailles in the 18th century, and then found themselves minutes later back in 1901. To be frank, it makes me interested to read about this type of subject matter again. The short chapters make the plot move at a swift pace. The narration is straightforward and clean, and protagonists Captain Drew Mitchell and Evangeline Sunderland are easy to root for. All in all, this is a good read.
