Prelude by Ashley McConnell
3.0
This is not a book review, this is a book demand. If you are a fan of the Quantum Leap television series then you must read this. Do not be confused, Prelude is the 4th book in the multi-author QL series, but whatever. I make no claims against the others, but i bet they are decent or there wouldn't be so many of them.. Or perhaps they are "Crappy Good". I won't bother with a full review, but I do feel that a reblurb of the novel summary is warranted ;)
New Synopsis:
You know how it ends, socially awkward Beckett steps into the Quantum Leap system and his consciousness is transported haphazardly to the past. He cannot remember anything and travels time perpetually looking for a way to get back home.
This gives you the back story, the politics, the subterfuge and grandstanding. This pieces together a firm picture of what happened before, and who Beckett was before losing his memory and becoming the worldly man he is now. Wanted to know about how Ziggy works, how he got his name? Why DOES Al wear all those horrendously terrible clothes?
Just read the book already.. The fact that you are even looking at it means you deserve to treat yourself to it. You picked this up, now go pay the average $1.99 used paperback price and geek out. it's only a buck ninety-nine.. Heck, you might even be the lucky person who got the tattered $.99 cent copy!
Super fans pay attention to the foreword and ignore the minor inconsistencies
----------
Publisher description:
An all-new Quantum Leap adventure, based on the smash hit TV series, gives readers the "beginning" of the story. Dr. Sam Beckett and Admiral Al Calavicci begin an experiment called Project Quantum Leap and discover the secret of time travel via computer. But someone wants to sabotage Quantum Leap before it starts.
