Quantum Leap: Knights

A fun read with the return of the evil Leaper, Alia. Rawn has a nice grasp of the characters from the series and crafts a story that will entertain not only Leap fans but members of the Society for Creative Anachronism of which the story is set around.

An excellent story with plot twists worthy of Dr. Beckett.

Sam's a leaping again and this time he's a knight in shining armor! Wait a minute Sam can only leap during his lifetime, right? True and this leap has Sam right in the middle of a medieval festival and there's a catch - the evil leaper returns.Sam has to somehow reconcile with the person he believes has stolen his novel and at the same time fall in love with the woman who is going to publish the book. And of that's not bad enough Alia, the evil leaper is back to cause chaos and try to kill Sam in the process.The book is a little slow at the beginning, but after a few pages the action picks right up and I was captured till the end, which was just over three hours later. I have enjoyed another exciting leap book, Mirror's Edge being the first, as much as I enjoyed the series on TV.The storyline keeps moving from beginning to end, both at Sam's level and at Al's. While this book probably wouldn't make a good movie, it does make great reading. The true Quantum Leap fan will certainly enjoy it and at a price that sure to make them smile.

"Knights of the Morningstar" tells the story of another leap where Sam runs into the "Evil Leaper," Alia, in between the two encounters shown in the series. The story between them makes for a nice interlude between those episodes, but for me, the best part of the book was the reappearance of Donna, Sam's wife. This was the first of the Quantum Leap books to use her as a character, and considering that we only got to see the adult Donna once on the show, the opportunity to see her was a welcome one. The revealing of her emotions while she waits for her husband to return made this a very moving story. A must-read for all Leapers.

This was a great book. Not only does the evil leaper show up again, but we get to see more of Sam's wife back in the future, and how she is handling his leaping.
