Quantum Leap: Too Close

McConnell definitely has a firm grasp of both Sam and Al in her series of QL novels. In this story, she gets to play around somewat with the continuity of the hisotry of our two main characters, something the producers swore they would not do too often and then beat the viewer over the head with in later episodes to keep interest going. But in her work, McConnell does it fairly well, introducing us to a young Al that Sam meets as he is currently inhabiting another body. The story itself is good, if a bit stretched out. It would have made for a good episode of the series, but as a novel is runs a bit too long.

A very well written story. I loved it! It was hard to put it down once I started reading it.
