Timecop: The Scavenger

Timecop is back. Having been prematurely consigned to the TV trash heap, timecop Jack Logan is back in a new adventure, and a lot of fun it is too. Dan Parkinson shows us how it's done with a truly villainous villain, a staunchly heroic hero and lots of time travelling action. If the book has a flaw, it's the fact that Parkinson uses a lot of terms that he never explains. What is TimeTrust? E-warp? ChronComp? The way they are used seems to indicate that the reader should know what they mean, but since they are never properly introduced anywhere, how could we? A paragraph or two explaining these would have helped tremenously. Despite this, the book is a rollicking action tale that should appeal to anyone seeking a few hours of light diversion, or to fans of the TV series. Recommended.
