Excellent!

I could hardly stand to put this book down. Time travel books are all starting to look alike, but I found the idea of time tourism to be fascinating. The small community overrun by tourists was a great place to start, and with the wild clash of the vastly different cultures from all different times and places, it was absolutely stewing with adventure. The writing was smooth, with plenty of exciting, tense moments but also plenty of humor. I felt by the end of the book that I really knew the characters. I never read series out of order, but this was the first book I'd read out of tis series and I never would have known it wasn't the first if I hadn't started looking for more books by the same author -- it is a completely independent book from Time Scout. I highly recommend it for anyone aching for a fast paced adventure.

I love this book

Provides a very interesting theory what if time travle was possible? Preety engaging and very fun now I have to find the first book in the serise someplace.

Nice sequel...

Rarely do authors bring the same energy and life to sequels, but just as with the Myth tales and Phule's Company, Asprin has written a book almost as good as its predecessor.The sentences, paragraphs and chapters flow much better in this book than in the first, as if they've been more thoroughly edited. Asprin also keeps interest in the plot because he's exploring a whole set of characters who were only a part of the background in Time Scout. It certainly makes you want to reread the first book, and gives it a whole new dimension when you do. The plot itself is a little limited, but still quite enjoyable. Two great books so far--May there be more to come.

An excellent follow-up to the first Time Scout novel.

Wagers of Sin is an excellent example of Evens' and Asprin's combined work. The story is strong and the characters have more depth than the first novel. The involvemet of the "Found Ones" and Skeeter made what seemingly would be a sappy, happy love story between Margo and Malcolm, into an adventure spanning centuries. I would highly reccommend this novel to any time travel fan.

A good second effort from this duo

This effort, the second in the Time Scout series (hopefully, anyway), is stronger than the first. Evans & Asprin seem to have settled into a comfortable working partnership.
