THE ELITE FORCE by D. J. Henderson - Gritty, ugly, sci-fi crime fiction at its best. This is the story of an ancient sect of female Scottish warriors whose life span extends to hundreds of years. They are able to travel forwards and backwards through time via "portals" to apprehend those, primarily men, who would abuse animals, children, and women. Most of the adventures in this book occur in "current" time. On one level it reads like Power Rangers or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on steroids. But if you read the inside back cover first, the author says "As time passed I created warriors from the past to help me deal with the abuse, not only I suffered, but others. My fierce warriors would punish the tormentors and destroy them." Thus it would seem the writing of this book has been a catharsis for the author well beyond that experienced by many writers. On a technical level, the book could have used better editing, i.e. "passed" for "past", some reaction scenes out of proportion to the triggering force, and a few unresolved conflicts that may in fact be the basis of further adventures. On an emotional level the book is quite powerful and, for this reason one I highly recommend. The only other author I've read that goes this far is Andrew Vachss. ISBN number 1-4134-6525-0

This book has everything. An artful blend of action, Scottish warriors, time travel, humor, and most of all compassion and justice. It has helped me see I am a good person and I can fight back against abuse. Can't wait for the second book to be out.

This book is wonderful, I could not put it down and I love the last line. That one line tells it all. I feel like the three warriors are real people and someone I would like to have as friends, yet they take no mouth off of anyone. It would be great if we could all stand up and say no more, as they do. This is a must read for anyone who feels hopeless and alone. After you read this book you will have new courage and feel a surge of hope as I myself did. I can't wait for "Warriors in Time"
