Kate Heartfield's Alice Payne Arrives is the story of a time traveling thief turned reluctant hero in this science fiction adventure.
A disillusioned major, a highwaywoman, and a war raging across time.
It's 1788 and Alice Payne is the notorious highway robber, the Holy Ghost. Aided by her trusty automaton, Laverna, the Holy Ghost is feared by all who own a heavy purse.
It's 1889 and Major Prudence Zuniga is once again attempting to change history—to save history—but seventy attempts later she's still no closer to her goal.
It's 2016 and . . . well, the less said about 2016 the better!
But in 2020 the Farmers and the Guides are locked in battle; time is their battleground, and the world is their prize. Only something new can change the course of the war. Or someone new.
Little did they know, but they've all been waiting until Alice Payne arrives.

      Narrator Jennywren Walker instills the heroine of this audiobook with a touch of attitude befitting a member of the upper class in England in 1788. This novella begins a new series introducing Alice, who depends on that attitude to see her through some uncomfortable situations. For example, she saves her father from ruin with an unconventional career for a woman--that of a highwayman. As the plot proceeds into time travel, Walker expresses the bravado in Alice with a light touch sufficient to make her unfolding character seem intriguing rather than heavy-handed. Walker portrays Alice's chosen life partner, Jane, as quiet and supportive but offers hints of a strong woman who could be developed in future installments. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
