Description
Owen turned to Cat but she was staring into the woods, her face a mast of fear. Far off, but moving closer, were two figures, both white, both faceless, seeming to glide between the trees. "The Harsh" whispered Cati."They're here."One day the world around Owen shifts oddly: Time flows backwards, and the world and family he knew disappear. Time can only be set right when the Resisters vanquish their ancient enemies, the Harsh. Unless they are stopped, everything Owen knows will vanish as if it has never been...And Owen discovers he has a terrifying role to play in this battle: he is the Navigator.

      • content: Kirby Heyborne's fine performance draws the listener into this time-travel tale that presents a new and unusual twist. Owen, an unassuming hero, is thrust into a world of suspended time. Although he is unaware of it, he is "The Navigator," the central key who can turn the balance between the evil Harsh and the Resisters. As the story unfolds, Heyborne's voice captures Owen's dawning awareness of his life-and-death role. The cold force of the Harsh, the innocent but forceful power of the Resisters, and Owen's emerging courage are all enhanced by the calm, intense narration. Heyborne's tone and pacing also make a complex plot understandable. Listeners will want to know what challenge awaits The Navigator in a promised Book Two. L.D.H.

        November 13, 2006
        McNamee (Resurrection Man
        , for adults) makes his YA debut with an inventive time travel story. Owen lives in the shadow of a father who committed suicide, but readers barely get to meet the young hero before he encounters a tiny man who warns him, "It has begun... it is to be you." From there, Owen is whisked to the Workhouse, "the center of the Resisters to the Harsh and the frost of eternal solitude that they wish to loose upon the earth." He is taken in by these "custodians of time," who tell him about the Harsh—faceless creatures that "long for emptiness, for cold nothingness." To this end, the Harsh have begun the Puissance, which is causing time to run backwards. In order to defeat the Harsh, Owen and new friend Cati must find the Mortmain, a device of unknown shape and size that can destroy the Great Machine causing the Puissance. The Mortmain recalls Rowling's "portkey" concept—a magical artifact, hiding in plain sight as an everyday object, which may feel a bit derivative to some readers. But the ultimate discovery of that object and its keeper ties the book's ending to its beginning in satisfying fashion. McNamee's setting is certainly unique, and readers who relish the brain-teasing nature of time-travel stories will also relish this book and its planned sequels. Ages 9-12.

        Gr 5-8-Throughout the ages, the ragged, noble Resisters and the cold, cruel Harsh have been engaged in a war for time itself. Owen is thrust into the middle of this battle when the Harsh strike with their latest weapon, a machine called the Puissence, that rapidly turns back time, and everything and everyone familiar to him disappears. He joins the Resisters and soon finds that he has an important role to play in the battle. Owen also discovers that he has inherited a mantle of suspicion from his father who was supposedly responsible for the theft of a valuable weapon called the Mortmain. Owen sets out to prove himself and earn the trust of his new friends. Irish author Eoin McNamees fast-paced, time-travel fantasy (Wendy Lamb Books, 2007) is filled with interesting characters and quirky inventions. Plots involving time manipulation are difficult to pull of without a hitch, and perceptive readers will find The Navigator is no exception. Kirby Heyborne deftly juggles the voices and accents of multiple characters. He reads with a clear, lulling voice that doesnt always match the dramatic pace of the story. This novel has its strengths, but in the end falls short of its destination.Heather Dieffenbach, Lexington Public Library, Beaumont Branch, KY

        April 9, 2007
        With a vocal performance that sounds both youthful and polished, Heyborne gamely takes on this spirited, swift-moving fantasy-adventure, the first children's book by Irish novelist McNamee. Though villagers whisper of suicide, Owen is not certain of how his father mysteriously died. He only knows that life without his father has been isolating and difficult, throwing his mother into a depression. While visiting the hillside hideaway that brings him some solace, Owen meets a tiny man (who occasionally sounds like Sean Connery); he foretells the boy's key role in the dangerous exploits to come. The encounter has placed Owen into a sort of time portal; he is soon recruited by the Resisters, those battling a group called the Harsh who have caused time to shift backwards in an effort to wipe out humanity. A plucky girl named Cati is along for the wild ride, which is likely to broaden the appeal of this recording. Though sorting out the logical intricacies of the plot can be a bit tricky, listeners who stick with it will be satisfied by this exciting yarn. Ages 10-up.
