Ashley is a time-travelling journalist. Fresh out of Tempus University she needs to prove she isn't just some spoiled little rich girl whose daddy bought her place in college. So she decides she is going after a major interview - Alexander the Great. Each year one journalist can travel back in time to interview any person in human history. They have the Tradi-Scope, a device which enables them to understand to understand the language and idioms of the time so they can blend into the society undetected.

There are however two rules. Rule one, stay for no more than twenty hours. Rule two, do not affect history. If the journalist stays over their alloted time they are abandoned in the past and their tradi-scope is deactivated. Should they alter time, the scientists would find them in history and eradicate all trace.

Having preformed her interview, Ashley finds herself very attracted to Alexander but, as required by her contract, she leaves him for her rendezvous at the retrieval point for the twenty hour dealine. As the transfer beams engulfs her she passes out, only to wake - hours later - in Alexander's arms. She is trapped in the past.

I loved this book. After the first couple of pages, the entirity of the novel is set in the time of Alexander, with detailed descriptions of the people, society and the places involved. Alexander is particularly well described. You honestly get to feel the command he had over his men. He is extremely charismatic and compelling.

The storyline is inriguing. Can Ashley manage to survive in this alien time without affecting the course of history and getting erased. Time for Alexander combines a good SF time-travel story with just enough romance to leave you feeling confortable and relaxed. This novel certainly made an eight hour flight to Chicago pas a lot easier!
