Pamela B. Eglinski

1877--a smear of blood. Mutating bacteria. 2017--unrelenting plague. The Last Pandemic. The world's worst nightmare, a disease without a cure--a mutated version of Rocky Mountain spotted fever with an 80% death rate. Can a time traveler change history by destroying the disease at its inception? It's a gamble, but worth a try. Venturing into a stone portal, Sophie Anderson travels through time arriving 140 years in the past. She meets Colorado characters: Isabella Bird, a writer; One-Eyed Rocky Mountain Jim, a trapper; the Earl of Dunraven, a wealthy Welsh-Irishman; Albert Bierstadt, an American artist. Some will help, others will try to kill her. Sophie's greatest challenge: destroy the bacteria before it annihilates humanity. Her greatest fear: condemned to a life in the past--unable to return home.

Bob Mayer, New York Times best-selling author says this about The Third Knife: "Eglinski spins a riveting story, dynamic characters, and a richly layered plot that encircle you at the start and refuse to let you go. For those who love historical fiction, this is an absolute 'must read'." Thrust into the world of sabotage and guerrilla warfare in WWII France, young patriots challenge Nazi Germany, the most savage war machine of the 20th century. This is a story of passion and espionage, and the brave souls who fought back-often only steps ahead of Nazi pursuers. The Third Knife is the prequel to Return of the French Blue, making it the first in the Catalina & Bonhomme Spy Series, and a must read
