The Celtic Deception cover

Every second counts in the fight to save all time.

Dan Renfrew hates that he’s a time jumper—seventeen-year-olds should not be stuck with the responsibility of saving history. But with no one else stepping up to stop Victor Stahl’s plot to take over the world, Dan and his time-jumping partner Sam have no choice but to jump back into history again. They land on the Celtic island of Anglesey in 60 CE, hoping to find answers on how to stop Victor. Their task isn’t easy. Everyone seems to be hiding something, from the druids who rule Anglesey to the Celts who take the time jumpers in. As two Roman legions—intent on wiping out everyone on the island—draw closer, time is running out for Dan and Sam.

"The storyline is replete with ancient battle action and tactics, flashes of romance, clever humor, and unexpected turns in events.  The book delivers not only fast-paced fun and adventure but engaging historical insight into a time of turmoil and change."---Thomas J. Howley, Historical Novel Society

"Fun immersion in the world of the Celts and the lives of endearing characters the two protagonists come to know as well as plenty of fast-paced, bloody action sequences."---Kirkus Reviews

The Celtic Deception is a thrilling trip back in time! I would definitely recommend this book to adult and young adult readers.”--–Stephanie Rowsey, Librarian, Barr Memorial Library, Fort Knox, Kentucky

“An awesome second installment to Varga’s time jumper series”--–Ashley McKay, bookseller at The Ancient Nook
