8R.E.D. the animator
So ultimately Brian turned out to be the villain. I forgot how impulsive he was in this story. He really mellows out in the later ones.
It's so weird reading this again in light of the events of the 4th book. There's a lot that fits right into place. However the 4th book fails to explain where Aero goes after Charlie takes her. Was the Charlie from this book the same one from the later stories, or was she just a creation of the gang in order to prepare Kenzi for future events, similar to Jon's lamanite training? I guess if it were just a fake Charlie then Aero would simply have disappeared along with the whole world once they left it. I think that everyone agrees that Aero was the best character, second only to Jon when he's mad at Brian.
For some reason it feels like at the moment that they jump for the first time with the remote the plot begins to fall apart. Something about being able to jump to any time and any place makes the events seem less important. Or maybe it just feels like that because that's the moment where the story abruptly shifts gears from survival with the Nephite Ninjas to running across time, causing much of the exposition up to that point to no longer matter.
TSG has certainly come a long way since this book. Say what you will about it's quality, but there's no denying that this book presented almost all of the concepts that were vital to the later stories. This one was the seed.

WOW! Very much the mystery, 'course everyone hates the native, but other than that a very good chapter indeed! although I think that I can see the differences in writers, might be that your having the characters help? I have a hunch that maybe just maybe, your the better mormon of the group and this is your idea and at least one is helping you, maybe Jon that sounds like something he would do...
