It wasn't too long ago that Owen and his friends from the Resisters stopped the evil Harsh from disrupting the flow of time. Now, Owen and his friend Cati (the new Watcher for the Resisters) sense that something is wrong again with time. It turns out that time is a substance that can be stored, bought and sold, and the Earth is actually running low on time (thanks to the Harsh). Owen, Cati, and their Resister friend Dr. Diamond must try to find the legendary More...

this exciting fantasy could probably be enjoyed by a reader who missed the NAVIGATOR. The adventure continued with wildly implausible fantastic acts but kept me turning pages rapidly. Incredible, but after all it is a fantasy.

This second book in McNamee's THE NAVIGATOR TRILOGY picks up a year after THE NAVIGATOR left off. Life has been easier for Owen since the defeat of the Harsh, but the Resisters' disappearance once the disaster was taken care of leaves him lonely. His friend, Cati, left to hold the position of Watcher and remain awake while the remainder of the Resisters slumber, feels the same loneliness; she can see Owen, but he cannot see her where she More...

This is the 2nd book in a trilogy. I found the story line interesting, but the writing was so plain and juvenile. This is a Teen book but I think it could be put on the juvenile shelves. Time is literally slipping away and a kid from our time plus people from another time (who just happen to sleep in a warehouse when not needed to defend time)try to defeat the bad guys who want to destroy time. I think it could have been a better story. I don't think I'll read any of the other books in the trilo

Sequel to The Navigator. Owen is again in a race to save the world when he and the Resisters discover there is not enough time in their world. He also discovers more about what it means to be The Navigator. These books remind me of Jenny Nimmo's Charlie Bone stories in their style and characters. The protagonist is young and impulsive with a desire to right what is wrong. I also think the style is geared particularly to children from about 10 to 13 years.

This was the sequel to the Navigator. I liked the first book and I even liked this book, but I had a hard time paying attention. I suppose I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they loved The City of Ember and other books like that, because it is a little bland and has pretty simple characters. Some characters are very good and some are very bad. No character is rich or complex and I suppose that is why I was a bit bored with it. A hum drum book.

This sequel was even harder to understand than the first book. At one point at least half a dozen main characters are in different places and the narration keeps switching between them, making it hard to follow the story. The end was a bit too fantastical for me, but I did like the thought of a boat that could sail on time.

I read this book a year after I first read The Navigator (the first book in the series) and I found it dull. I suppose I had to read The Navigator again and then City of Time in order to like it. And I loved it! I always wondered what Owen's role in the whole thing was, and I finally found out at the end of the book. And I must say, it was a very cool role. I'm off to read the last book in the trilogy!

Eh. Liked the first one much more than this second entry...although the Dogs? Loved them. Also, the Yeti...the rest...just so-so.

I want to give this book 5 stars because the story line is absolutely incredible, however it's written in a very plain, uninteresting way. I would say I love it but that's not entirely true. I love the idea behind it, but not the book itself. Both the Navigator and The City of Time have the potential of being as big as Percy Jackson and the Olympians if only they were better written. I'm torn between going by the story (which I loved), or the way it was written (which I didn't love). All things

This is the second in a planned trilogy and I haven't read the first, so it was a little confusing, although there were attempts to explain things. It's a complex story of a society in which time is literally running out. Owen, the grandson of the Navigator who has mapped time, must save the world from the Harsh who want to destroy it. I think if I want to fully understand this world, I need to read the first book.

Really enjoyed this one, though I'm not sure if it's just me or did this one end sooner than the first book? I loved everything in it! Very well done, can't wait to read the last book!

The plot quickly became very convoluted and hard to believe. I just couldn't continue. Too bad, though, because it was an interesting idea.

I didn't read the first book in the series but I was able to get into this one right away. Interesting concept, running out of time...
I liked Owen and his traveling companions but I had trouble with the dogs. I did like the Yeti and his intelligence.. The museum would have been a great place to do a bit of exploring and maybe a chapter on what it contained.
And saving the world with only 3 minutes left on the clock, whew!
I will watch to see if there is another book after this o More...
