Críticas:

"Nick of Time is an American Classic." --Glenn Beck

"Nick of Time is a blast--the best of Robert Louis Stevenson, Horatio Hornblower and Harry Potter. The kid in me loved it, and so did the adult." --James Patterson

"Nick of Time takes young readers on a thrilling historical voyage . . . definitely not for the faint of heart." --Los Angeles Times

"An immensely appealing book. Three huzzahs and a great big 21-gun salute to Bell for his first novel for kids." --School Library Journal, Starred Review

"This old-fashioned adventure adds a new twist to elements of Treasure Island, Horatio Hornblower, and 'Indiana Jones' . . . Every middle school boy (and many girls, too) will relish joining Nick on his heroic adventures. Charming and thrilling, this book could become a classic with its good, clean, swashbuckling fun." --Voice of Youth Advocates

"Bell's narrative never lacks for excitement . . . for younger readers . . . this book will become an instant classic." --KLIATT

"A brilliant adventure, hidden within a rolling saga, tucked inside an intriguing mystery. That's Nick of Time. Ted Bell proves that he's the master of swashbuckling for both young and old." --Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Amber Room

"In an adventure many times his size, Nick travels time to defeat both Napoleon's plot and a secret experimental Nazi submarine in this vibrant and enchanting book." --Jordan Weisman, co-author of the New York Times bestselling Cathy's Book

"Wow! Some books sweep you away. Nick of Time amazed me, dazzled me, and swept my imagination off to sea. . . . I've been craving an adventure story with a good mystery, and this arrived in the nick of time to rescue me." --SchoolLibraryJournal.com

"Nick of Time is one heck of an adventure! Filled with colorful characters, non-stop action, scary pirates, nasty Nazis, technically advanced submarines, rousing old-time sailing ships, thrilling battle scenes, heart-pounding sea voyages and nail-biting espionage, this story has it all. . . . If you are looking for a thrill and a new hero, this is it." --TeenReads.com

"Nick of Time reminded me of Brian Jacques, one of my favorite authors. Everything clicks together perfectly . . . I really like the era and technology of World War II, especially the 'secret weapons' . . . the whole pirate thing really appeals to me . . . The time travel idea is cool, and what's even better is that da Vinci created it!" --Henry Willshire, age 13
