Madman's Dance
LONDON, NOVEMBER 1888
History is melting down, courtesy of a multi-century plot to bring the Transitive shape-shifters to power. Only Time Rover Jacynda Lassiter can set things back on course, but that will be difficult. She’s been abandoned in a Victorian insane asylum with no memory of who she is.
Her two Victorian friends are facing equal difficulties: Dr. Alastair Montrose is caught between his duty to uncover the truth and powerful foes who wish it buried. Once lauded as a hero, Detective-Sergeant Jonathon Keats is on the run, framed for a woman’s heinous murder. Keats’ arch enemy, Desmond Flaherty, can prove him innocent, but the Fenian isn’t about to come forward, not with the life of his only daughter on the line.
If the anarchist’s cache of explosives ignites the biggest conflagration since the Great Fire of 1666, the future will change. There will be no sanctuary from the Madman’s Dance.
Jana G. Oliver
Jana lives in Atlanta with her husband and two cats, Midnight and Odds-Bobkin.

Reviews and Interviews have appeared in:
"Jana Oliver has create another winner in VIRTUAL EVIL. A fantastic sequel to SOJOURN this one is just as delightful and intriging and keeps you guessing all the way through. Can't wait for the next installment." - D. Schulz, Amazon.com
"As second book in the Time Rover series, Virtual Evil, continues the excellent storytelling that was started in the first title Sojourn. Having many different genre elements give the story a unique twist that I have found very enjoyable. Readers who enjoyed the first book should definately pick this title up. And will defiantely pick up the third installment of the the series when it comes out in the fall of '08" - W. L. McCalla Jr., Amazon.com
"Virtual Evil, the second of the Time Rovers series is an intruiging sequel to Sojurn. Full of mystery. Our Jacynda steps into one growing mystery after another, both in 1888 and 2057. No character is immune from the evil. Determining who is the enemy is not only something for Cynda to determine but also the reader. Virtual Evil will leave you demanding a third and perhaps a fourth book of the series." - James L. Guy, Amazon.com
"Romantic Times Book Review gave SOJOURN and VIRTUAL EVIL 4-1/2 Star Top Pick Ratings! They rated the highest of all the science fiction and fantasy books reviewed for the month of December." - Jana G. Oliver, author
"Virtual Evil is a strong follow-on that entertains and keeps us flipping the pages on to the promise of a third novel, Madman’s Dance, due Fall 2008." - Carlos Aranaga, ScifiDimensions.com
"This book is one of the most creative, imaginative, and exciting stories I’ve picked up in a long time. Virtual Evil is an intriguing look at the time frame when Jack the Ripper was terrorizing London but with a view point from the future." - Stephanie B., Fallen Angel Reviews
"This is an extraordinary, tightly plotted second chapter in the Time Rovers series. Oliver is a first-class storyteller, able to bring the past to life with atmospheric suspense. She provides enough backstory to make new readers comfortable without boring fans. Strong heroes and chilling villains continue to evolve. Readers are in for a gripping adventure!" - Gail Pruszkowski, Romantic Times
"VIRTUAL EVIL is a rollicking good read! Jana Oliver once again takes us back and forth in time from 1888 to 2057 seamlessly." - Chere Gruver - ParanormalRomance
"Something has gone wrong in the timeline, not a totally unexpected thing considering that time travel has been opened up as a leisure passtime for tourists, but now the Time Rovers have to fix it. Cynda has been sent back to Victorian London to repair the damage and finds herself neck deep in another serial killer case and facing old and new enemies. As she navigates through the dangers that go beyond those inherent in her profession, Cynda must also deal with the fact that something is wrong in her mind. Like many an agent before her, she is dealing with hallucinations; well, one; Mr. Spider, an arachnid that provides often unwanted advice on his own schedule. As the body count edges higher, Cynda may pay the ultimate price to save proper chronology.
The one complaint I have is that a glossary would have been useful to refresh my mind on the terms, as I’ve read more than a few books since the first Time Rovers charmed me. However, despite that handicapping factor, I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced mystery. If you love Doctor Who, then this is a must-read. The logical narrative is also imaginative and intriguing. Book three cannot come soon enough." - Amanda - The Eternal Night
"I enjoyed this book and will be hunting up Sojourn Time Rovers Book 1. Luckily, Madman’s Dance Time Rover Book 3 will be released in the Fall of 2008. If you enjoy mysteries with a dash of science fiction that this is a book you should try." - Leslee, Nightowl Romance
"The story is engaging, the characters solidly fleshed out, and the many details are flawless. A particularly interesting storyline involves the development of forensic pathology as a criminal science. The author handles the many genres woven into this book with such deftness that you hardly notice them, allowing the reader to focus on the story and the characters. My only complaint involves the ending." - Alex, Coffee Time Romance
"Oliver's time travel concept is fresh, innovative and eerily plausible. She also has a rare talent for bringing London and all its Victorian splendor - as well as its horrific squalor - to vivid life. Add to the mix the mystery and fear instilled by the Whitechapel murders and readers are in store for a wonderfully rich, well written and readable story that's hard to put down. Virtual Evil will be the second in the Time Rovers series." - Martina Bexte, BookLoons
