Kate says it best: "That's what I got for relying on what I thought was a finely developed sixth sense for staying one step ahead of the bad guys." A legend in her own mind.
Cruising for death. I’ll say!
One hundred percent of the time she is scheming to figure out how she can be the least successful in staying alive; she works exceeding hard to come up with the worst possible solution to her problems. Self-fulfilling prophecy after self-fulfilling prophecy and she makes it crystal clear that she will never get a clue.
I also tire of Kate feeling sorry for herself, that gets old quick.
Otherwise, the backstory reads a bit like James Rollins’ Amazonia (2002).
That said, this is a "great" series. I could see a science fiction angle where Kate teleports through time and space. She could be abducted by aliens, escape, and then become one of James T. Kirk's Star Trek girls until she misses the space jump because she is obsessing about something in her past. Lost in Space, she can be saved by cosmonauts, returned to earth, and imprisoned in Siberia before she is spirited away on a yak. Then she makes her way home via San Francisco where her (bad) luck continues; she is shanghaied upon arrival and quickly finds herself en route back to the Far East. While trying to figure out a means of escape, Kate is rescued by the cabin boy who is tired of being buggered, but those two are quickly recaptured and left to die on a desert island 4,000 miles from the nearest other human. Not to be bested, and with the help of the boy, Kate builds a makeshift raft and sails to freedom... until they are torpedoed by a WWII Japanese submariner who doesn’t know that the war has ended et cetera.
Somewhere in there Kate will be chained in a medieval dungeon and burned at the stake before being rescued by a lovelorn hunchback. And Kate will swoon over a number of guys while being beaten and tortured and stabbed and poisoned and shot and drowned before falling off a few cliffs and killed any number of times in the above story; just like in the series.
Just tweak the space time continuum a little bit, which Berkom practically does anyway, and the possibilities are endless.… (altro)
