It's the last few minutes of Millennium Eve, December 31 1999. But whilst the rest of the world is celebrating, Outcast Angel Jesse and a ragtag bunch of genetically enhanced trainees are desperately trying to save a Russian politician from an unknown assassin.
The crowd is counting down the last few seconds till the new millennium -- and then suddenly everything changes. Time turns back on itself. What just happened, will it happen again and is there anything that Jesse and his team can do to prevent the assassination?
TIME LOOP (originally published under the title THEN AGAIN) is one of a collaborative series of Christian fantasy and science fiction short stories published under the collective banner REALMS OF OUR OWN.

Time Loop An Outcast Angels Fantasy Science Fiction Tale Realms Of Our Own edition by Michael Carney Religion Spirituality eBooks
Specials ops meets the angelic meets time travel! Three of my favourite genres. Mix them together and you have one cohesive, fast paced thriller! I honestly felt that this was longer than it was and that is a great quality when you know it is a short story! If it felt like this as a short imagine the potential if this was a full-length novel! I would love to see this.In this short, Carney was responsible to describe the character of Jesse. I have come to be very fond of Jesse from the other Realms of Our Own episodes but, because this one specifically focuses on him, I feel he comes into his own in this short. When I discovered that Carney has made him one of his Outcast Angels characters from his series of the same name, I was very pleased and also very intrigued with the concept of this series. Carney explains this concept in this short,
"Jesse and Ravid were angels who had been part of the Great Rebellion against God and had been sent into exile as a consequence. However, Jesse and Ravid and several hundred other exiles had subsequently repented and so had not joined Lucifer and his demon followers. This splinter group, who called themselves, Outcast Angels, chose instead to stand against evil wherever they could. The resulting guerilla warfare, former angels against angels-turned-demons, had continued over thousands of years and the Outcast Angels had suffered many causalities along the way.
Because the Outcast Angels were so few in number compared with Lucifer's multitudes, Jesse had also recruited from the human population, encouraging them to join the secret organization he had created, the LOA. This group was named for the institution under whose guidance it was originally founded, the Library of Alexandria. Like its namesake, the LOA's primary purpose was information. However occasionally direct action was required, especially to combat the activities of subversive groups....To meet this need, the LOA had set up several rapid response teams around the world."
If this short is an example of what his Outcast Angels stories are about, Carney has gained a devoted fan. This concept really does grab me and I have subscribed to Carney's website http://outcastangels.com to be kept up to date on this series.
Carney writes well and I can see that he is very thorough in the construction of this short. Plot flows well and keeps the reader's attention focussed. Plot is also well developed and I felt as if I was in the middle of a special ops, military type coup happening. Action and adventure, battle strategy, urgency and well controlled demeanour when things go pear shaped and the battle strategy has to change instantly. Jesse is depicted as having the respect of his team and comes across as a true leader. I find all this as strengths of this novel. Despite the ending being rather sudden, I still feel he wrapped it up well and I did not feel that I was left hanging as if it was unfinished. I really do want more of this short and especially of the Outcast Angels series.
I really did love the roles and situations he placed all the other characters that are a part of all the other Realm of Our Own episodes. All well placed and well balanced.
My only negative and it is a small one was that at first I did not understand why Carney had used the electronic device called aernote which used Morse code to allow Grayson Ford to communicate with his team seeing he was mute. My first thought was that why not just use the text messaging (SMS) function of a mobile phone? Then I researched this and it was after the year 2000 that text messaging really took off so in the time of this short, it was a relatively small percentage of mobile phone users who were using SMS. But despite this, Carney may just have decided to create his own device for this short well within the realms of poetic licence and his imagination.
Highly Recommended.

Time Loop An Outcast Angels Fantasy Science Fiction Tale Realms Of Our Own edition by Michael Carney Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Then Again...I loved the title of this short story. It hooked me just based on that. The story itself is a great. A wonderful mix of the Realms of Our Own characters. In this segment, Jesse is the leader of the London LOA which tries to thwart bad things from happening. In this segment, they are trying to prevent the assassination of the new Russian president. They're too late, when the day begins again. As other reviewers mentioned, Groundhog day with a twist.
The twist I liked is that using the Groundhog day time loop, EVERYONE is aware that time has reset. A fun twist! I loved it. The way they figure out what is happening is totally hysterical but makes sense.
This was the first work I read by Carney and I look forward to more
At this point I have read all 5 of the 10 ROOO stories currently out (five more to come out soon). At the halfway point, I must say Michael Carney's Then Again is the best of the bunch so far (including my own contribution to the series). This is just a great story, well told, and without doubt I will be giving his full-length works a read after seeing this one.
PROS
1) Brilliant storytelling. Seriously, the ease with which Carney weaves this tale carries the reader along in a way that causes you to not even realize you are lost in the story world until it is over. I started this during a long train ride and I am so glad I didn't have to put the story down before I finished it. The one thing that worries me about Carney's writing and the possibility of starting a novel-length work by this author is the fear of getting lost and losing a few days where I can't get anything else done besides reading on.
2) Phenomenal twist! Okay, no spoilers, you MUST read this yourself, but I have got to say Bravo! Novels, with fully developed plotlines, have a hard enough time these days dropping twists in that surprise me. I have simply read too much, seen too much, and have a mind of a writer myself, so I usually see the "clever twists" coming like there were giant orange road signs warning "twist ahead". This one blindsided me. I can count on one hand the number of things I read nowadays in a year that really give me that welcome feeling of surprise, but Carney did that with the reveal at the end of this story. I honestly laughed out loud with delight. Short stories depend on that "gotcha" factor to be compelling, but so few times do they deliver on the promise. Carney did.
CONS
1) Nothing. Honestly, I know there is no such thing as a perfect work, but I would have to invent something to put here. There were one or two little things I might put together, but honestly there was nothing detracting about this story worth mentioning.
Authors have to be, to some degree, very self-confident and positive about their own work, but as I said above I would rate Michael's story above mine if simply for the brilliance of the twist at the end. I can't wait to read a novel-length work by Carney. I just probably need to do it during a time where I can take a day or two off just to read it cover to cover.
