2.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunate, 17 Dec 1997
By A Customer
The strengths of the television series Quantum Leap, upon which this book was based, were interesting plots, well-developed characters, a consistent milieu and the expressed conviction that Good will triumph over Evil. While "Heat Wave" certainly espouses the latter, it falls short in the other categories.

The plot, a small-town murder mystery, can work quite well, but in this case the clues were too obvious, the elimination of suspects too pat, and the investigation too police-like and not enough Sam-like... which brings me to the point of characterization. Although Al's wardrobe adds color to any situation, our familiar team is transformed from three dimensions to two through the use of hyperbolic caricatures of their personality traits... and the walk-ons, the men and women of the small town setting for this novel, lack the depth needed to support their own contradictions. Arguably the most detracting aspect of this novel, however, were the anachronisms and flat-out typos, which indicated a lack of editorial oversight and research.

In short, Heat Wave left me cold.
