Once in a rare while, there comes a book in which the characters outlive the story. It was certainly not easy to say goodbye to Hermux Tantamoq, the dignified little hero of Michael Hoeye's terrific debut novel, "Time Stops for No Mouse."
Luckily, Hoeye felt the same way.
In this unputdownable sequel, the watchmaking mouse is back again -- and he's still in love with Linka Perflinger, the dashing aviatrix who bewitched him and drew him into his first adventure.
