Michele Slung of The Washington Post raved about Cooney’s second novel Rear View Mirror, noting how tightly written and fast-paced it is that one can forget they haven’t been breathing until the very last paragraph! In 1984, Rear View Mirror was adapted into a television movie starring Lee Remick.
Prisoner of Time, Cooney’s third novel, follows Strat as he accidentally travels one hundred years into the future to 1895 and finds himself forced to marry Annie Lockwood. Their reunion is brief but enough to save Strat from certain death.
