I have read an amazing science fiction novel called 'John Chantry.' The story follows the journey of John, a retired member of the Elite Special Forces in the Space Rangers. In his final years, he trains recruits to use special weapons in zero- and low-gravity environments. I really enjoyed this novel and congratulate the author on winning Book of the Day.

Your review painted a captivating picture of the various elements that make "Time Before Time" a creative, imaginative and expertly crafted sci-fi adventure. As a fan of the genre, I am placing this solidly on my to-read list thanks to your thoughtful endorsement. I'm always grateful to fellow readers like yourself who take the time to outline both the impressive strengths and small faults in order to give others a balanced preview. Well done!

Your depiction of this novel makes me curious enough to read it. I am certainly interested in discovering whether Chantry's life changed for the better or the worse. Congrats to the author on BOTD status. I hope his work will be widely appreciated.

The book is right up my alley! I love all that Sci-Fi/Fantasy has to offer, but after "Farscape" there is a special soft spot for semi-military civilizations of a far-away future. Space Rangers sound quite similar to Peacekeepers, therefore I have great hope not to be disappointed in this story! Thanks for your recommendation and congratulations on BOTD!

This book's plot seems captivating with its mystery laid out in an immersive manner. This makes me eager to know what John discovers at Emerson barn. Congrats on BOTD!

This science fiction book presents a plot that delves into alternative creations and entities that coexist with Earth as well as the interconnectedness of planets. I guess John didn't find a quieter life in his job as a bodyguard.

Great review! I normally do not like sci-fi novels, but this one grabbed my interests from the start. Time travel is a very interesting concept that has been around for several years. If anyone has been able to accomplish it remains to be seen.

As much as the review describes this book as interesting, I'm still finding it difficult to have it pique my interest. Anyway, the authors have done well with the narrative, creating suspense around what becomes of the protagonist after taking up a new and enticing job.

Sci-Fi/Fantasy was never my cup of tea, since I am quite realistic and practical, but fortunately my daughter is dreamy enough to love the genre. I am always on the lookout for interesting books for her and am impressed with the sophisticated storyline, so will bring it to her attention! Congrats with BOTD!

I do commend the author for the wonderful world-building and vivid imagery that account for the immersive reading experience. The book sounds intriguing even though I am not particularly a fan of science fiction books with intergalactic or interplanetary storylines. Thanks for the well-rounded review.

The book's concept promisedfor an unforgetable reading experience. the authors' imagination is simply mind blowing. I appreciate the suggestion. But I don't quite enjoy books with a touch of military setting. Thank you for your captivating review.

"Time Before Time" by Dan DuBose is a Sci-Fi with a touch of military setting that offers the reader an interesting view of alternate creations and interconnectedness of planets and mystery of the Earth's past. Although this sounds like an interesting read, Sci-Fi is really not my scope of interest so I will be letting this book pass me by. Still, congratulations to the authors for BOTD.

John transitioned his career from a military personnel in the space ranger to a bodyguard in professor Whitmore's house. Time Before Time" by Dan DuBose is an interesting read.
