The story of Time Before Time opens with a brilliant professor who is at odds with other mainstream scientists. His thoughts on how several advanced civilizations have evolved over millions of years on Earth. To discover for himself what actually transpired in history, he resolves to construct a time machine. The reviewer paints a vivid image of the book's richness and complexity by discussing its examination of alternate creations, planets' interconnection, and emphasis on teamwork and competence. The review is written really nicely. Congratulations on BOTD, author.

I like such topics of science fiction. This is a fascinating concept and I hope that the civilizations discussed are not only centred around the West, like most of the books of this kind. Congratulations on BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

A compelling voyage is promised by the investigation of different creations and related worlds, together with striking scene-building. It seems like a novel sci-fi book because of the focus on character development and the deft handling of story points. This book ranks highly on my list of books to read because of its well-executed editing, clear direction, and straightforward story. I appreciate the suggestion.

The intertwining of Earth's existence with alternate creations in 'Time Before Time' by Dan DuBose and Beau DuBose is simply captivating. I can't wait to delve deep into John Chantry's journey as he navigates through this intriguing universe.

"Time Before Time" is not my type of book for a couple of reasons. First, all the talk about the interconnectedness of the planets and their orbits does not captivate my attention.

Moreover, the protagonist, John, appears to be on the lookout for an unexciting life. Congratulations on winning the BOTD, but I'll have to pass on this book.

The authors expertly fused fantasy, time travel, science fiction, history, and archaeology to come up with a stimulating read. The characters were also well-developed and given sufficient backstories. These added to my enjoyment of this remarkable novel"

Wonderful review! It’s great to hear how skilled the author is with world building as well as plot/character development. Those things are always challenging, but particularly so in a genre such as sci-fi where certain intricacies are necessary.
The book explores the interconnectedness of planets, detailing their orbits and illustrating how disruptions on one can significantly impact others.
As I read this quote, I was literally thinking “It’s the same with people. This is basically teamwork in a nutshell.” Then, the very next sentence goes into the emphasis on teamwork in the book lol.

The book is really intriguing. From the sample I'm left thirsting for more . I'm definitely going to read it as I like the concept. The imagination of the writer is simply mind blowing. I like the attention to little details as in the explanation of how the pod works. It's a really promising book for sure.

John Chantry, a retired member of the Elite Special Forces in the Space Rangers, spent his final years training recruits in the use of special weapons for zero- and low-gravity environments. After two decades of service and seeking a quieter life, John accepted a position as a bodyguard for Professor Whitmore Emerson, an esteemed academic. The generous pay, four times what he earned in the force, made the offer enticing. As John arrived at Emerson Barn, a typical setting with horse stalls and the scent of hay, he soon discovered surprises that added a twist to his seemingly ordinary new job. Explore the intriguing events in "Time Before Time" by Dan DuBose and Beau DuBose to learn if this career change fulfills John's quest for a less exciting life.
 
"Time Before Time" is a captivating read that delves into alternate creations and entities coexisting with Earth. Beyond our planet, numerous constellations exist simultaneously, showcasing that earthly civilization is in its infancy compared to the vastness of the universe. The book explores the interconnectedness of planets, detailing their orbits and illustrating how disruptions on one can significantly impact others. Emphasizing teamwork, it likens a team to a unified body working cohesively toward shared goals. Expertise in one's chosen field is praised, with nearly every character in the enthralling narrative being a master in their trade. The book intricately illustrates the repercussions of every action, exemplified by Colonel Turlan's decision not to alter the past to save Lt. Nikle, recognizing the potential cost in lives.
 
The book's immersive quality stems from the authors' vivid and lifelike depictions of each landscape and era, seamlessly drawing readers into the storyline. I applaud their meticulous scene-building, creating an intricate narrative that makes it feel as though I inhabit the same timeline as the characters. The execution of plot developments and character introductions is masterful, and the evolution of characters' knowledge and expertise sets this apart from my previous reading experiences. This constant development keeps readers engaged and eagerly anticipating what unfolds. The action sequences and the portrayal of cutting-edge technologies across various planets add to the book's compelling nature. The vivid imagery is so compelling that, at times, it challenges the perception of the story as mere fiction.
 
I have no reservations about this book; from start to finish, it maintains a clear direction and an unambiguous narrative.
 
The book stands out with its polished editing, earning a solid five out of five stars from me because it offers readers an immersive and imaginative experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it to sci-fi enthusiasts and those who enjoy books with a touch of military setting. It's truly worth the read.
