This sounds AMAZING! I think this is the second book though... so I will have to pick up the first. Thank you for such an incredible review. I know I have to read this.

Post by Jorge Leon Salazar »

A book that presents a mix of science fiction, drama, and romance. It is set in the year 2045 and includes the possibility of time travel. It has other striking aspects such as fierce female characters. It seems like a good option for adults who like the aforementioned genres.

I always love when a book contains strong female characters – time travel is a theme I enjoy sometimes as well. Thanks for the review.

This sounds like a fascinating book! I love it when authors go into how time travel actually works. Might just have to add this to my far too long TBR list

Cecil is obviously from Michigan, dontchaknow. That’s very common and realistic dialect there, lol. I like the story and the characters, but will have to pass due to the explicit scenes. Thanks for the review.

Time travelling and spies sounds like a great combination. The story line sounds fab, especially with the dangers and laws to abide by when time travelling. Thanks for a great review.

Well-written and professionally edited, today's BOTD mixes elements of scifi, romance, and drama into an exciting time travel novel filled with descriptive details and vivid scenes. Best fit for adults, fans of the genre will enjoy this one. And, who knows, maybe we'll even see it one day on the big screen! :-) Thanks so much for your review!!

While I am not normally a fan of science fiction, I love that this book is multilayered. It's thrilling and has romance, which sounds like it may be a good read for me. I am interested in the premise of time travel, and I am eager to find out what the characters will uncover. Thanks for the wonderful review.

Wasting Time" by Mike Murphey - A time travel extravaganza embracing science (accessible to the non-scientist), lust, and greed. I think readers will love or hate this book, and not much in between. Rules for time travel - do not travel back before your birthdate or you might end up in limbo. Wonderful review. Thanks.

Time travel usually gives me a headache. With the rules, this sounds like the movie Time Cop. It seems interesting, and I may look into into despite the headache issue. Thanks!
