Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.

Dave Eggers

The title is certainly interesting and your review make s the book more enticing. The sample hinted at good character building and a well written plot. Book added to TBR. I wonder what secrets the barn houses.

I enjoy reading science fiction and this one seems to have a lot of insight on how planets work and how they're all connected to each other. I love exploring the vast universe and reading stories about it. So I would enjoy this book. I'm interested in knowing why John left the elite special forces and decided to become a bodyguard instead.
I'm here for a good time, not a long time. Yolo!

The vivid scene-building described in the review truly sets this book apart. Feeling like you inhabit the same timeline as the characters sounds like an immersive experience I'd love to dive into. The seamless execution of plot developments and character evolution is a big draw for me.

It’s really very simple, time is its own dimension. After discovering this, I’ve found a way to move outside of that dimension."
Infused with the spirit of the time travel classic Back to the Future, this engaging narrative takes readers on an adventure featuring a stubborn but relentlessly brilliant scientist whose insistence on peeling back the veil to see the multitude of worlds and their cataclysmic events jeopardizes the time continuum. What’s worse is the risk of advanced technology from the future falling into the hands of ancient races predisposed to abusing its power.

The character of Emerson Whitmore drives the storyline. He is always a step ahead of his contemporaries. When he calls upon the services of John Chantry, a veteran of the Elite Special Forces of the Space Rangers, a dynamic duo of Whitmore’s brains and Chantry’s brawn is established. Though Whitmore is married to his theories, seeing a “mad genius” develop a meaningful bond is refreshing. He and John initially travel to the late nineteenth century, where they stop a family from being ambushed by bandits. Later, they run into their own ordeal when trying to bring back enough gold—from an era where gold’s existence is limited only to the indigenous people—to fund the continued evolution of Whitmore’s time travel work. The outcome, rather hilariously, is the duo’s portrayal as gods in the eyes of the natives.

When Whitmore and Chantry run into the Colonel and become privy to the impact of the Krolls and the Earth Management Project, tough decisions must be made. Nevertheless, true to his nature, Whitmore is unyielding in his efforts to unravel and experience millions of years of the world’s history. A mastermind in every respect, he has planned for every setback only to come back even stronger. Ultimately, the combination of endearing characters, a plausible time travel concept, and a thought-provoking timeline delivers a compelling experience for all audiences.

It is really tell you that John and Emmerson have the best experience in time travel. How the author explain about time travel and the theory of relativity it's quiet interesting. This book is knowledgeable with other theories and explanation. How the professor tells everything and the detail is make me too stunned to speak. As a part of sci-fi this is legit a great book!

This concept is very appealing. A sci-fi novel that delves into alternate and parallel realities mixed with military strategy! Sounds like a page-turner! And knowing the descriptions are very vivid and life-like? I’m sold! Thanks for pointing that out!

What was so intriguing about John Chantry's job as a bodyguard? His former work as a Special Force also interests me. In fact most things about the military interest me.

Expertly capturing the expansiveness of the cosmos, the portrayal emphasizes that our terrestrial civilization is still in its infancy when measured against the celestial wonders that lie beyond our planet. My aspiration is that the civilizations under discussion extend beyond a Western-centric perspective.

As a dedicated fantasy reader I have never delved into the world of sci-fi. This book had me gripped from the get go. The sample i have read so far is flawlessly written and very detailed. The attitudes of mankind in the book certainly resonate with me, as this something that may happen in our not so distantant future. This will certainly be on my TBR list.
