Hunter Coburn has found himself jumping through time to the past, present, and future through seemingly random jumps that he has no control over. Each time, he has found himself traveling with a woman from the future named Kristin. The two of them are doing everything they can to stop a cataclysmic war from destroying the planet & spreading to other worlds. Each time they time jump, they encounter other time travelers who are working to make sure “The Purge” as it is being called, does happen.
I read an Advance Review Copy of this book, and it is a very complex, but interesting story with quite a bit happening. And reading it has the possibility of getting a little confusing at times if the reader isn’t paying attention as to when in time the characters happen to be. Fortunately, the authors do a good job of making it as clear as possible for the reader to keep track of the current time period that is being focused on, though be sure to pay closer attention as you get to the end of the book, as that is where the biggest potential for confusion might occur.
And while this book doesn’t complete the story (there will be a book three), we do gain quite a bit of insight into what is happening, though I’m still uncertain as to what the original event that began it all was. But I’m also fairly certain that is something we will finally learn in the next book. And I have to say, at this point I am more than a little curious as to how the authors are going to wrap up this story.
So if you’re looking for an intricate and complex tale involving time travel as well as people both trying to save the planet as well as others seeking to destroy it, then you’ll want to give this series a try. Time travel is a funny thing, and those attempting to change an outcome must be careful about unintended results of their actions. Because as the characters in this book do see at times, those unintended consequences can have far reaching effects. But also adds the question of whether or not those eventual outcomes were pre-determined the moment the very first time traveler began their journey?
