Publisher's summary

Evelyn Carter, a young, struggling video news stringer, is recruited to join an elite government-run time travel agency. She and her team travel through time with the public goal of collecting artifacts lost to time and capturing historical events on video for the world to see. Along the way, she learns of a secret in history so terrifying that it must be kept hidden from the public at all costs. Lost history, top secret agendas, and a frightening future are just the beginning. Something massive is about to happen and it is up to the team to find a way to stop it. Buried deep in the past, the puzzle pieces start to fit together. For the team to stop the unstoppable, they must journey farther through time and space than anyone thought possible.

Very interesting time travel storyline!

I enjoyed this story very much. There was a lot of 'technical jargon' that is well explained without losing the lay person (me!). The story line of the time travel and how it came to be, the way they are able to shift through time and the explanation of how they were able to collect data without changing time was good. I was disappointed in the 'big bang' theory and how that was explained into existence, as well as, the 'ability' for them to go back billions of years was a bit far fetched, (especially since this was set in 2018) but, I kept reminding myself that this is a work of one man's imagination and fiction. I did enjoy the development of the characters, but feel that it didn't complete the development. (Never did explain why Sue was sick, but just left questions!) If there was a 2nd story written, I would give it a go! I listened to the audio version of this story and the narrator, Kevin Clay does a good job with the characters, and his ability to keep the voices separate and understandable. The only constructive criticism I would give is that he work on his narration in between the characters. Sounds too much like a documentary and I found myself a bit bored with the 'information' being given and rewound a few times. All in all, I enjoyed the story and the overall performance.

A fun roller coaster ride through time and space

If I were to start by saying that this is some really cheesy Sci-Fi, it would sound like an insult. It's anything but, though, as I really liked the camp and fun that this story contains, especially since it is coupled with a well thought out and consistent world that contains some great hard science. The characters are really well developed, becoming more and more real throughout the story. The plot and characterization of the main character begin from page one, and don't stop until the final sentence. This was a really fun story.

Mr. Clay's read was great. I'm a stickler for pacing and pronunciation, and his is spot on. His slight variations of tone or timbre also made it really easy to pay attention to which character was speaking, which made their conversations easier to get into, and allowed for the entire world Mr. Werdon had created to come alive.

This is a great, fun story with a great read.

Men in Black without all the killing and aliens

This was a great story that kept me engaged all the way to the end. The story was very believable and well written. Just enough character development to let you know whose side you are on. The plot line keeps you guessing as well as interested in what’s happening now. The narrator fit well with the story and had everything needed to bring the story to life. Would be happy to read more.

Not your standard go back in time novel

Would you consider the audio edition of Time Traveler Chronicles to be better than the print version?

“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

This is a fast paced, action packed science fiction novel with well developed characters facing a variety of challenges. It's science fiction without a heavy load of science, it's the kind of story you can enjoy just for the pleasure of listening. Narration is well done and captures the moods/emotions of the characters.

pretty good despite the juvenile fantasy

I was actually going to rate this as a one star book, but the story got better.

Carter is hired to be the videographer for the government's Time Travel Unit which goes around snatching desirable objects and recording major historical events. Her greatest talent is being able to intuit the whole story from just pieces. This talent saves them several times, and is quite believable. But all of a sudden the story explodes into aliens, space exploration, and the apocalyptic, cataclysmic annihilation of the Earth. It seemed like too much for one story to take on; however, it actually all worked out and became quite interesting.

The most disturbing and star-losing aspect of the story is the 8th-grade sex fantasy. The scenes are not graphic, just juvenile. You learn very early on that 27 y-o Carter is actually the kind of girl who needs therapy to get out of her Shades-of-Gray dependency. She has, in the past, rapidly jumped from one loser guy to another, and now within 2 days, is mooning over the only man she has met in the Program, then within a few more days has jumped into bed with him and become his sex kitten. Of course she has a big chest--this is an important aspect of the plot (eye roll), and of course she is stunning--that's his comment as he gazes on her after sex (another eye roll). Their conversations are trite and childish, and her behavior is that of a 15-y-o. Ho-hum. Too little is made of the relationship between teammate Susan and Steven (they had sex on the pod floor, in the pod chairs, in the pod showers, etc.) for you to get teary-eyed when you are supposed to.

And the other main character is named something that sounds like Eros, which as you know, is the god of sexual love, and his last name is something that sounds like Deny-er, so he ends up sounding like a shady creep since he certainly does not deny sex.

Then there are the grammar and syntax errors typical of this level of relationship writing. The book is written in the present tense, which no serious book is, for example "Carter ties her hair up in a band and picks up her camera." Present tense prose is usually reserved for 1st-grade Dick and Jane readers. There are verb agreement errors, and stupidities like something being "suspended between the gap." Then the government decides they will not invade the aliens in order to live in their land, but they will try to steal their power source. This contradicts the main rules the book runs by, but it sort of smooths out eventually. The end of the story is a bit rushed given the dragging out of events to get there, and the cosmic nature of the problem and solution, but it is interesting. By the end, the book has clawed its way up from one star to a little more than two.

The narration is perfect for the immaturity of the relationships.

I loved this book - super freaky time travel

Any additional comments?

This book was very entertaining. Set in the future in a world that is very different than it is now. I love that the main plot is trying to save the world.If you love time travel books you should definately read this book. I hope there will be a follow up or maybe a series! I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review. But I really loved it even if I did get for free! thank you Robert Werden.

I Could Not Finish It

If I had not come back to this page to check and see if this was a juvenile selection, you would not be reading this. Alas, this book was not classified as such, so it lacks even that redemption. I love time travel, and until this book never found one that I did not like. I won't waste any more time on this book by going over the ridiculous plot. Yes, when you read science fiction, credulity should go on standby, BUT most authors attempt to mate reality and their world until you can also believe in their world for a bit. However, this author didn't manage to convince me that the earth is hollow. Yes, hollow with an entire civilization living in it. This isn't a fairytale, it's supposed to be real science fiction, but it's really just inane, like a bad sitcom. Don't waste money or credits.

Amazing time travel story

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
One of the better time travel stories I've listened to. I really enjoyed the character development and shock and awe. I really connected with the characters and wasn't confused with the paradox of time travel.

amazing

This is one of those books that has you entertained from the very beginning. The author has a great sense of humor. I finished this book in 3 days, which surprised me bc I have trouble finding books I enjoy. It's got some nice plot twists. I would definitely recommend this book to someone who enjoys a good SIFI story.
