TimeLord: Dawn of the White Spirit

by W.T. Hunsucker

In the year 2087, after the Third World War, the nations of the world have come together to sign into law a treaty promising each nation will destroy its weapons of war and terror. Senator Tommy Garvey, the first full-blooded Native American to be elected to the Senate, has a better idea. His take the weapons back to the 19th century and arm the Indian Nation with the power necessary to take back the land stolen from them by the United States government. With the assistance of two unorthodox time travel experts, Garvey's plan is set into motion and America's history-and its future-will be altered forever.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a type of story that I don't normally read, but I must say that this was an exception. It starts off with the premise of time travel and the inventor of this miracle, is not your normal inventor. He takes "jobs" where he goes back in time and changes the timeline so that the future changes. He takes a job to change the destiny of the American Indians and this is where the fun and adventure starts. The author takes several key or important people in history, along with several key events in actual history, composes his story around them and writes a very compelling story complete with a love angle. There are points in the story where he does get a little graphic, but these are few and far between. It is a very convincing story of what if.

Didn't think much of the reviews I read as the story did capture my interest but the previous reviews are correct. The book is very gory and violent. I cannot imagine an Indian Nation being this violent, as they are almost always referred to as a peaceful nation. The story itself is very violent and often unnecessarily. It also dragged on quite often, I believe it could have been told shorter. I did enjoy the attention to detail of how this would work and for it to be realistic.
Many grammar and spelling mistakes.

Interesting

For the most part I enjoyed this book, however to me it seems to have lots of inconsistencies in the plot.

I'll start by saying that I feel guilty about the rating. It only reflects my own enjoyment of the book and probably not its worth in general. This is what I would call a "guy's book." There is a tremendous amount of gore, military history, weaponry, and extraneous violence in this book. Beyond just not enjoying people being "turned to mush," there were WAY TOO MANY battles that were outlined in excruciating detail...half as many would have gotten the point across. I thought there was little "development" in these characters--not that the characters weren't fleshed out, but rather that the impact of this "major event" (Slade having gone back in time to change the outcome of the Indian Wars) doesn't seem to have actually changed the lives or personalities of ANY of the characters (except for gaining land. While Slade and Billy's actions appear to become more violent and senseless for a large part of the book ("erasing" numerous people, senselessly killing/raping spouses), Slade gives numerous chances to live to the "future" President who clearly was a huge threat to their plan. This isn't one that I would recommend unless you have a particular attachment to war stories.

To start off, there are a lot of characters in this book. While they are not all important, they all have some impact on the events that take place. What is amazing though is the author was able to write them all in in such a way that you know who they are without having to think back to the beginning of the book to remember. There is some character development amongst most of them, but the few main characters you get right into the heads of. Very well written and amazingly entertaining. Not knowing (or really caring) much about the Indian Wars, I was reading this book more for the time travel elements...but it made me actually care and got me feeling for both sides of the battles. I found it very hard to put this book down with how fast things were moving (in the past and the future) and seeing how infallible even the weapons of today are against weapons of our past was really exciting. I am very interested to read what else this author can produce!

Entertaining and subject matter is something I'd talked about with my circle of friends.

Interesting concept but poorly written

I tried to ignore the spelling and grammar errors but there were so many. It was distracting. Cliche ridden pulp.
