Time Pirate #2
Time Pirate 2
My life was turned upside down when I found a time traveling watch during my security job at the Smithsonian Museum. One minute, I was standing in modern DC, and the next, I was in 1814.
And things have only gotten crazier since then.
I fell in love with a 19th century woman and brought her back to the present day, and through her, I also obtained a very expensive looking tie pin and a first edition, signed copy of Pride and Prejudice.
Now, I just have to figure out how to sell these things without making the IRS suspicious.
And then I need to decide what I’m going to steal from the past next.

storyline ok, but poor planning by the MC is painful to read.
Spoiler alert: The MC left his fingerprints on the decoy watch used to frame his jerk-off boss. Stupid mistake! Joan’s fingerprints could be on the watch since she is a researcher, though she should be wearing gloves to handle it unless careless, but his certainly shouldn’t.
Next, why is the MC walking around with the time travel watch in his pocket all the time? He takes it to meet up with low-lifes, to go shopping and to work etc. Really? Why not leave it in a safe deposit box at a bank in a nearby city. He could open an account say 10 years ago and put the watch there in this time. Thats much more secure and he’s likely going to get hot with all the attention he’s getting plus the new Russian boss that likely has something to do with the watch’s crafter.
Although the storyline is holding my interest, these faux pas are just bad! Then he texts Joan “going time traveling”…. Really? Followed up by cell phone calls referencing the same thing. What was the editor thinking?
Next our intrepid time pirate goes to meet Poe, intending to steal a horse to get to Baltimore. Why not just drive to the outskirts of Baltimore or just to Poe’s house in the middle of the night? Anyway he feeds the stolen horse no less than 10 cubes of sugar. Really? Horse theft, stealing from a poor shopkeeper when he could have traded something innocuous like vacuum packed dark roast coffee for it. Grimy dude!
In fact the MC didn’t even bring a writing quill, or even a modern pen for Poe to sign the newspaper. I’m really starting to dislike this dude and I certainly don’t respect him. The story is fairly intriguing but the MC or at least one of his supporting characters needs to help him do some thinking and planning.
As I said in other reviews, Eric Vall has written some interesting books, but his recent works leaves much to be desired. Much of my critique is the inconsistencies or poorly thought out scenarios. There are too many good books out there to waste time with mediocre writing.

Good, easy read. Simple attempt. Bit slow.
The premise of these books are good it makes you wonder what's going to happen the world the author built was engaging. But the second book was slow with a lot of filler honestly it should have been attached to the first book. It introduced two characters one to little effect in a future bad guy. Logic seem to take a little bit of a back seat as you started asking yourself if you had the ability to time travel, then this guy must be really dumb to do what he does. The relationships don't really salvage a poor story or poor writing and a lot of times cringe dialogue. But the premise makes you hope that there might be something better here, it just didn't happen in this book, it was slow and not very suspenseful or engaging.

Paul Revere, Jane Austen & Edgar Allan Poe
Francis Johnston has two hot girlfriends and a watch that the night watchman at the Smithsonian uses to go back in time. He picks up a tie pin crafted by Paul Revere and a first edition of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, autographed by the author. Returning to the present time, with his blonde girlfriend from 1814, Emily Forrester, he conspires with 21st century brunette girlfriend, Joan Giles, to market the stuff on the dark web for seven figures.
Add a few scenes of gratuitous erotica, plus dumb criminals, bad bosses, and an 1845 bar fight defending a drunk Edgar Allan Poe, and you're entertained, steamy-ensnared, and rooting for Frankie the karate kid turned Time Pirate. Fun, silly, sexy sci-fi... It's an Eric Vall book. What's not to love?

I absolutely love this series
Book 2 hits the ground running and never stops. Lots of action, mysteries abound, great smexy times, and we end on kind of a clifhanger. I blew through this book in a day and eagerly await the next installment.

Fun read
A good fun read. Little bit of action and some interesting time travel incidents. Enjoyed having the Mc and Joan showing Emily what the world is like now. Looking forward to the next book.

great concept.
I have greatly enjoyed both of the Time Pirate stories. I can only hope Mr.Vall continues much further with these stories. I look forward to many more. I have all Mr Valls books, and enjoy them all very much.

Very good.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, said the poet. Now you can see how it works. This story is full of twist and turns that keep your interest and don't let you down. I think I know who Joe is, so get the next book out and let me see if I am right.

Another fun romp. The plot and characters continue to heat up. Although it seems to AI written, it still is a fun and interesting read. If you are bothered by sex and a harem situation, you should probably skip this.

WOW!
I knew the new boss was bad news when I saw his name! The designer of the watch was Russian so what else was a Russian supposed to do except watch over our hero?

Drawing more interest
Enjoyed the first book, and now that I've read the second one, my opinion has increased dramatically. Let's see how the third one does.

Loved it
This is a good series with a great story arc and the characters seem alive in how they interact with each other and franky is one smooth devil.

Wow can you come up with time pirates as a time travel name? I wonder where it will go from here? It's such a great story.

Great continuation
Great continuation of the series. Getting rid of the rotten boss worked well. His friends being close and able to assist him as needed makes sense.
