Jericho Johnson: The Gauntlet of Time
Jericho Johnson is a twenty-two year old prodigy who has a master's degree in history, living out his life teaching at a college to students mostly older than him. When he discovers a white gauntlet with the ability to send him through time and space on a freak hiking trip, though, his already abnormal existence gets even more so when he begins traveling to all the wondrous places he had read about. Also, he uses his new gift like anyone else would in 2012 and becomes a billionaire in a few short months as he predicts major, world-changing outcomes and events, keeping the gauntlet a secret while the populace hoists him atop the pantheon of prophets, seers, wizards and the just plain lucky.
Jericho's perfect, time-traveling life is turned upside down when he meets Chloe Sparks, a Russian girl from the year 2340, who tries to tell him that he should stop while he was ahead and give her his precious gauntlet.
But just when Jericho thinks getting pulled over by a future time-cop is all he has to worry about, he meets Klaus, another man from the future who has his own private agenda including, but not limited to, the destruction of Jericho's world and a major Russian takeover.
When the reality hits, Jericho, along with a ragtag group of antiheroes he pulled from several different times, step up to the plate to stop the madman, save the world, everyone in it, and, most of all, time itself.

As a foreword I might say that I really don't like timetravel stories.
But even if I didn't like the setting much and dropped the book halfway thorugh (I can't stand timetravel, really) this book was really nicely written, with nice characters, humor, kung-fu butlers and beautiful girls from the future.
I suppose I might have liked it, if not for the timetravel thing, and that's why the three stars instead of the usual 0 I give to timetravel books.
