Gauntlet: Book One of the Phoenix Cycle

by John G. Doyle

Time travel, the power sought after and craved by everyone and held by none. Until now. Not only is time travel very real to Jericho, he’s used it in the usual ways one would expect—getting rich, predicting world-changing events and, more importantly, traveling to whenever he chooses just for kicks. But just when he thinks his secret is safe, he discovers two other time travelers. One politely wants him to stop while he’s ahead. The other wants to end time as we know it and bring the planet to the brink of destruction. So, no pressure.

I can not like this book enough now I have to get the rest of them. Love it!!

Rounded up to a 4. It was an interesting writing style. Which ends up getting explained at the end of the book, as the main character recording his life up till that point. I wished the author would have explained that the character was doing that in the beginning. The ending was definitely a cliff hanger. Will be moving on to the second book.

Enjoyable

Loved the writing style. Enjoyed the main character, love interest was a little boring. I really likes the time travel and would love more stories in the past than the future. Overall good quick read, moving onto the next book.

3.5, rounded up. There are some suuuper cringey parts, but it's a fun story, interesting writing style and I can definitely say I'll read the next one because the ending was an effective cliffhanger.

I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi, but this was really entertaining. It should be made into a movie or TV series. I can't wait to start the next book in the series!
