Chasing Time

by Travis Hill

A snarky, cynical government operative is sent back in time to 5th century France, during the reign of Clovis and the Frankish Empire.

His mission: to find and eliminate Dr. Barnard Jameson, a rogue scientist, before history can be significantly altered.

Finding Bertric, aka Dr. Jameson, was the easy part. Eliminating the smirking, pudgy little scientist proves to be a lot harder than he expected.

I picked the book because I was intrigued by the villain, I'd like to see how mad the scientist was portrayed. This book humanizes the villain, however, so I sympathized with him and it was hard to decide who to root for (the protagonist or antagonist?), to the point I almost felt cheated because the moment the main character made peace with the villain, then there would be no more opposition/conflict left; the story automatically ends itself (felt a bit anti-climatic). Also, since I received about 300 pages PDF file, it was confusing and a bit frustrating when I read some 100 pages of it and found that the story was closing to an end (maybe I'd feel more closure if there's only 1 story in the file).

The protagonist is okay, I like his quirks although sometimes his pessimism is irritating. I'm not sure I like the sidekick (General Volusus); his presence is distracting. I don't know his contribution to the story besides laughing at the protagonist's jokes. I thought he was the romantic interest of the protagonist, but their relationship isn't fleshed out (even if they're only going to be friends, I expect more chemistry in the text).

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Another time travel tale which had me thinking in circles, which is always a good sign.

Interesting journey into the past, circa 400AD for the escaped scientist, and for the spec-ops guy sent to retrieve or, rather harshly, eliminate him.

All in all, enough intrigue and twists, good character insights, humour and adventure to keep the pages turning rapidly.

I will undoubtedly be reading more from this author. Well worth a read.
