Resonance

by Cole Seger

Centuries after war and plague have reduced Earth to a single city ruled by the powerful RSR Corporation, time travel has become humanity's last resource - not to change history, but to exploit it. Chase Hale, along with his partner Sonya Everly, risks his life harvesting the prehistoric past to sustain a dying future, until a shocking discovery reveals RSR's true control, not survival. Betrayed and stranded sixty-six million years in the past, Chase hides a desperate message across time - a message that reaches a modern-day paleontologist, Dr. Kaleb Benter, and sets off a chain of events that collapse the boundaries between past, present, and future. As destinies intertwine and timelines converge, one truth whoever controls time controls the fate of humanity.

About the author

I’m a father of three who loves sharing adventures with my family. We enjoy traveling, staying active, and making the most of every experience together. Resonance is my debut novel, born from an idea that first took shape nearly fifteen years ago and has stayed with me ever since. Bringing this story to life was a long-held goal, and a deeply rewarding journey. I hope readers enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Review for Resonance

This was a very interesting book. I enjoyed it very much. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys time travel theory and dinosaurs..

[Adam Marketing · Rating 5 out of 5]

Resonance is a thrilling blend of high-concept science fiction and relentless suspense. The idea of time travel used to mine the past is brilliantly original, and the shifting timelines are handled with precision and clarity. Chase Hale is a compelling, flawed hero whose betrayal raises the stakes to an emotional and existential level. The parallel storyline with Dr. Kaleb Benter adds depth and momentum, turning the mystery into a race against time itself. Smart, cinematic, and thought-provoking, this is a standout sci-fi thriller that will keep readers hooked until the final page.

This is the first indie book I’ve read on kindle Unlimited and I must say it was an absolute joy!

A corporate controlled dystopian future (akin to the Waylan Corp in the Alien franchise) monopolizing time travel as a means of societal control is a really fun basis for a story.

Main characters are solid action heroes.

Who doesn’t love dinosaurs? In fact, I would loved to had seen more dinosaurs, but again, solid story on its own.

Everything I thought was going to happen got tossed out the window for crazy twist and turns I didn’t see coming! (Although I’m not the best at predicting endings)

Segar definitely put a lot of love into his book and it shows on every page. There’s a short build up to the meat of the story but once the action starts it doesn’t stop!

Read this book! Read this book! READ THIS BOOK!

Also, I want a sequel.

This book was fantastic

I enjoyed this book immensely. The plot and the way the author presented it kept me ingrossed in the book for many hours that I should have been sleeping. I would recommend it. I can't wait to read the next in the series.

Resonance is an outstanding read—fast-paced, imaginative, and impossible to put down. The concept is gripping, the world-building is strong, and the tension stays high from start to finish. I truly enjoyed every part of the story. Excellent work!
