TimeWars: Manifest Destiny
When Bill Gross, the Nobel-prize winning CEO of Idealab—a pioneering technology incubator in Pasadena, CA—teams up with the head of the Caltech Theoretical Physics Department, Dr. Paul Sinclair, to develop a next-generation quantum computer, they stumble upon the greatest discovery in human history: time travel. As they begin experimenting with time travel, they quickly learn that Earth is facing the threat of imminent attack. Using their newly developed time travel technology, the unlikely team of quantum physicists and high tech entrepreneurs must devise a plan to address the impending invasion by the most dominant civilization in the universe.
With the help of the United States Special Forces, DARPA, the President and some extraordinary men from Earth’s past, their team must travel between the past, present and future to find technologies and allies that can help them save the world in 2015. But altering timelines to save the future yields unexpected results…

Fantastic
Great job done with the story. The first few chapters are a little rough for a layman but after that the story is gripping. Great job, great variation of time travel story.

I don't know if you call the ending a cliffhanger... or just begging for a sequel. LOVE. IT.

The further you got in the book, the more implausible it got. I've read plenty of time travel Sci-Fi books. This one's plot line got stranger and stranger the further in the book you got. Also, the character selection and how they got utilized was a bit on the ridiculous side. Finally, if you're looking for a conclusion, it leaves you at a cliffhanger that implies another book (or books), but it appears that the author either did not complete the series, or did it outside of Amazon because I can't find subsequent tomes, even if I wanted to read it or them. Fortunately for me, I obtained this on a free book offer. Glad I didn't pay for it. I got the corresponding value. My recommendation....walk away.

A must read...... Trust me
I was looking for something to read, and I was thinking of taking a break from the SciFy genre when I read the tease for the book.
I took a chance and read one of the most fascinating stories I ever found.
Try it, I think you'll like it

***I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***
This book is a big bag of mixed emotions for me. On the one hand, I am a HUGE fan of Time Travel books of any sort but this one was all over the place and a bit slow. The world building and character development were pretty good but could have been better. The science is really detailed, which I love, but could be a bit overwhelming to others. I'm hoping the next books delve a bit more into the enemies and the allies, I understand that they just met these people but there is no sort of groundwork or foundation. The writing is good but nothing exceptional. The cliffhanger ending redeemed the slogging semi-boredom and made me curious to see where the series will be going...BUT...with my imposing, ever growing, TBR list increasing at an alarming rate each day, I don't know if I will actually keep up with the series after all.

I had the honour of editing this fascinating debut novel from author Jason Fairchild. I was immediately struck by the book's unique tone and the amount of detail it contains.
Ever a fan of Arthur C. Clarke, Peter F. Hamilton and other greats, as a reader I am choosy when it comes to science fiction. So if I tell you to read this book because it's really good, I MEAN IT.
TimeWars: Manifest Destiny is well-crafted, with a steady pace and fun characters. Using remarkably plausible science and technology and mixing it with a creative spin on the concept of time travel, bringing in some awesome characters from actual history and blending it with a group of unlikely heroes, Fairchild has started something here. I'm personally hoping for a sequel in the not-too-distant future.
Believe me when I say, this book is well worth your time.

I have become a big fan of his Jason Fairchild's work. I really like science fiction books and it's a genre that I have gotten into lately. I find that some authors are better at this style than others and Jason Fairchild's books have proven themselves time and time again. I liked this one because it featured time travel. Some time traveling books can be a little cheesy, but this one was done in a way that was realistic and interesting. Bill Gross and Dr. Paul Sinclair get together and are working on the next-generation of a computer. However, they accidentally discover time travel and realize the benefits of it. Through the time travel, they discover earth is taking in an attack. They have to do everything that they possibly can to stop the attack and save the civilians. This book is very fast-paced and exciting.

The book started off strong and the details the author gives behind the technology seemed plausible while reading it. I'm not a physicist by any means but have a pretty good base of knowledge behind science in general. The characters were likeable also. The last third of the book however moved very quickly and seemed to jump around instead of give details to the reader as to what or why the characters were doing what they were doing. There was also a glaring reason as to why their future changed that the author didn't address at all which wouldn't have effected the characters decisions except to provide some clarity.
