One Helluva Bad Time: The Complete Bad Times Series
ASK ME FOR ANYTHING BUT TIME...By award winning author Chuck Dixon, (Yes, the same Chuck Dixon who co-created the character Bane.)
You don't punch a cocktail waitress around Dwayne Roenbach, not even if you are his wealthy mogul boss.
Unfortunately, said boss got him blacklisted for actions that Dwayne knew were entirely appropriate of a retired US Army Ranger.
Now, a phone call from a mysterious benefactor wants Dwayne to pull together a team to help rescue scientists who are lost.
With the kind of money he's being offered he only asks a couple of questions to make sure the job is legit.
Perhaps he should have asked a few more.
This Epic Adventure spans multiple time periods, gun battles with creatures and people all over the world as well as up and down history as they battle to do what is right.
No matter if Hell is there to greet them in the end.
Bad times or not, these Rangers have no 'quit' in them. Everyone and everything needs to get the hell out of their way.
They have mission(s) to complete.

A FEW QUOTES ABOUT CHUCK
“Chuck is a damn good writer who is really good at hooking you, giving you fun characters, and
telling you one hell of an adventure story.”
Larry Correia, Monster Hunters International, the Grimoir Chronicles
“An intelligent and well thought-out high action time travel story.”
Noah Mullette-Gillman, Luminous and Ominous
“Dixon excels at putting down action, of introducing larger-than-life heroes, kicking them through the

About the author
Chuck Dixon
3,424 books1,025 followersCharles "Chuck" Dixon is an American comic book writer, perhaps best-known for long runs on Batman titles in the 1990s.
His earliest comics work was writing Evangeline first for Comico Comics in 1984 (then later for First Comics, who published the on-going series), on which he worked with his then-wife, the artist Judith Hunt. His big break came one year later, when editor Larry Hama hired him to write back-up stories for Marvel Comics' The Savage Sword of Conan.
In 1986, he began working for Eclipse Comics, writing Airboy with artist Tim Truman. Continuing to write for both Marvel and (mainly) Eclipse on these titles, as well as launching Strike! with artist Tom Lyle in August 1987 and Valkyrie with artist Paul Gulacy in October 1987, he began work on Carl Potts' Alien Legion series for Marvel's Epic Comics imprint, under editor Archie Goodwin. He also produced a three-issue adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit for Eclipse with artist David Wenzel between 1989 and 1990, and began writing Marc Spector: Moon Knight in June 1989.
His Punisher OGN Kingdom Gone (August, 1990) led to him working on the monthly The Punisher War Journal (and later, more monthly and occasional Punisher titles), and also brought him to the attention of DC Comics editor Denny O'Neil, who asked him to produce a Robin mini-series. The mini proved popular enough to spawn two sequels - The Joker's Wild (1991) and Cry of the Huntress (1992) - which led to both an ongoing monthly series (which Dixon wrote for 100 issues before leaving to work with CrossGen Comics), and to Dixon working on Detective Comics from #644-738 through the major Batman stories KnightFall & KnightsEnd (for which he helped create the key character of Bane), DC One Million , Contagion , Legacy , Cataclysm and No Man's Land . Much of his run was illustrated by Graham Nolan.
He was DC's most prolific Batman-writer in the mid-1990s (rivalled perhaps in history by Bill Finger and Dennis O'Neil) - in addition to writing Detective Comics he pioneered the individual series for Robin , Nightwing (which he wrote for 70 issues, and returned to briefly with 2005's #101) and Batgirl , as well as creating the team and book Birds of Prey .
While writing multiple Punisher and Batman comics (and October 1994's Punisher/Batman crossover), he also found time to launch Team 7 for Jim Lee's WildStorm/Image and Prophet for Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios. He also wrote many issues of Catwoman and Green Arrow , regularly having about seven titles out each and every month between the years 1993 and 1998.
In March, 2002, Dixon turned his attention to CrossGen's output, salthough he co-wrote with Scott Beatty the origin of Barbara Gordon's Batgirl in 2003's Batgirl: Year One. For CrossGen he took over some of the comics of the out-going Mark Waid, taking over Sigil from #21, and Crux with #13. He launched Way of the Rat in June 2002, Brath (March '03), The Silken Ghost (June '03) and the pirate comic El Cazador (Oct '03), as well as editing Robert Rodi's non-Sigilverse The Crossovers. He also wrote the Ruse spin-off Archard's Agents one-shots in January and November '03 and April '04, the last released shortly before CrossGen's complete collapse forced the cancellation of all of its comics, before which Dixon wrote a single issue of Sojourn (May '04). Dixon's Way of the Rat #24, Brath #14 and El Cazador #6 were among the last comics released from the then-bankrupt publisher.
On June 10, 2008, Dixon announced on his forum that he was no longer "employed by DC Comics in any capacity."

First the negative: It needs editing. The author has a bad tendency to mix the dialog of two characters in a single paragraph. It took me out of the story while I tried to figure out who was speaking. It cost one star in my rating.
Now onto the good stuff:
This book is actually a collection of stories involving the same cast of characters, and each story builds on the previous one -- almost like sections in a book. Each "section" is a mission involving time travel as well as a conflict with very rich bad guys who want the time travel equipment.
If you're an action junkie, this is the book for you. Dixon keeps his characters in almost constant peril, with bullets and other weapons flying all around them (input and out). And like all mission plans, each one fails upon contact with the enemy; and it hits the fan almost immediately.
I could almost believe in time travel when I read this. I also like the fact that there were limits on the technology which made it even more believable.
The characters are sympathetic, well-developed, and also believable, as well as being kick-ass tough.
After all their adventures, there's still room for more stories at the end.
There's some pretty raw language in the book, but it just makes the military characters more real.

This listing is for the omnibus. I’ve only read book 1 so my review and rating may change in the future.
I’ve been a fan of Chuck Dixon for well over 20 years and feel he’s underrated. He has great stories and creates amazing characters.
I found this series just recently.
Book 1: This one tells the story of a group of scientists who created a time machine and then get lost in the past. It’s left up to a group of friends and ex special forces to go rescue them before it’s too late.
This is a simplistic summary but I don’t want to give away too much. I really enjoyed the story. Full of action and fun. A little more adult language than I prefer but they are soldiers so it can be expected. There’s also a lot of descriptive violence so not for the kiddos.
Book 2: Coming soon.

A slog, didn't work for me
This was a five book set and I bailed at about 40%, partway through the third book. The general writing was OK but was plagued by some unnecessary and repeated irritants. The group is referred to as the rangers and ex-rangers throughout with no attempt to come up with a better name for them. They are the only rangers (or ex-rangers in the books), I would have been satisfied with "Tauber's heroes", "the Gang", "the Mercenaries" or anything else. This is not a tightly bound group and it started to feel that the writer has to remind me that they were ex-military to add drama to their actions.
The rangers were not very impressive. They had scars -great. They had been in the Middle East - fine. They know weapons -ooh! They have a flexible moral code or maybe none at all -surprise me. They were borderline (or not so borderline) criminals - no surprise there. The group has all the stereotypical failings that one expects but no depth or ability to grow and no personality reveals that might make them real people. So the main characters are clowns in camo.
The two scientists and their engineer assistants have less personhood than the ex-soldiers. They are mercenary but stupidly so. They would fit into a lot of science fiction movies from Flash Gordon to interstellar. They have this awesome technology and never question their funding or the uses or the impact of its use on the entire human race. OK at that point, they aren't any different from the Manhattan Project group - though Teller and company were quasi-prisoners. The real annoyance comes with the repeated concern for avoiding temporal contamination which is constantly ignored.
The characters are thin unto uselessness. The action points are pointless. From the first rescue attempt to the last page that I read, they were tension creating (supposedly) scenes that failed to make me care about the fate of the characters. They did highlight weird deficiencies in the characters.
The last ice age is the one that we are currently experiencing. There are warm spells that extend from 44,000 to about 100,000 years across these multi-million year events. I got curious about them, a few months ago and a quick Wiki search surprised me (you want to look at several sources to get a comprehensive understanding of the process that planet scientists theorize at present). No fault with the writer since there are archeologists who create theories of human development, while seemingly blissfully unaware of developments in planet science. I sort of get that even but it's distracting whenever I see the last ice age referenced.
After struggling through hundreds of pages, I'm allowing myself some personal comments. The rangers go into a combat situation underarmed repeatedly. It speaks to the reality that good at personal combat doesn't equal good at mission planning, logistics, air & artillery support, armored direct fire support, equipment and ammunition procurement or even food/medical/clothing/shelter/incidentals. Not having tens of thousands of specialists on call to provide all that support to make it possible to perform their specialty, makes their seeming incompetence reasonable (even the insufficient ammunition load out and no quick fortification of the extraction point) but frustratingly boring. A ranger goes back in time but refused to wear historically accurate clothing (because real men don't wear skirts?). The free use of racial slurs isn't healthy or a good teambuilding practice (it might be common in some units of some armies, I think that it's a dangerous element to include in small group dynamics). There were other flaws but you get the point.
The plots of the individual books were weak and I lost interest in the series plot midway through book 2. I tried to force my way through the series, because I do like to finish books if at all possible (and maybe all that talk of the Ranger Way, started to rub off on me). In the end, I stopped caring about resolution of the different mysteries, possible paradoxes, the final explanation of the multiverse background. It was a boring collection of action scenes, moments of intrigue, the antics of millionaire mercenaries, a stupid sudden romance including pregnancy and weird scientist/non-scientist interactions.

One Helluva good read
This is the complete(so far) six novels of a time war series! It starts in the Nevada desert with early man tribes in places where they shouldn't be ,but have gold up the wazoo! Which comes into the story s little later when the guy paying for everything decides to close down an experiment this then causes more adventures in the past from 1976 all the way to 70 million B.C. Where the neatest ambush is arranged with a loch Ness monster and a few great whites in the 40 foot range all while carrying out a mission in 1860s china! Hard to put down but IT IS 6 novels and does take some time up reading but with Chinese bat virus around great way to keep entertained!

Great Series Arc
I have to say this was a great anthology! I appreciate it when multiple plot lines are woven together when the author keeps the track flowing and doesn't uses shift it another character to get out of the voter they painted themselves in. Chuck does an exception of keeping multiple storylines working across time keeping you interested in all the characters. Once again great sci-fi series with action and adventure that will keep you turning pages late into the evening.

Great series
Chuck Dixon, writer of the best badass gun-totting comics for decades, plays out a childhood fantasy of throwing all of your toys from every period into a crazy cross-time fight. He joyfully takes a poke at the SJW crowd that nearly ran him out of comics by putting together as diverse and multicultural a cast as ever seen in action fiction (including two gay Iranians who love Celene Dion) and pumps out tough, visceral action. Fantastic work.

Very Good Military Time Travel Story
Dixon has an excellent knowledge of history which he puts to work in this five book series featuring a tight-knit band of Of ex-soldiers, scientists and refugees from the past, all trying to foil the dastardly plans of a megalomaniac to bend history to his own nefarious end. Good writing, good action, strong characters. Eventually bogs down toward the end, but quite the ride!

Borders on 4-stars; definitely not 5-stars
This is a LONG, 6-story book, that continues on and on and on and on. Yes, it is about Time Travel, but there’s very little SciFi, and fewer of the dinosaurs promised by the initial cover’s art work. But there is blood-and-guts fighting, fighting, fighting; the latter is pretty much the only continuous theme throughout the entire series.

Impressed
I’m fairly certain that at authors have to do research for books they’re writing, but the overall scope of these books had to have taken a prodigious amount of it. And very well done besides. I learned more about history in this series than in all my years of formal education. Great job, Chuck!

Excellent adventure through time.
I loved the action and attention to detail through all the stories in this book of should I say collection. I hated when it ended and would love as Pima Jim say go back for more. This book is great for any one who likes action, history and can over look some blood and guts. Give me more time travel mr. Dixon.

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect but what a great time! I surely hope the author continues this series as I have grown quite fond of the characters and there is literally all the time in the world to choose from... Please do yourself a favor and read this new take on time travel. I am a physicist and a teacher and from a military family, this series hit all of those tick boxes for me!

Bloody great read!
Action packed, die-hard, cussin' Rangers and friends mixed in a mad cocktail with science needs and sexy women that just happened to be time traveling through some wildly varied eras and eons! Besides a great fast-paced tale, the amount of research this author did is truly impressive. Hope we haven't seen the end of this series!

Awesome read!
Loved the entire series, felt like I was part of every story and on the Ocean Raj and time traveling with team. Only down side is I wanted more but it had to end :-(. Definitely recommend to anyone that loves action and time-travel with a little bit of history and humor mixed in.

"Oh Baby, where 've you been?" ( or better yet, When have you been!)
Ok. I'm all into this. BUT (always a but, right?) I had to break it up into sections. I couldn't read the whole set one right after the other. No wired like that.
I love the tale, the timeline(s), the action, the fights. Go get them and Read!

Furious
I thought these six books were the whole series! Doh, there's more. Real page turner, the action is exciting, sometimes hair raising, but gallops along at a fair pace, can't wait for the next one.

Left in Suspense!
Awesome, exciting, thrilling, funny, edge-of-your-seat suspence, gripping, anticipation, relief and downright dangerous. And, yes, the author ended the story with you saying to yourself, " Oh, no! ".

Excellent series
I can’t wait to read more about the time traveling adventures by this group. Who else will they meet and probably kill?

I didn’t finish this. I made it a little ways in and kept trying, but it’s pretty bad. I guess if you want fully cliched army guys shooting and killing like crazy, it might be okay for you.

Review
This is one of the best books I’ve read in a while. Normally I’m not into time travel novels, but this was fun.

Fast moving, interesting characters and tech. Felt like there should be further stories with the same characters. Dixon seems to be well read history buff

Good books
I really liked the first 4 books. Books 5&6 were just okay. And I strongly disliked the ending! Characters were well written.
