Time Wars Last Forever #3
Fragmented Time: Time Wars Last Forever, Book 3
Time is tearing apart. The Earth and every soul on it are not just gone -- they never even existed. Jon Ryan's hopes of pulling off yet another miracle are evaporating like drops of rain on hot desert sands. His improbable team that has to work together by all rights should have no chance of doing so. There's an astronomer forced to become the reluctant commander-in-chief. A young academic must captain a cantankerous alien ship that is Jon's only shot at victory. A college student who communes with the dead learns she is mysteriously the key to any potential success. And Sapale is a held prisoner by the most arrogant and malevolent race of time masters imaginable. There is no way matters can get worse for Jon. But that's simply because things are as bad as they can be. And somewhere in time and space hides the last time ship of the alien clan that began the time war, commanded by a stark-raving lunatic. If our heroes can find and destroy that threat, there is no way they can proceed with their mission of reanimating the lost Earth. Oh, boy. Follow the action as Jon needs to be more clever than he ever has been. More clever than he has any right to be. He's had dark hours before to be certain. But he might just have run into an unbeatable set of obstacles that will end his lucky streak, not to mention his life. If you're a fan of the Ryanverse, you'll need to read Fragmented Time. Hurry, before there's no time left at all.

About the author
Craig A. Robertson
75 books181 followersThe Seven Lives of Craig A. Robertson
Dr. Craig A. Robertson is a physician and the author of more than forty-five published science fiction novels. Getting there, however, was anything but a typical path.
His first life was that of a shoe salesman. This "profession" helped him to work his way through college. His first experience was at Kinney Shoes. leveling up to Sears, and eventually became a shoe manager at Montgomery Ward. All three companies later went bankrupt. Not. His. Fault. But he did meet his wife, Karen, at Sears, which made working there most rewarding.
His second life embraced the physical sciences. A childhood fascination with astronomy led him to UC Berkeley. However, he eventually switched to geophysics after realizing that astronomers spent an inordinate amount of time alone on cold, remote mountaintops. Somewhere along the way, physical science gave way to his true passion: medicine.
For his third life he
became a doctor. Medical school and residency were like being sentenced to an abusive gulag, but they provided two lasting benefits. First, he learned that nothing he encountered afterward would ever be harder. Second—and rather more importantly—he got to be a doctor.
His career began in academic medicine, when he became a professor of Emergency Medicine at a Level One Trauma Center. That was followed by yet another incarnation, this time as a research immunologist at UC Davis, where his work included a cloned antibody directed against human melanoma cells and research into primary biliary cirrhosis.
Eventually, Craig settled into the life of a practicing physician. But somewhere among patients, science, family, and all those previous incarnations, another life crept onto the scene.
He became a science fiction writer.
More than forty-five novels later, Craig spends a psychiatrically questionable amount of time destroying planets, rebuilding civilizations, tormenting his delicious evil villains, and making Jon Ryan traverse the universe ... forever.
It seems doubtful, given his past inclinations, that seven lives will be enough for Craig A. Robertson.

Every character has the same personality, jarring.
The plot just keeps twisting for the sake of it with increasing nonsense because an idea popped into the withers head without any plan for it.

Jon splits up to find a way to retime earth, while the crew of the time ship tries to kill all the time ships. He get's captured by some very powerful beings while the time ship crew takes out all but one of the time ships.

Just rambling, with carbon copy characters with annoying attempts at the same snippy humour over and over and over and over again.
I have enjoyed other Ryanverse books but this time war series is sub par.
