Area 51: Time Patrol #8
Equinox
What does it take to change history and destroy our reality? Change events on the same date, 22 September, in six different years. The Time Patrol must send an agent back to each day, with just 24 hours for each to defeat the Shadow's plan to disrupt our time-line, creating a time tsunami and wiping our present out.
Fall Equinox comes on 22 September. The time when day and night are in balance.
1862. Abraham Lincoln issues the Emancipation Proclamation. But there are some who want to twist this momentous event into something entirely different.
1692. Eight people are hung for being witches in Salem. But a young girl makes a very bold offer to prevent it, not knowing the potential consequences could change history.
1823. Joseph Smith claims to have found gold plates which would form the basis of a new religion. He did find something; which he was never supposed to see and they must be returned to their rightful owner.
1776. Nathan Hale has but one life to give for his country, but there is a plan to use that life to force George Washington to make a strategic error that will destroy his army.
1948. The Berlin Airlift is keeping the western part of the city alive. But if the slightest thing goes wrong, the Cold War might become very hot.
1947. At Area 51 the first Rift opens. A rip into another dimension and Fireflies come through. In history it was sealed at great cost. But what if the Rift expands?
The Shadow's plan is to disrupt our time-line, creating a time tsunami and wiping our present out.
It is up to the Time Patrol to make sure that doesn’t happen!

About the author
Bob Mayer
219 books47.8k followersBesides my own interests, I read whatever my wife tells me to read-- she's a voracious reader and has wide-ranging tastes as my reviews show (she also always has the TV remote and she's always right about what to watch). I read a lot of nonfiction, mostly for research. Some of my favorite books are Lonesome Dove, Mystic River, LOTR, and an array of science fiction classics including the Foundation series. Our house is covered with books, although I finally broke down and started reading eBooks, strangely enough on my iPhone. Since I carry it pretty much everywhere, it means I always have an entire library of books with me.
I'm a West Point graduate, former Green Beret and a New York Times Bestselling Author. I've sold over five million books. My newest series begins with New York Minute, a thriller set in New York City in 1977.
I love using history and science in my books. My Area 51 series pretty much had me rewriting our entire history of civilization.

Very clever concept, impacted a a strange writing style
Have read the last 6 books of the series back to back and have flip flopped from 3* to 4*. The stories are very clever based on different aspects of history that occur on the same date in different years, effectively giving you 6 short stories in one, all interlinked
As the series progresses the characters become more detailed and you really do begin to care for them, the overarching storyline progresses as each date concludes
The one thing I wish the author would stop doing, is repeating the first part of each storyline, it really is a waste and annoying

If not for the errors, a four star easy...
If not for the grammatical errors and punctuation errors, “Time Patrol: Equinox” would have received a four-star rating. The story was fun, but errors that should have been caught during editing marred the score. On a few occasions, these errors pulled me from the story.

Another great continuation
Are you really awake each new book in the series. It is an interesting and complicated series and I like that The author strives to keep the characters and plotlines simple to understand. The history of each of the novels is phenomenal and educational. The characters of the night stalking team is are great And I look forward to many more stories.

Horrible, after all the Nightstalker and Time Patrol books, not too provide any kind of credible conclusion to all the many many many subplots and loose ends is a horrible insult to all your fans. Bob Mayer is as bad as R.R. Martin. Bob Mayer should give fans that stuck with him through out these multiple volumes a refund. Without any answers these books become meaningless.

It’s greatish
The story was abit bland this ch and the death at the end could’ve been done better with a change in chacther POV thoughts.
