Set in the Reacher Universe by permission of Lee Child Rock Wahlman… Former Navy Master-At-Arms, Jack Reacher’s genetic duplicate, produced from a blood specimen that was drawn over a hundred years ago. Recently recruited by a secret government agency called the FCYYC (the Federal Commission on Yesteryears and Years to Come), Wahlman is now a time-traveling operative, performing missions designed to protect Reacher from a faction called Topple—a rogue group of criminals determined to alter the past in an effort to make the future more profitable for themselves. Intent on traveling to 1994 and stopping Topple from destroying Reacher’s blood specimen, Wahlman soon has plans for a new life with his wife and stepdaughter—strategies for a future that will not include the FCYYC. Unfortunately, the FCYYC has strategies for a future that will not include Wahlman… Before being recruited as Jack Reacher’s time-traveling bodyguard, Rock Wahlman got chased and shot at and beat some bad guys senseless in The Reacher Experiment series of thrillers.

Rock Wahlman is on another mission to ensure the blood sample Reacher unknowingly gave to create an identical clone, actually Wahlman and many others is in danger of being destroyed. This will terminate him as well as all the clones. The problem is he is being used, lied too, even by his own partner. They initially wanted to terminated him. But they have decided to use time travel and he is transported to Arizona in the 1800's. And to make make worse his memory is completely wiped free. His wife and daughter are also transported there. But they wouldn't no who Rock is if they walked right past him. Another excellent read in this series. Non stop action, betrayal it's for it all!! Enjoyed immensely!!
For plot and action this is a great fire Star book. For the plot of all this time travel as much damage as done in the past is unlikely that they have not already affected the new time.Can’t wait to see what Reacher does in the old wes. He too big and slow to be a gunslinger.
Hardin’s books have a different take on time travel verses Heldt. In Heldt’s stories you could visit yourself at an earlier age and changes just become different time streams. In Hardin’s stories there is only one time stream, thus the fear of the clones becoming dust. At least the goal is accomplished in this Story, and no more topple,
Wow! There I was thinking I could follow these episodes and suddenly more than time is twisting. A four dimensional roller-coaster which just refuses to rest anywhere anytime.
A surprisingly short story that bridges the gap between Timetream 3 and the next book in the series Drifter... I expected more of a story to round out Timestream 3. The shortness was underwhelming!
Maybe I was expecting more from this character stream because the previous ones were so good. I guess I just was not prepared for such an outlandish storyline of time traveling espionage.
I enjoyed it. Great engagement for such a short read but I am hoping there is a fourth installment to answer some of my lingering questions about this unbelievable ending.
I love Jack Reacher books. The original one and Diane Capri’s spinoffs. This series of three books is a sci-fi spinoff. If you are a sci-fi time travel fan, you should enjoy this series.
