The US military has a secret lab that works for its benefits. The lead scientist that works there, Rydel, has created many, many devices that helped the military to be more successful in their missions. But one day, he accidentally discovers something that is hard to believe. He created some form of time travel. Only few people know about this phenomenon and they talk their way around it, what they should do. They used it three times, the last time actually making contact with a person from the past. But as soon as they returned, a huge tsunami killed three thousand people. So that experiment was put on hold until they discover if it was just a coincidence or the Placement caused it.
One year later, Rydel goes to see his sister on her deathbed. She tells him that she received a message from God and that he's the chosen one. He is chosen to save Jesus Christ. So he uses the Placement to do just that.
But the commanding officers, John and Ray, know that changing even something minimal in the past, will cause the loss of many people in the present. That's why they gathered a team to join Rydel and stop him in his intention. Once they arrive, they will face strange powers upon them that will split the group. What will they decide? To save His life or the lifes of those who they promised to guard and protect?
I started this book without any expectations and I was positively surprised. The narration is rich, unique and addicting. Military thriller full of action and adrenaline that will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. You just can't put it down until you find out how this story will end.
This is one of the most interesting and intriguing stories that I've read in a while. The topic that it touches is unusual and controversial, and with that it shows us a different perspective of some things and in my opinion, it gives a great message to the reader.
The characters are with questionable moral since the beginning and throughout the book, but as you read and discover the surroundings, you have no other choice but to put yourself in their shoes. With that you will start to understand their actions more.
Six-time award winner novel that will bring chaos in your mind, same as it is put between the pages. You will remember this story long time after reading it and often catch yourself thinking about the topics that it touches. Fascinating book!
