Future Fortune
The job title “theoretical physicist” conjures up images of old men, disheveled hair, and brown orthopedic shoes. Professor Steve West though, is different. With his cinematic good looks, genius IQ, and obsession with history, it’s easy to understand why the federal government chose him to lead their top-secret time travel project, which for some unknown reason boasts a four-star review on Yelp. But a fanatic will soon alter the space-time continuum, and change the history of a nation forever. A villain so self-centered that he writes checks in the supermarket and wears white after Labor Day. Now, it’s up to Steve West and his team to track this villain down, bring him to justice, and restore temporal equilibrium, all before the breakfast burritos kick in. Can they pull it off?

Well, this is disappointing. Not even past the first chapter and I’m packing it in.
1. Smack in the middle of an ‘escape’ sequence, one of the main characters stops for cake. He stops to take a plate of cake and eat a bite—with a fork no less. This isn’t witty. This isn’t daring. This is ridiculous.
2. Even worse, the deal breaker came on the next page. One character upends a barrel of COOKING OIL and the other main character throws a lit twist of newspaper into the pool that forms. Then, in the words of the author himself: "Flames quickly developed, and the entire dock became a sea of fire." COOKING. OIL. 🤦♀️ Paper burns at....huh...."Fahrenheit 451". A quick google search for accuracy reveals that the flash point of cooking oil is well over 500°F.
And that’s that. This many problems in the first few pages and I’m out. Too many authors out there who care enough to get things right to waste time on those who don’t.

A fun read!
A fun story. I only have one question. How did Victoria know what a " Four Speed " was? I enjoyed the story very much and I hope that the dog recovers.

Funny time travel adventure; a bit of a mind twister, but all loose ends tied up

This book did start off slow, but it really got going. I wish there had been more between Samantha and Steve. We will see what happens in book two. Recommended.

The way I would sum up this book is "fun". Interesting characters, well researched, and a great twist at the end. I am looking forward to book 2.

A little simplistic but lots of fun
Was a fun read- Martin was obviously going to be a problem and someone as smart as Steve should have been onto to him sooner
