I grew up reading and watching science and historical fiction. I am also a big baseball fan. I have combined my various passions in the Jigsaw series, which focuses on time-traveling teens thrust into major historical events—many of which never made the standard history books. I was born in New York and now live in Arizona with the love of my life Gwyn. We are both are dog people, and enjoy travel and food—Italian, Asian, Middle Eastern and Indian cuisines in particular.

Another action-packed time-travelling adventure
Having enjoyed the two previous books in the ‘History’s Forgotten’ series, I was looking forward to reading the conclusion, and it didn’t disappoint.
Once again, the narrative weaves through multiple timelines, each with their own challenges and intrigues … Following the failure of Operation Flying Dutchman, Novus Ordo operatives visit the 1990s determined to thwart the formation of the Renaissance Academy. Meanwhile, in 1955, McCarthy and others are looking to ban comic books, by linking the artists to communist activity. The third main timeline takes place in 1961, where a female astronaut program is being launched.
While I found the initial chapters challenging, with the same person existing in different timelines, at different ages, and, at times, with different names, the story quickly finds its stride, with the subsequent timelines much more straightforward. The ending was very unexpected – I’ll have to re-read the books to see if there are any clues 😊
Familiar faces return, with the Temporal Guardians clashing with the Novus Ordo baddies. As with the prior books, there is plenty of action, but this book felt more fleshed-out, with the tension expanded upon during the ‘danger scenes,’ and the dialogue feeling more natural. I particularly liked the funny episodes in 2004, including the idea that a labradoodle could ever be taught to ‘protect’.
Overall, it's a quick read that is likely to appeal to fans of time-travel adventure, including young adults, although there is frequent swearing. This was my favourite book in the series, but I recommend readers start at the beginning so they can keep all the characters straight in their head.
4.5 rounded up to 5.

History’s Forgotten Part III is the final chapter in this informative sojourn to save elements of pop culture, while saving the timeline. My biggest criticism is that it contains vampires and werewolves. It makes it a less serious work, if a time travel book can be considered serious. The characters are all from previous works so there is no learning curve there, which is good as there are so many. Most have several identities, which can be confusing. It was a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.
I question the author’s method of putting the same character, or their ancestors/descendants together in the “room” at the same times, at different points in their own timelines. It is confusing, for one. Not sure how it would work if this were any where near reality. I think there are too many storylines. That also is confusing. I have listed more negatives than positives. This is really a well-thought-out book, filled with information and creativity. Enjoyable read.
I was invited to read a free e-ARC of History’s Forgotten Part III by the author. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #DavidAlynGordon #HistorysForgottenPartIII
