Timeslingers Season 1 by Jay Sherer and Nathan Scheck is a series of episodes written in an unorthodox but riveting manner. Fast pacing and powerful hooks will keep the attention of readers from the first page to the last in this genre blend filled with adventure, technology, and science. It seems to be one of those trailblazing pieces of work that will eventually have plenty of copycats, giving it a place in literary history. Although this is classified as genre (and I agree that it is), I think it can also be considered mainstream.
Timeslingers: Season 1 Reviews
-
Timeslingers is an excellent book for any science fiction and time travel fan. Jay Sherer tackles the intricacies of time travel without getting the reader bogged down in the paradoxes. The characters are both believable and likable, a hard combination to come by. It is a fast-paced and easy read, yet the author accomplishes this without dumbing things down. The writing style is crisp, clean, and easy to follow. Timeslingers is well thought out and well edited. It is the kind of book that will have you coming back for more. There is a fair amount of character development, a good measure of action, and some twists and turns thrown in for good measure. This combination makes it hard to put the book down.
For a bit more on the book, the reader is essentially thrown into a world where two factions are battling through time. On the one hand, you have the Xi'an Liberation Society, a group that is trying to change history to favor their own present/future. Attempting to stop them is the Union. Both sides are well-fleshed out and we see interesting characters from both perspectives. As an added bonus, Nathan Scheck's illustrations are excellent. They add to the serial-like feel of Timeslingers.
