With 4 months to make it to a Backlash zone (a safety component within the Time Machine that may transport him back to the future), Calvin struggles to overcome slavery, futuristic hit-men, and the demons inside of him that will not allow him to love and appreciate the people who are indispensable to his survival, his humanity and the victory of his journey.

Time Jack Reviews

  • Divine G.

    Time Jack by John Whitfield is a page turner and an awesome read. The essence of the story addresses the question, Can you imagine being a black person living in America in the 1830s at the height of slavery with the mentality and attitude you currently have?

    This high intensity action adventure time travel novel fuses fact with fiction to thrust readers into a fast-paced world where modern mentalities clash with ancient attitudes to form an explosive encounter that will either enlighten or extinguish the characters. Aside from its gripping story, the narrative was developed to give readers the opportunity to put themselves in the shoes of someone who has an attitude like theirs, but is transported to a time where such an attitude could bring about their instant demise.

    I can also see that the author's over-riding aim from the start was to help readers better understand that mentalities and attitudes of people are dictated by time, places and circumstances, and when mentalities and attitudes are out of place, it will lead to some very interesting and thought provoking interactions. I can also see that the author realized that people don’t like being preached to, so it was vital for him to wrap up the life lessons with an empowering, provocative, and vivid story.
