My first thought on this book is what a unique premise it had! It's basically about time travel into the past (called a timesplash), changing something there, and then enjoying the chaos that occurs when history works to right itself. While this was first done in small jumps with limited chaos, it was basically one big party. But when Sniper, one of the bricks (that's what they call the actual time traveler), goes back further and further, creating more and more chaos, it changes from a party to terrorist activity. Whole cities are leveled, and Sniper's next splash is going to go back further than anyone ever has before, and will cause even more damage when he returns. Enough to level London, in fact. Everyone is working furiously to find Sniper before he can make the jump, including Sandra (Sniper's ex who was emotionally scarred from what happened during one of their splashes), and Jay, a cop whose friend was killed during the chaos left after one of Sniper's splashes. What ensues is a race against the clock to locate and stop Sniper before a whole lot of people die.

This was a unique and interesting story, well written and action packed. I enjoyed it very much.

4/5 stars.

This is set 16 years after the original book in the series and the past that Sandra and Jay thought they had left behind them comes back with a vengeance. Set in 2066 it's an interesting view of what the world might be like, especially in the light of the current political affairs.

I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in the series. It's exciting and a page turner.

In the future time travel is possible, if only for an hour or so. The problem is that there seems to be an auto correct installed in the time line and any changes made are corrected. However, the correction process can be rather violent and disastrous for the present and this is called a timesplash. It's so destructive that it's the weapon of choice for terrorists.

This book is like most thrillers with the good guys trying to stop the bad guys from doing something very very bad. Of course it all comes down to the wire with time running out. Plus when there is the chance to just shoot the head baddy they don't take the shot.

This is an interesting read and potentially a good series set in the future, where anything could happen.
