Life II

Have a few regrets? Wish you could make some changes in your life? Think back to one event in your timeline you remember with clarity. Now, step back into yourself during that specific event and live your life again with all of your present day knowledge. That is the premise of Scott Spotson’s Life II.

Max Thorning uncovers an ancient book, Account of Time Travel on Earth Using Wave Theory, by Medicus Tempus (Doctor Time). Max uncovers hidden messages in the text and decodes them to reveal the whereabouts of the mysterious Dr. Time. Little does Max realize that Dr. Time will change his life and the lives of the people he loves forever.

In a tantalizing account, Spotson creates a thought provoking tale that will keep readers riveted and their minds churning about the potential of Max’s time travel experience. Life II is a worthwhile read for any book lover.

Where in your life would you go?

Bridge Through Time

Bridge Through TimeKyle Thorning is a brilliant young physicist working as a researcher at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research where scientists probe the fundamental structure of the universe. Kyle’s secret project is to create a time travel machine.

Why the interest? Kyle’s dad, Max Thorning discovered a book, Account of Time Travel on Earth Using Wave Theory, and gave it to his son as a way to cope with his ADHD. The book led Max to Dr. Time, a seemingly benign alien and his Time Weaver device that sent 42 year-old Max back in time to his 16-year-old self to relive an unfulfilled life in Life II. This action created a rift in time and an alternate universe.

Throughout his life, Kyle felt he didn’t belong, so he made it his life’s goal to find out why. Thrown into the mix is an alien species, The Darsian. These intelligent creatures with four arms, four legs, and no head make first contact with humans on April 30, 2011, an event Max Thorning knows never to have happened in his previous life. The Darsians offer miracles that eliminate millions of deaths per year, but was the price worth it?

Writer Scott Spotson, author of Life II and now its sequel, Bridge Through Time does an amazing job of creating an alternate universe with believable characters, beautiful settings, and a plot that moves breathlessly until the spine tingling climax.

I had a difficult time closing my Kindle version of Bridge Through Time to perform my own writing tasks. As the author of The Koolura Series, I know how important it is to weave key events from the previous books into the new to keep readers abreast of the other novels in the series. Spotson does a superb job at this.

Spotson also shows Kyle’s ADHD with all of the psychological ramifications and idiosyncrasies that the disorder has on an adult male. Though the author tries to avoid too much scientific jargon, the little he uses is explained so any layman can understand. Now I wonder if a time machine will be invented during my lifetime.

Bridge Through Time is an exciting sci-fi read containing all the elements that will keep Spotson’s audience at the edge of their seats.
