Review
"Hang on to your anchors! The Chronothon is a blast--a whirlwind racethrough space and time, where nothing is quite what it seems. Van Coopstackles the action masterfully, carrying the reader from one wildadventure to the next." --Rysa Walker, *Timebound.*
"Van Coops masterfully creates a universe of time travellers at their bestand at their worst. This is how time travel might one day be...oralready has been."***--***time2timetravel.com*
*"I enjoyed reading this book and In Times Like These immensely. Nathan Van Coops has clearly put a lot of thought into his novels, and it's the first time that a time travelling book made me think about space as an issue in addition to time - i.e. will you be at the same location when you travel backwards or forwards in time? After all, our planet moves, the whole universe is on the move! It is not only an exciting page turner, but you can also learn a few things. A great read. I hope for more!" --Readers' Favorite Reviews
From the Author
Welcome to The Chronothon! This book was the most fun I've ever had writing. If you like adventure, with a little bit of romance, history, and some fantastic locations thrown in, this is the book for you. I'm an avid reader of time travel and have never seen this concept tackled, so I was eager to see where the story would take me.Β This book contains moderate profanity and some scenes of intense sci-fi violence, roughly equivalent to a PG-13 film. Appropriate for adult, young adult, and teen readers. Not appropriate for children. Thanks for reading. -NVC
