J.B. (jbmanas) | 29 comments Hi all, I thought those in this forum might be interested in a new time travel thriller I've written with co-author Edward Miller, The Kronos Interference. To our delight, the book received a starred review in Kirkus Reviews and debuted on the Amazon bestseller lists for Alternate History and Technothrillers. It's been described as "Crichton meets Hitchcock."

Here's a summary of the book:
--------------------------------------

How far would you go to save the world?

When physicist Jacob Newman is pulled from his family, his job, and his whole life to investigate a strange vessel discovered at the bottom of the South Pacific, he finds evidence of time travel, along with implications that a judgment day against mankind is imminent. But it isn’t until he cracks the time travel technology and uncovers a startling link to his own family history that he undertakes a dangerous mission back to 1924 to kill Adolf Hitler and undo a horrific episode of Earth’s violent past. The results are catastrophic, and soon he discovers much darker forces working against him—forces he must overcome if he hopes to save humanity and see his family again.

Written in the vein of the late Michael Crichton, James Rollins, and similar authors who inject high concept plots with little-known historical facts and a touch of cutting-edge science, The Kronos Interference offers international intrigue, fast-paced action, and plenty of twists and turns. The book received the coveted starred review from Kirkus Reviews, who called it "impressively original" and a "tour de force."

Welcome to the group J.B. Your book has an exciting synopsis.

J.B. (jbmanas) | 29 comments Thanks, Amy and Tej! Glad to have discovered the group, and already I'm seeing a wealth of new books I'll have to check out.

By the way, I failed to mention that The Kronos Interference is the first in a planned trilogy. We're already busy on the second book. I'm finally getting around to reading Stephen King's new one, so I'm looking forward to that as well!

Just started reading this, on chapter 6 now. I'm really enjoying the setup and exposition, and loving the fringe science mystery.

I have always been fascinated with the bizarre god-like nature of quantum mechanics. The double slit experiment, entanglement, superposition, etc. Its like the universe is a foundation for magic after all. Real proven science yet so bizarre and to date unexplainable. Anyway, on with the book....

J.B. (jbmanas) | 29 comments Wow, thanks so much for the thoughtful and elaborate reviews, Tej and Amy! Not only is it much appreciated, but the reviews will really help readers get a feel for what the book is and isn't. I appreciate the candidness too, which I think people always find more credible. And for the time you took to digest the book and write such an impactful review. Sometimes I think it's harder to write a review than a book. :-)
