In Times Like These A Time Travel Adventure eBook Nathan Van Coops
I've not read a Time Travel adventure quite like this one before. It covers a timespan of no more than 25 recent years, and occurs for the most part (with notable exceptions) in the state of Florida, the home of the five accidental travelers. Their mentor, Dr. Harold Quickly, has apparently taken Time Travel far beyond the theoretical to develop the science and mechanics for practical application. The author did well in combining this imaginative science within a story of reachable scope. We get to know these likeable characters and might picture ourselves in the same circumstances. Hopefully, we'd do as well. The dialogue is smart, fun, and realistic, and their reactions -- ranging from bewildered to analytical to damned determined -- develop credibly in taxing circumstances. The writing is smooth and enjoyable, and the first person narrator's occasional asides and quiet thoughts can be humorous and insightful.But who would have imagined that Time Travel could be so complicated and dangerous? Dr. Quickly advises in one of his many choice bits of wisdom, that spacing is almost as important as timing. "It's no use showing up right on time if you fuse your leg through the coffee table." Good point, and if that's not enough to capture a neophyte's attention, this surely will be: "There are thousands of ways to get yourself killed time traveling. Being in a hurry is the fastest way to find a new one."
I will warn that readers need to pay close attention. Sometimes I found myself having to go back to sort out the science and fast action. Why do they need what? How did they wind up here? But not to worry. With a little effort you'll find that the details are there and add up nicely.
I understand this novel is the first in a series, though I found it to be complete and satisfying in itself with a great ending. I look forward to the next volume from Nathan Van Coops.

In Times Like These A Time Travel Adventure eBook Nathan Van Coops Reviews
If you like time travel, this is the book for you! There are so many twists that you ALMOST get lost. Notice I said almost.
The blurb gives you the basics. Additionally There is a kindly gentleman, named Dr. Quickly, who teaches the accidental travelers HOW to travel. However, they don't get all the training they need. This leads them on a twisted trip trying to get home. 'nuff said on that.
This author must have done a good deal of research on this topic, it shows in the writing. The explanation of the conundrums about time travel (paradoxes, fractal time lines, etc) is well thought out. I'll admit that I had to read some of them twice, but after thinking about it, it made perfect sense. They could not have been said any simpler, I just had a hard time due to the nature of the topic. That's just me.
The writing was eloquent and well thought out. It seems clear that the author outlined the book and then filled in the rest. The dialog was natural and flowed well. (No filler dialog just to make the word count higher.) What also surprised me was that it was edited so well. I didn't find any errors, and that says something, because I'm pretty fussy about that. The writing is concise, yet you get just enough detail to feel you're there.
All in all, this is a great adventure that keeps you interested throughout. Fun and enjoyable. I look forward to reading the sequel!
In recent years I had taken a hiatus from reading in one of my early favorite genres time travel. It was almost as though I was on a time trip myself and awoke to discover a whole new generation of writers tackling the subject. For his part, Nathan Van Coops does an admirable job in keeping up this grand tradition of involving readers in the adventures to be found by tripping to the past or future and letting their imaginations soar for a while from the familiar, mundane world of the present. With a group of his ball-playing friends, Benjamin (Ben) Travers is transported by a freak lighting storm from the year 2009 all the back to 1986 where he meets up with Dr. Harold Quickly, the doctor’s cute-as-a-button time-traveling daughter Mym, the grandfather (Mr. Cameron) of one of Ben’s teammates, a vicious serial killer and many other characters caught up in this well-told tale. “In Times Like These” is the first part of a trilogy by the same name and it shows promise not only for the trilogy but also for any other works the author might pursue. Well-written, technical (but not too much so) and suspenseful, I highly recommend this book to all fans of the time travel novel.
