The Lost Pulse combines fast and furious black ops action against unrelenting terrorist foes. Plus part of the action is the Pulse, a six-person time travel device that is the secret to the battle against the terrorists. Keep in mind this is book two of the series and there's a big learning curve to catch up with the characters and plot line.

Second book in time travel series

This is the second book in this series after FOUND IN TIME. I actually enjoyed this book more than the first.

The world is going to he'll with attack after attack by terrorists killing and injuring hundreds of men, women and children. The new U.S. President has given the top secret BOTM program (Black Ops Time Machine) carte blanche to try to end these attacks.

There are most of the characters from book one in this thriller plus a few new faces. There was lots of action and questions arise on what's considered justice and what's considered vengeance.

This is still not a deep sci fi book with actual explanations for how the time travel works but it is a quick, enjoyable read.

I received this book from Amazon Publishing through Net Galley in the hopes that I would read it and leave an unbiased review.

It is not often that I request a book that I feel less than satisfied reading. This book, however, does fall into that category. Let me suggest three reasons that I find this book less than satisfying.

First, though written as a political drama, it also is a work of science fiction. I do occasionally enjoy a science fiction title, but not often. This title fell short of catching my interests. When I discovered this, I was tempted to put the book down - though I continued to read.

Second, the author is a strong conservative and supporter of gun rights. Though I write my reviews as a conservative-evangelical Christian, I have a difficult time supporting the positions normally held by the NRA as this author appears to do. When I discovered this, I was tempted to put the book down - though I continued to read.

Finally, I found the book served more like a brick than as an inviting story. Though this issue would not prevent me from reading more, when combined with the two previous issues, it was at this point (one-third of the way through the book) that I decided to set the book aside and move onto other reading material.

I recognize that all three of these reasons for finding this book less enjoying than I hoped are very personal. The book does have a hint of Christian theology, though it is not intentionally written from that perspective. The characters do seem real and face real-life problems on a daily basis. There will be readers that would find the book satisfying. I have friends who will find this book more to their liking than this reader. They enjoy science fiction, they support (some strongly) the NRA, and they enjoy a deep story as much as I do.

This book may be for others, it was not for me.
