Ben just wants time with the scientist’s daughter who got him into this, but when he’s rooked into competing in a chronothon–an Amazing Race through time–getting the girl means he’ll need to make the finish line. When he finds out this competition is more than just a sprint through history, winning takes a back seat to surviving.

The Chronothon A Time Travel Adventure eBook Nathan Van Coops
Ben's time travel adventures continue with Mym, his favorite lady, playing a crucial background role. This time, he finds himself being maneuvered into participating in a rigged and highly unethical intergalactic time travel competition, one for which he is particularly untrained.In terms of well developed characters and an intricate story line that never falls apart, this book was pure pleasure to read. None of Ben's St Petersburg friends come along on this adventure so there are a full cast of new characters and a lot of time loops with subsequent ramifications that follow. As an experienced time travel reader, I enjoyed the challenge of keeping up. For newbies, I say just go with it and do the best you can. It's worth it.
There were some other jewels about the book that stood out for me:
* The one liners that come out of Ben's narration are brilliantly in keeping with his character and help with pacing. "...... or if I'm just experiencing the kind of luck only stupid people enjoy..." , is one example that comes in the middle of a particularly harrowing fight scene. It doesn't interrupt the flow of the story and, yet, it gives you a split second of breathing space to integrate the human aspect of the fight.
*The quotes from Dr. Quickley's diary entries that top each chapter also help with the story's pacing. They are like little time travel breaks in your mind as you move forward in the story. I don't know if the author intended it this way or not, but it gave me, the reader, a little philosophical time travel hiccup - like a one minute time blink - as I took a break to imagine what was going on in Dr Quickley's world when in wrote the entry. We know the when because the entries are dated, but where was he when it wrote it and what part of his when was he living? That's never answered because it's not part of the story other than the "Grandfather of Time" is always present that way. Still, the commentary often brings a smile to your face.
*There are some historical facts in the story that I had to wonder if they were true in "our timeline". For example, I didn't know Seattle was built on tidal land until I read it in The Chronothon. A quick Google search confirmed it. This kind of thing added another layer of "reality" to this fantasy story. Well done.
* The author handles a love scene that creates the entire picture in your mind without spilling one nitty gritty detail. It was fifty shades of perfect for this genre of book.
* Once again, the author neatly sets up the next book in the series without leaving the story of this book hanging one iota.
That's all the good stuff. Now here's the WARNING: Think twice about reading this book if you have a strong aversion to blood, guts, death, and alien horrors. Although none of it is ever gratuitous, the author brings it alive in full living color in your imagination. At one point, I almost told myself it was too much and wanted to put the book down. "I'll finish this chapter," I promised myself, "and then decide if it's not for me." Needless to say, I kept reading to the end and am looking forward to his next book. Still, forewarned is forearmed on the blood, guts, death, and alien horrors.

The Chronothon A Time Travel Adventure eBook Nathan Van Coops Reviews
This book is amazing. No, seriously, it is even better than amazing. Nathan Van Coops has taken his newly creative conceptions of time travel, melded them with a Mockinjay sort of Universal time travel marathon, mixed in brilliant snippets of historical reference, created great characters, villains and heroes and it all adds up to a book I could not put down, even to eat or sleep! This, THIS is a book worthy of the name an epic story that never loses its pace or excitement, even in rare moments of respite. Believe me, you will love this book, whether you are a nerd who grew up on science fiction (like me), or just someone who loves a good read--no, make that a GREAT read! If I could, I would give this book TEN Stars it made me laugh and cheer out loud. Do yourself a favor drop absolutely everything else and read this book, start to finish, NOW!!! A+++ Bravissimo!!!
You ever find yourself sitting down at a nice restaurant and everything on the menu looks delicious, and you find yourself disappointed because you can only choose one entree to eat? Well, Chronothon is the "Sampler" of time travel books. A little of everything. Some fans of the genre hone in on specific time periods, or are die hard futurists and enjoy sci-fi theoretical tomorrowlands. This book finds the protagonist wrapped up in a conspiracy, masked as a time travel extreme sporting event. Racing at break neck speed through the past and into the future.
I really loved this book, I often find myself intrigued by the idea of a novel but than get bored by the middle of the story because some ideas need to remain short stories not novels...I loved how this book in a sense is very much a novel but each chapter felt like a short story as you never knew where the story was going both in the overall mystery of the story but each time gate would literally whisk the characters to an entirely new time and place. The complete change of time and place so often kept the story moving and the pages turning. I gotta read the next chapter...Where is the next level?
Despite the story being disjointed by its nature, you really come to put it all together by the personality of the protagonist Ben. This book has some extreme tension, and I would say it is the most action packed time travel novel I have ever read....and I am a Time Travel Guru of sorts...Ben relieves some of the tension by being his goofy self and at times certain chapters come off as an action comedy, which for me was highly enjoyable. Van Coops has a genre breaker in this book as one of the levels is completely survival horror at its best. I have to compliment the author in presenting so much in a single novel. Despite, the book loaning itself to so much action, I felt as a reader I came to care very much for our protagonist and his fellow racers of the Chronothon, who are more friends than competition.
Can't decide if you enjoy time travel or history? I recommend the sampler...A little taste of the Chronothon will have you coming back for more for sure....This is book 2 of 3 so all the possible avenues this leaves open for exploration is astounding...Can't wait for what's next!
