Summary
When his daughter is falsely accused of murder， a scientist must travel 200 million years into the past to save her。 But there are secrets waiting there。 And more than her life is at stake。
From the worldwide bestselling author of Departure and Winter World comes a standalone novel with a twist you’ll never see coming。
Control the Past。
Save the Future。
One morning， Dr。 Sam Anderson wakes up to discover that the woman he loves has been murdered。
For Sam， the horror is only beginning。
He and his daughter are accused of the crime。
The evidence is ironclad。 They will be convicted。
And so， Sam does what he must: he confesses to the crime。
But in the future， murderers aren’t sent to prison。
They’re sent to the past。
Two hundred million years into the past—to the age of the dinosaurs—to live out their lives alone， in exile from the human race。
Sam accepts his fate。
But his daughter doesn’t。
Adeline Anderson has already lost her mother to a deadly and unfair disease。 She can’t bear to lose her father。
She sets out on a quest to prove him innocent。 And get him back。 People around her insist that both are impossible tasks。
But Adeline doesn’t give up。 She only works harder。
She soon learns that impossible tasks are her specialty。 And that she is made of tougher stuff that she ever imagined。
As she peels back the layers of the mystery that ripped her father from this world， Adeline finds more questions than answers。 Everyone around her is hiding a secret。 But which ones are connected to the murder that exiled her father？ That mystery stretches across the past， present， and future–and leads to a revelation that will change everything。

I received a free copy for review。 My review is， however， unbiased by this。This book is a little difficult to get into - the final push to start the plot actually rolling takes place 20% of the way into the book - but once that threshold is crossed， it's like you've adopted the pace of the story - everything starts crashing down on you and you start searching for the clues the characters might have missed， for anything that will tell you the Whodunnit。 I finished this book in 4 days。 There were I received a free copy for review。 My review is， however， unbiased by this。This book is a little difficult to get into - the final push to start the plot actually rolling takes place 20% of the way into the book - but once that threshold is crossed， it's like you've adopted the pace of the story - everything starts crashing down on you and you start searching for the clues the characters might have missed， for anything that will tell you the Whodunnit。 I finished this book in 4 days。 There were points that it was easy to put the book down， and there were points where it was extremely difficult。 I had the wrong character pegged from the start， but I've also absorbed a lot of fictional media， and am used to lazy writing。 I'm glad this book did something different。 Would have loved more ancient-era scenes， and the writer could have written longer chapters or joined a few together， but that is a matter of personal taste。 Probably not a reread book， but definitely a read-once book。 。。。more

Thanks to NetGalley and Head of Zeus。Tremendously entertaining with a mix of action and mystery and an agile and fluid pace that keeps you hooked from the beginning thanks to short chapters and interesting characters with a common purpose and also with their flaws that add a greater dimension。Without a doubt it is a highly recommended book。

I enjoyed this book。The plot is great and the story-telling fast-paced。 It had a very good thriller aspect and A。G。 Riddle was able to keep the suspense going throughout the book without it becoming tiresome。 I liked the characters in the book， finding them sympathetic and multilayered。 I loved the character backstories that were enticingly revealed。 I found the writing style conversational， not overly literary， making the book a fun read。 The only real fault with the book was that the ending， w I enjoyed this book。The plot is great and the story-telling fast-paced。 It had a very good thriller aspect and A。G。 Riddle was able to keep the suspense going throughout the book without it becoming tiresome。 I liked the characters in the book， finding them sympathetic and multilayered。 I loved the character backstories that were enticingly revealed。 I found the writing style conversational， not overly literary， making the book a fun read。 The only real fault with the book was that the ending， which while certainly satisfying， read more like an introduction to sequels than an ending。 Overall this is a great read。 Thank you to Edelweiss and Independent Publishers Group for the digital review copy。 。。。more

Fantastic and fast paced， emotional rollercoaster。 This is my first A G Riddle read and I will definitely be reading more。 Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review。 The story centres around a group of people who， with their own reasons， stumble onto building a time machine。 The plot is on full of murder mystery， a whodunnit situation that leaves you disagreeing with yourself on what the hell has happened。 The story flows very well， I only started this last night and have Fantastic and fast paced， emotional rollercoaster。 This is my first A G Riddle read and I will definitely be reading more。 Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review。 The story centres around a group of people who， with their own reasons， stumble onto building a time machine。 The plot is on full of murder mystery， a whodunnit situation that leaves you disagreeing with yourself on what the hell has happened。 The story flows very well， I only started this last night and have now finished it in two sittings。 If there was ever a unputdownable book， this is it。 The characters， as I’ve mentioned， all have their reasons to want to change their lives。 Also， each one has a motive to want to murder the victim。 Every time I thought I knew who done it， I was switched and left unsure。 Each character felt real and were making decisions you’d expect of them。 There is a lot of time travel in this book and it sometimes went over my head， which isn’t hard！ There’s a few scenes I would love to mention but it’s much better if you experience this yourself。 4/5 stars。 Great story and one I didn’t want to end。 I look forward to delving into the Riddle world。 You can find me @gavinreads for book chats！ 。。。more

Lost in Time by A。G。 Riddle is a combination of thriller and science fiction， with even a slight touch of feelgood。 Several ingredients of the proven Riddle-recipe are present again， like many short chapters of which a lot end with a cliffhanger that keeps you turning the pages for what is to come。 Or like a good dose of action， mixed with technological challenges。 The fast paced style of storytelling is very appealing。 From the first chapter onwards， Riddle keeps the tension going。 The main cha Lost in Time by A。G。 Riddle is a combination of thriller and science fiction， with even a slight touch of feelgood。 Several ingredients of the proven Riddle-recipe are present again， like many short chapters of which a lot end with a cliffhanger that keeps you turning the pages for what is to come。 Or like a good dose of action， mixed with technological challenges。 The fast paced style of storytelling is very appealing。 From the first chapter onwards， Riddle keeps the tension going。 The main characters --Sam and Adeline-- are treated unjust from the very beginning， which helps in sympathising with them， and of course then you want to know what happens to them further into the story。The book is divided in five parts， combining eighty chapter and an epilogue。 The first part of the story is set five years into the future， with a murder case that appears to be a locked-room mystery， allegedly invented by Edgar Allan Poe。 Most of the used technology is logically not very far ahead of what we already have， although some inventions seem unrealistic， not counting Absolom。 But one never knows what the next five years will bring。 In any case， it will be interesting to check again in five years how believable the book still is。 At this moment， it’s very appealing in any case。Starting from part three， part of the story shifts towards historical fiction， when Sam enters the Late Triassic。 The rapid going back and forth between two timelines is well managed， with said cliffhangers at exactly the right moment。 The way Sam has to solve practical problems， reminds a lot of how Andy Weir makes his protagonists do a similar thing in books like The Martian or Project Hail Mary。 Fun fact: in Lost in Time， Hail Mary is mentioned once too， although not related to Andy Weir。A。G。 Riddle has some more aces in his sleeve。 People who’ve read the Impossible Times trilogy by Mark Lawrence， will also love this newest Riddle-novel， because as of a certain moments， brain teasing time paradoxes， conceptually similar to the ones in Impossible Times， enter the story。 The solution is surprising。 I had a fairly good idea about how the plot would evolve after I head read a third of the book。 My guess was not bad at all， although it’s clear to me that many readers will guess part of the outcome because Riddle ingeniously steers you in that direction。 But then there is Riddles final trump card， shifting the solution in a way not many readers will see coming。I was less impressed by the fifth and final part。 Too long winded and cheesy for my taste。 Could have been told in half the amount of words。 Apart from that， this is a very recommendable sci-fi thriller。 。。。more

Last year， one of the best books that I have read was from this author， so when I saw that NetGalley had a new ARC I jumped at the opportunity and you know what？ Best thing I did ^___^ if you like doctor who with wibbly-wobbly， timey-wimey stuff， you’ll love this book， the story starts straight enough， father going to the cemetery with his children， for the anniversary of the death of his wife and mother of his children， and it is there that things start to get interesting and weird， we are sud Last year， one of the best books that I have read was from this author， so when I saw that NetGalley had a new ARC I jumped at the opportunity and you know what？ Best thing I did ^___^ if you like doctor who with wibbly-wobbly， timey-wimey stuff， you’ll love this book， the story starts straight enough， father going to the cemetery with his children， for the anniversary of the death of his wife and mother of his children， and it is there that things start to get interesting and weird， we are suddenly throw in a murder situation， and things just grow from there， complicate and then start to make sense， this book actually has a good ending but if you read in the stars maybe we could have a second book hahah ^___^There's a couple of punches that I wasn't really expecting and then we get a clue and then we start to realize what really it is going on， and it is beautiful， eventually everything will make sense。。 Can not stress enough how highly I recommend this book， for me it was the best read so far in 2022。Thank you NetGalley for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion。 。。。more

I have read a few books by AG Riddle， so I was super excited to be approved for this ARC - thank you NetGalley。To be honest， I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the synopsis but was keen to see how it would work…… and work it did！ It reminded me of Dark Matter by Blake Crouch （which I really enjoyed）。The chapters were short and that made it easier to read as you were always saying “just one more chapter”！ That and the fact you were always left wanting to know what was going to happen。The only re I have read a few books by AG Riddle， so I was super excited to be approved for this ARC - thank you NetGalley。To be honest， I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the synopsis but was keen to see how it would work…… and work it did！ It reminded me of Dark Matter by Blake Crouch （which I really enjoyed）。The chapters were short and that made it easier to read as you were always saying “just one more chapter”！ That and the fact you were always left wanting to know what was going to happen。The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was the dinosaur aspect， it just didn’t work for me。 I would have preferred him to be sent to another time and or place。 Still a great read though！ 。。。more
