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。

A。 G。 Riddle writes an intriguing time travel novel using an imaginative twist。 In the future， individuals convicted of murder are sent back 200 million years with no resources。 This story follows what occurs when an innocent man is sent back and how his family and friends attempt to correct the injustice。 Mr。 Riddle concocts an impressive plot that keeps readers turning pages as each unexpected twist grabs their attention。 A remarkable adventure that whets the appetite for more。

This will appeal to readers who like a lot of action and a fast pace。 I did feel like the first quarter of the book could use a bit more editing。 There is not a lot of character development but it’s a fun romp。

Lost in Time has a great cover and a great premise。 Unfortunately， it doesn't quite live up to them， but it's solid popcorn fun。 The Absolom， a time travel device， allows governments to imprison criminals in the prehistoric past。 One of its inventors， Sam Anderson， is arrested and accused of killing Nora Thomas， his lover， and co-inventor of Absolom。 He didn't commit the crime but must take responsibility for it - or his daughter Adeline will be framed for it。The government uses Absolomn to send Lost in Time has a great cover and a great premise。 Unfortunately， it doesn't quite live up to them， but it's solid popcorn fun。 The Absolom， a time travel device， allows governments to imprison criminals in the prehistoric past。 One of its inventors， Sam Anderson， is arrested and accused of killing Nora Thomas， his lover， and co-inventor of Absolom。 He didn't commit the crime but must take responsibility for it - or his daughter Adeline will be framed for it。The government uses Absolomn to send Sam to the Triassic period， where he has to deal with dinosaurs， lack of food， and earthquakes。 His arc resembles a blend of Lost and Jurassic Park but is much more bland and streamlined。In the present （sort of） timeline， Adeline is trying to find the real killer of Nora and find a way to rescue her father。 There's a massive twist at brewing， so I'll stop with the synopsis。 Suffice to say， all of Absolom's creators and investors hide secrets and painful pasts。A。G。 Riddle understands the market and knows the tastes of fans of techno-thrillers。 He knows how to mix simplistic science with family drama and create uncomplicated but relatable characters。 I mentioned that the creators of Absolom have secrets， and they do。 Only none of them are truly nefarious， and their actions are driven by grief， compassion， and the need to atone for their sins。The author excels at delivering short chapters with mini-hooks that force readers to read "just one more chapter。" Good twists and personal stakes add to the excitement。 Still， I have a few criticisms of the book。 First， Riddle's writing style is bland and clinical， and his dialog often seems unconvincing （ subjective ）。 The story and characters lack nuance， but that's not necessarily a bad thing because it makes the book easy to read for a wide audience。 It just wasn't enough to excite me。 I have a problem with the logic of sending depraved criminals to prehistoric times and with the logistics of time travel。 It's not a deal breaker， though。 But the biggest problem I have concerns the ending， and it's the kind of a problem I can't discuss in a review。 Suffice to say， I'm not a fan of micro-utopias。In all， Lost in Time is a fun popcorn read with both emotional and scientific thrills and well-placed twists。 Fans of fast-paced techno-thrillers should give it a go。ARC throughNetGalley 。。。more

"Lost in Time" was a frustrating read for me。 It had the feel of being written by an over-enthusiastic teenager， with too much repetition （small annoyances） and questions that rose that could have been answered much sooner。 Still， it was fun to read。。。 until it kind of collapsed into a brain-mushing spoof。 There wasn't anywhere near enough of some characters， and the "feel good" ending felt really out of place。 I'm sure heaps of people will enjoy this book much more than I did。 My thanks to the "Lost in Time" was a frustrating read for me。 It had the feel of being written by an over-enthusiastic teenager， with too much repetition （small annoyances） and questions that rose that could have been answered much sooner。 Still， it was fun to read。。。 until it kind of collapsed into a brain-mushing spoof。 There wasn't anywhere near enough of some characters， and the "feel good" ending felt really out of place。 I'm sure heaps of people will enjoy this book much more than I did。 My thanks to the author， publisher， and NetGalley。 This review was written voluntarily and is entirely my own， unbiased， opinion。 。。。more

Lost in Time by A。G。Riddle is a timey-wimey， twisty adventure/mystery story。 I enjoyed it a lot。There isn't really much to compare it to to let you know what to expect。 The synopsis gives you a little bit but the actual story is a lot more。 Sam and his daughter Adeline （Anagram for another character-or vice versa？） are our time lost characters and to say too much more would spoil things。I think that the ending could be used as a spring board for a follow up book and I hope it is。 There are some Lost in Time by A。G。Riddle is a timey-wimey， twisty adventure/mystery story。 I enjoyed it a lot。There isn't really much to compare it to to let you know what to expect。 The synopsis gives you a little bit but the actual story is a lot more。 Sam and his daughter Adeline （Anagram for another character-or vice versa？） are our time lost characters and to say too much more would spoil things。I think that the ending could be used as a spring board for a follow up book and I hope it is。 There are some scenes at the end that seem to repeat but they logically need to due to the nature of the story。 It is a fun story that will have you guessing up to the end。Thank you to #NetGalley， #HeadofZues， and A。G。 Riddle for the ARC of #LostinTime。 。。。more

So， this was from a standing debate with a friend over the quality of self-published works。 My friend （a self-published author himself） posited that the quality is just as good as traditionally published work， citing a list of authors who started off self-publishing and they got famous。 Literary giants like E。L。 James， that is。Riddle was on that list so when his latest showed up on Netgalley， I figured I’d check him out。 Sure enough， I stand strong on my position。 Riddle， like James， like other So， this was from a standing debate with a friend over the quality of self-published works。 My friend （a self-published author himself） posited that the quality is just as good as traditionally published work， citing a list of authors who started off self-publishing and they got famous。 Literary giants like E。L。 James， that is。Riddle was on that list so when his latest showed up on Netgalley， I figured I’d check him out。 Sure enough， I stand strong on my position。 Riddle， like James， like other similar authors， may have a very good understanding of the current market， but he’s probably never going to be accused of being a great writer。 Because he isn’t， not really， more like an author。 Someone who can come up with the sort of ideas that get the general audience all steamed up and then cobble it together into a book， one flat serviceable sentence at a time。 As this techno-thriller proves so perfectly。The idea behind it is huge and bombastic， straight out of Michael Bay’s catalog and movie adaptation-ready。 A man accused of a crime he didn’t commit is sent back in time because apparently that’s what they do to criminals in that reality。Yeah， it’s one of those things that totally doesn’t hold up to overthinking。 So there he is， with the dinos （and there’s sadly not enough of it）， while back in his timeline his young daughter is fighting to solve the murder and prove her father’s innocence。The twist is that her father is actually behind the technology that enables time-traveling and it was meant to be something different originally， but there it is。Enter some pseudo-scientific babble， lots of business jargon， some dubious time-traveling logistics and paradoxes and a bunch of suspense， et voila， you got yourself a book。 A much too long of a book for the quality of writing， but at least it reads quickly， due to its whambam thriller-pace。Cardboard characters all around， the set is practically flammable with them。 Nothing special， but lots of things in it that sell。 An imminently marketable feature。 Not something to love。 Probably just waiting to be adapted into something starring Chris Pratt。 Read at your own discretion。 Thanks Netgalley。This and more at https://advancetheplot。weebly。com/ 。。。more

I agree with at least one other reviewer that the writing can be trite and the plot a bit formulaic except when it isn’t。But， it held my interest， made my brain hurt （ in a good way） and definitely had some twists I did not see coming！This is not a wonderful meal， just a snack that really hit the spot。Hey， I can be trite too！！

I really loved this book it was a great break and totally entertaining， very fun。 I’ve read all of Mr。 Riddle’s books and this one falls in the same quality of reads， possibly one of the better reads。 One part sort of reminded me of Heinlein’s “All You Zombies”， that type of paradox， very cool and fun。 If you’re not familiar with the A。G。 Riddle， I’ll bet good money you’ll love it and read more of his books。

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。

the time we waste， the time we long to go back to， hold on to， and the time we desperately want to change。 From the author’s note I learned that themes such as grief， parenthood and regret within the novel come directly from the author’s personal life experiences and you can truly see that through the raw emotions present throughout many scenes。“That was the way of the world， he thought; you give it your all; sometimes it's enough， sometimes it's not， and sometimes， the tide carries you in。”I have to say the ending of the book was nothing like what I expected it to be。 Riddle drops a completely mind blowing twist and changes the perspective of the entire novel。 Lost in Time is easy to devour in one sitting， it’s easy to be wholly immersed into this twisty time travel tale， and before you know it， you yourself lose track of time。ARC provided by Jamie at BlackCrow PR and Head of Zeus in exchange for an honest review。 Lost in Time is out 1st September in the UK 。。。more

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
