He’s a novice time traveler in a big universe.
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.

Review
"Hang on to your anchors! The Chronothon is a blast--a whirlwind race through space and time, where nothing is quite what it seems. Van Coops tackles the action masterfully, carrying the reader from one wild adventure to the next." --Rysa Walker, Timebound.
"Van Coops masterfully creates a universe of time travellers at their best and at their worst. This is how time travel might one day be...or already has been."--time2timetravel.com
"I enjoyed reading this book and In Times Like These immensely. Nathan Van Coops has clearly put a lot of thought into his novels, and it's the first time that a time travelling book made me think about space as an issue in addition to time - i.e. will you be at the same location when you travel backwards or forwards in time? After all, our planet moves, the whole universe is on the move! It is not only an exciting page turner, but you can also learn a few things. A great read. I hope for more!" --Readers' Favorite Reviews
From the Author
Welcome to The Chronothon! This book was the most fun I've ever had writing. If you like adventure, with a little bit of romance, history, and some fantastic locations thrown in, this is the book for you. I'm an avid reader of time travel and have never seen this concept tackled, so I was eager to see where the story would take me. This book contains moderate profanity and some scenes of intense sci-fi violence, roughly equivalent to a PG-13 film. Appropriate for adult, young adult, and teen readers. Not appropriate for children. Thanks for reading. -NVC

5 Stars with a strong warning...
By LoveToReadGoodBooks
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.

Thrilling and entertaining
By Mark Speed
I've read some good novels in the last year. This is a great one. It's the sequel to In Times Like These, which I thoroughly enjoyed. You don't have to have read book one to read book two, as everything you need to know is explained as you go.
Nathan Van Coops has done a masterful job of creating a plausible time travel method, as well as ensuring it's not easy for those who wish to use it. As Vladimir Nabokov said, it's the author's job to get their protagonist stuck up a tree and then throw rocks at him. Van Coops never once lets the protagonist off the hook. Indeed, he piles on the problems perfectly, and allows him to interplay with a large cast of characters - some good some evil - as they try to survive this epic time race. The protagonist's mettle is tested thoroughly, and his character is revealed through adversity - which is what marks out great writing from good.
The excursions into history are very well researched and believable, and the characters are all well-drawn. There are plenty of edge-of-your-seat moments as the action unfolds. Each of the mini-excursions into a new period of time builds up solidly towards a very satisfying denouement. This is a must-read for any sci-fi fan.
Cool science bit. Here's the background: the protagonist and his friends literally fell into the world of early time-travel. It's achieved by means of a watch-like device on the wrist, but there are great risks involved. In order not to reappear in a different part of the Earth's orbit (minus the planet), or be fused into other people or objects, you have to use an anchor when you jump. The anchor has to have been around at the time you want to jump to. That anchor will stop you reappearing in the neverwhere. Other limiting factors are that you can only jump a certain number of years at a time, and that your device needs recharging.

A little of Everything...So So Good!
By Lincoln Dewey
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!
