Time Traveler Chronicles by Robert Werden

You learn very early on that 27 y-o Carter is actually the kind of girl who needs therapy to get out of her Shades-of-Gray dependency. The scenes are not graphic, just juvenile. The most disturbing and star-losing aspect of the story is the 8th-grade sex fantasy. It seemed like too much for one story to take on however, it actually all worked out and became quite interesting. But all of a sudden the story explodes into aliens, space exploration, and the apocalyptic, cataclysmic annihilation of the Earth. This talent saves them several times, and is quite believable. Her greatest talent is being able to intuit the whole story from just pieces. Carter is hired to be the videographer for the government's Time Travel Unit which goes around snatching desirable objects and recording major historical events.

I was actually going to rate this as a one star book, but the story got better. All in all, I enjoyed the story and the overall performance. Sounds too much like a documentary and I found myself a bit bored with the 'information' being given and rewound a few times. The only constructive criticism I would give is that he work on his narration in between the characters. (Never did explain why Sue was sick, but just left questions!) If there was a 2nd story written, I would give it a go! I listened to the audio version of this story and the narrator, Kevin Clay does a good job with the characters, and his ability to keep the voices separate and understandable. I did enjoy the development of the characters, but feel that it didn't complete the development. I was disappointed in the 'big bang' theory and how that was explained into existence, as well as, the 'ability' for them to go back billions of years was a bit far fetched, (especially since this was set in 2018) but, I kept reminding myself that this is a work of one man's imagination and fiction.

The story line of the time travel and how it came to be, the way they are able to shift through time and the explanation of how they were able to collect data without changing time was good. There was a lot of 'technical jargon' that is well explained without losing the lay person (me!).
