I loved the concept of this book. A group of people from the future recruiting people from the past to fix time whenever there is a breach. Of course, things don't always go according to plan. I loved the new type of dino and how it can mimic and learn from them. I really enjoyed the time waves and the changes made by one simple little act. I can't wait to see what happens next in this series.

Wow! This book consumed me. Basically, Foster is the only one of the previous group of Timeriders left. He goes thru time and picks out 3 people based on their skills. As they are about to die, he gives them the choice to die or be a Timerider. I love the whole concept of this book. Time travel has been invented and it's a dangerous thing so Timeriders protect history. I love how they took such a monumental time in history (9/10/01-9/11/01) to put their time bubble field office. Also, taking a failed attempt by Hitler and changing it to change the course of history is brilliant. The Timeriders really had to investigate and it took the entire team to correct this tear in time.… (more)

I found this story very interesting especially the ending. However, after reading the first 2 books they have the same basic story in both. The traveler gets stuck and has to make a hidden message to get home. Is this the same in all the books? I certainly hope not.

Ehhh. Started out really strong and then just sort of veered off into "wuh?" territory. I felt the ending was a bit of a cheat.
