Genre: Time Travel,
Science Fiction
Blurb:
Twenty-two-year-old Lyndall Huxley wakes to find herself
thousands of years into the future. Something went wrong with the programme for
which she volunteered - a programme that employs Einstein’s laws of relativity
to send travellers forward in time. The ruins overrun by green woodland in
which she wakes are a far cry from the urbanised world she left behind in the
2200's. Lyndall embarks upon a journey that will leave her questioning her very
identity. She must choose between the new life that beckons and the old life
from which, even thousands of years later, she cannot escape. She will discover
that the mission was never about sending people into the future. Much more is
at stake.
"Thoughtful, clever, poignant and thought-provoking in
equal measure"
- The Scotsman
"A thinking person’s sci-fi novel with plot twists
a-plenty"
- Boston Standard
"Given its cinematic potential, it is possible –
perhaps likely – that Threads in Time, the first in a planned trilogy, will follow
its literary forefathers to the Big Screen."
- The Yorkshire Post
My Review:
Tragedy strikes Twenty-two-year-old Lyndall Huxley and
leaves her with a broken heart. In one night she loses her whole family and she
feels as if it is all her fault. Her heart was torn right out of her chest
leaving nothing but a shell of a person in its wake. She is so heartbroken that
she lashes out at the one person left in her life that she cares for greatly.
Lyndall lashes out at him and causing a big rift in their relationship. Lyndall
hurts so bad she just wants to be a lone.
So when she hears about this program where she can leave it
all behind and time travel to the future she jumps in head first. Lyndall is
sent thousands of years into the future into a world that has been devastated
by time and probably the people as well.
Lyndall’s life has been turned upside down by her past and
the future as well. Lyndall finds out that her little trip into the future is
not quite like she was told by the people from her past. She learns that she
has been lied too by the people in her past. Someone from the future is also
not being honest with her but she is not sure who that is. Lyndall has no idea
who she can trust. Can she trust her new friends?
Threads in Time was a fast paced read that had me hooked
from the first page. There was action and adventure on every page. I can’t wait
to check out more books in this series. The world building is phenomenal and
the characters were just as amazing.
I would recommend Threads in Time of anyone who likes a good
science fiction/time travel novel.
