Story4.5 out of 5 stars 31
A quirky English chap with a taste for fine scotch, Dr. Phineas Templeton builds a time machine at the behest of his mysterious benefactor. His mission? To meet Jesus Christ Himself, and garner all of the fame, recognition, and accolades that writing an epic time travelogue would bring. Unfortunately for Finny, Jesus is actually a fellow time traveler, a hippie named Trent from Colorado in the future. While Trent explains that the past is fixed and immutable, Dr. Templeton realizes that he's made a horrible oversight in his calculations, and can't return to his own time period.

When I love a book, I'm totally engrossed and can't wait to turn the proverbial next page or chapter. This book didn't do it for me. Feelings are subjective. I just didn't care about the protagonist or any of the other characters, so I didn't connect with the story.
On the other hand, the premise of the story is interesting -- especially if you're into time travel, as I am. I did finish the book, but have no interest in continuing the series.
The cover of the book is clickbait-y. The interaction with Jesus is a small part of the book near the beginning of the story. IMO, the selection of that character for the cover is unwarranted and may cause some to misinterpret what the book is about.
