Short Summary of the book:

This book didn’t disappoint either. In the third book in this series (not counting the prequel I also read and reviewed previously), we meet Pri, the daughter of our hero Tej. Like her father, she is also a time demon. And also like him, she tries to use her powers for good rather than evil. Will she be able to find her dad? Will they be able to defeat Tamas?

What I liked about the book:

I liked the book in its entirety. It continued the story with our hero and his friends and daughter.

What I didn’t like about the book:

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about the book.

My favourite bits in the book:

When Tej realises his daughter has powers he knew nothing about.

My least favourite bits in the book:

The book was like the previous books, not able to put down.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This is the third book in the series and like the others, I can also recommend this book. Will there be more in the series? Only time can tell.

What books could this be compared to and why?

This book follows the same trends as the others in the series and continues to captivate you.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

 

Children

No

Young Adult

Yes

Adult

Yes

 

If you like science fiction and thrillers, this book may be the book for you.

Book Description by Author:

Time demons can possess a man and bend his will.

But can they stop an asteroid on a collision course with the earth?

 

Tej is back to fulfill his promise to Rudrakshini. But all she asks him is to save the world from this impending catastrophe.

As the asteroid races towards the earth, an evil entity starts quashing any attempts to prevent armageddon. Astronomers are killed and rocket-scientists are blown apart around the globe.

 

Tej joins forces with his daughter Pri, who has her unique set of powers. His once nemesis, now friend, Rigasur is also pulled into the conflict. Together they face an enemy who's a master of stealth and tech-warfare.

 

As they travel back and forth in time to prevent the imminent doomsday, they realize a second apocalypse is waiting to happen.

 

If you like action-packed time travel stories, you'll love this conclusion story to the Time Travelers series.
