Description
September 11, 2001. Padma Mahajan mourns the loss of her newlywed husband, Major Kyle Mason, killed while defeating terrorists from crashing American 11 into the World Trade Center. As she watches harrowing videos on TV of American 11 missing the North Tower by mere feet, a mysterious visitor enters her apartment, possessing stunning knowledge about the future. Leveraging this information, Padma becomes the world’s wealthiest person and de facto "Empress of America" until a new authoritarian challenges her rule and forces her and the visitor from the future to escape into the past - through the Time Tunnel.
An accident in the Time Tunnel throws the couple hopelessly off course. Lost in time, they use their knowledge of the future to change the outcome of one of history’s most heinous massacres. As they attempt to change the past, they are hunted by Colonel Annika Wise, who has orders to kill the time traveling duo.
Time Tunnel: The Empire is the thrilling sequel to Time Tunnel: The Twin Towers, a daring suspense story in which history is changed for better...and worse.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Time Tunnel: The Empire was a crazy good adventure that I would have never expected from this sci-fi style book. It is a must-read that I could hardly put down." (Manhattan Book Review)
"[E]erie similarities to our current political climate cannot be denied.... This book also ends on a great cliffhanger, leaving the reader wanting much more." (San Francisco Book Review)
"In this second installment of a series, Todd (Time Tunnel: The Twin Towers, 2019) continues exploring the intriguing possibilities of time travel, backing up his speculations with well-researched history and believable science. Though adept at setting up exciting, tense confrontations, the author is also a thoughtful writer, and his characters are appropriately vulnerable, though Padma is hailed as the messiah of Lakota prophecy and Kyle has modern weaponry. Todd’s Lakota camp and the town of Deadwood come vividly alive with well-chosen, telling details such as the checkerboard that sits atop a general store’s cracker barrel. The cliffhanger ending will leave readers eager for the next volume." (Kirkus)
"Just like the first novel in the series The Twin Towers, The Empire is full of action, intrigue, and suspense. Richard Todd does a fantastic job of retelling historical events, which are brilliantly researched." (Seattle Book Review)
"Relationships are tested in this story; the only way to know how you truly feel about someone is to throw them in a situation together for which they are totally unprepared. The reader is able to delve deeper into the feelings of the characters and grasp a better understanding for the motivation of their actions. As in Twin Towers, there is action galore, and The Empire includes another story from history that originally ended badly, but now occurs in a way we would have liked for it to have played out. The ending was a complete shock, with another phase in the Time Tunnel series coming at a later date." (Tulsa Book Review)

A fun one
Not as good as the first but still entertaining to listen to. I could definitely see this becoming a tv series.

Eerily realistic
This book echos so many things that we are seeing in the US and the world today. Did you use a real Time Machine to write this Mr.Todd? Can you please fix the timeline? Lol
