Haunting and nuanced, this is the story of a split second between normality and appalling tragedy, and of what comes next. Books Reading Order » Book Reviews » Review: Split Second by Douglas E.Caroline Bond has done it again. Richards is a self-published author, but I honestly didn’t see all that many editorial mistakes in his book compared to many other indie writers. Of course, there are also several curveballs thrown at us, with some interesting results, some that I didn’t really see coming.įor lovers of time-travel techno-thrillers, Split Second is a book well-worth reading. The author did a great job with researching the topic and then presenting his own theories in a way that actually made sense within the book. However, Douglas E Richards put a whole new spin on the genre, one that throws upside down most theories about time travel, multiple universes, etc. Time travel is a topic that many contemporary writers have tackled in their books, from romance authors to sci-fi novelists, all the way to thriller books. In fact, at times I felt she had more chemistry with Aaron than with Nathan, which somehow felt wrong because this reinforces all the usual stereotypes about girls going for bad boys, tough boys, and exciting boys, rather than for the brainiacs with no combat experience.
I couldn’t really warm up to her all that much.
Jenna was interesting as well, although at times she seemed to forget that her boyfriend, Nathan, was murdered in front of her eyes.

She hires a private investigator with a military past, and the two of them begin unraveling the threads of the conspiracy and mystery surrounding Nathan’s discovery.

When the two sat down to discuss their times away from each other, Nathan told her that he has something exciting and intriguing to share with her, something that might just change the course of the entire world. And this is not an exaggeration. Nathan Wexler is one of those physicists that are quickly heading for a Nobel Prize. When Jenna Morrison comes home from a long trip visiting her sister, she is greeted by her brilliant fiance. So my excitement has tripled when I saw what all the book deals with. Split Second is not only a techno-thriller science-fiction novel, but it is also an interest time-travel story, which is in a genre I can never get enough of. And I couldn’t really stop until I’ve read both of them one weekend. Richards’s techno-thriller series, I picked up his two books and started reading. So when someone recommended I try Douglas E. I have loved reading techno-thriller novels ever since I first came across Michael Crichton back in the day. Richards books I have ever read, and after reading the entire two-book series, this is an author I will continue to keep an eye out for. Split Second was pretty much the first of the Douglas E.
