Time Tunnel: The Twin Towers

By: Richard Todd

Narrated by: Natalie Naudus

"Todd grippingly conjures a what-if time-travel scenario that's unusually believable." (Kirkus)

"Time Tunnel: The Twin Towers is a wonderful piece of work with great actions scenes and a fantastic storyline that would be enjoyed by a wide audience." (Manhattan Book Review)

"The Twin Towers is a compelling, fascinating read that ends with the reader anxious for the sequel." (San Francisco Book Review)

September 10, 2001. Special Forces Major Kyle Mason is honeymooning at New York’s SoHo Grand Hotel with his bride, Padma Mahajan. The couple’s hotel is only a few hundred yards away from Padma’s place of work on the 105th floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower.

When Padma steps out for coffee and a cigarette, a mysterious visitor enters the honeymoon suite, warning Kyle of an incomprehensible catastrophe that will result in the total destruction of the World Trade Center towers, killing his wife. The stranger enlists Kyle’s help to avert a disaster that will occur the following morning - on 9/11.

The first book in the Time Tunnel series, Time Tunnel: The Twin Towers, re-imagines 9/11 as a critical inflection point in time, the outcome of which the government determines must be altered in order to reverse the course of the American empire.

Great Time Travel Genre

I've really enjoyed the books in the Time Travel genre - thought I'd found all the good ones but stumbled on this after an Audible email blast recommendation - great writing - plot, character development, suspenseful. The time travel explanation even makes sense, although like most in this series they don't always deal with "the butterfly effect" very well. If you like this genre, you'll love this book.

Compelling story with lots of style and intrigue

Loved this unfortunately fictional account of the saving of the Twin towers. Loved the characters and can't wait to start Book 2 which promises to be as much of a cliff hanger as Book 1.

Solid start to a new time travel series.

OK, admittedly I am old enough to have watched the Irwin Allen TV series when it aired in 66-67. The cover of the book, and a handful of themes contained in it, echo the original. That said, this is highly original for the most part, and is a promising start to a series ( the sequel is out already.)
Todd can occasionally be derivative and overly bombastic to my taste, and certainly, there is some of that here. However, the strong characters, set against the action background ( in a variety of "creative" environments ) more than compensate.
Natalie Naudus does an outstanding job of bringing these large characters to life.
Overall, worth the credit and the time ( hah ) to start into a new time travel series. Recommended.

solid 4 star

I reserve 5 star for truly unforgettable books . This wasn't quite that good but I will definitely buy book 2.

Outstanding read

Received this book free from author. One of the best books I have read. Extraterrestrials, area 51, time travel, the twin towers. I received the audio book and I listened in two days. I couldn't put it down. A very different read. This will be a very popular series. Can't wait for the second book to go audio.
