This started out really good. I was so so excited and curious to see what would happen. Modern era science teacher goes back in time. Can he stop the civil war? Cool. Unfortunately it got really bogged down with bad guys and "inventions". He was bringing all this stuff to the people in the past to stop the war. Some of it just didn't follow for me. The character started out seeming like a depressed lazy guy. He just felt like a bum, even if he was a science teacher. Would a bum really have so many manuals on his iphone? If he wanted to stop the war why bring the updated weapons tech into the mix? I loved all the historical figures running around.

I did not plan on reading the sequel but the author did the one thing I hatred on novels....a stupid cliffhanger. Thank goodness they are free on Amazon prime. I love all things time travel so the book was ok...just not a great one. I think it is mainly because I find the main character a little unbelievable and very obtuse.
