In every possible future, the agents are faced with the unexplained phenomenon which wipes the whole humankind from the face of the Earth. Wow, how are you going back to your life after that? And when you keep doing these jumps in time? No wonder people went mad.Īpart from the criminal investigation, we also have an inevitable end of the world, called Terminus, which is approaching slowly but surely. But then they get back to their reality and the world they spent the last few months stop existing, nothing really happened, it was only an illusion. Their brains tried to make sense of their constant environment changing, so they keep adapting to new times, the people they met, freshly forged friendships, higher technologies. But I was far more interested in what happened in people’s minds. And I don’t only mean the ageing aspect, while you are jumping to different years and sometimes spend months or years there, it’s normal that you come back to your terra firma older. I also liked how the author presented us with difficulties of time travelling.

It’s kind of like cheating, don’t you think? But to my relief it turned out the case was not settled and Moss had to work hard to discover any leads after twenty years since the murder happened. Firstly, it seemed strange to me, that straight after opening the investigation, they sent an agent into the future to get all the details from an already solved case. Truth be told, not everything was explained perfectly, but it didn’t bother me that much. I’m a huge fan of time travel stories and mixing it with a complicated murder case was a splendid idea. Shannon is prepared to do everything to solve the mystery and embark to the journey to 2015 to find more clues about the case.

Everything gets more complicated, when it turns out, that missing SEAL was also participating in Deep Travel assignments, meaning he was travelling to the future. On the site, she also discovers that his teenage daughter went missing, and she is determined to find the girl alive. Shannon Moss, who works for Naval Criminal Investigative Service, is given a case of former SEAL marine family murder. I’m personally a fan of both genres so I couldn’t wait to read it. ‘The Gone World’ by Tom Sweterlitsch is a fusion of sci-fi and mystery novel.
