Marty Cohen and his team embarked on a cross-continental journey across North Africa with the goal of returning to their starting point. However, after passing through a mysterious portal, they find themselves in a place and time that is completely unexpected.

When a massive flood threatens the island, chaos ensues, and the team faces a series of unexpected challenges. Conflicting information from various team members only adds to the confusion.
As the reluctant leader of the group, Marty must make a difficult choice between saving the lives of an ancient nation and those of his team members.

Praise for Time Trials:
“Here’s a book you really might like. Time Trials is a deadly adventure in which a band of modern humans get taken back in time to Earth’s pre-history—and they find that humanity is herded and hunted by alien monsters, who look like the gods of Ancient Egypt. Time Trials has wonder and action in equal measure, with humor and even a little romance on the side. The characters are so charming and diverse, I wish I knew them in real life. For you gamers, there’s a fun little bonus too, because there are fantasy gaming elements woven subtly into the story. Take a look at Time Trials—you might find it’s a new favorite.”
—Sherrilyn Kenyon, #1 New York Times best-selling author
“Time Trials takes an eclectic band of 21st century adventurers—led by brilliant, unorthodox Chinese-Jewish Egyptologist Marty Cohen—back in time to the earliest pre-history of Egypt to battle demons, hobnob with the ancient king who first united Egypt, and discover things about themselves they never knew. Oh, and along the way, prevent the total extermination of the human race. It’s a nonstop action story that mingles strains of Indiana Jones and Stargate in a blend that’s all its own.”
—David Weber, New York Times best-selling author of the Honor Harrington series
“If Michael Crichton came back from the dead riding on a T-Rex, that would be almost as much fun as Time Trials. This is a must-read!”
—Larry Correia, New York Times best-selling author of Monster Hunter International
“Time Trials is a superb, well-researched blend of archaeology and mythos, like Indiana Jones fighting the Egyptian pantheon using elements of gaming. I highly enjoyed it.”
—Dakota Krout, best-selling author of Divine Dungeon, and Completionist Chronicles
“Rothman and Butler are masterful storytellers. Time Trials is an isekai adventure romp through history, chock-full of compelling characters, awesome action, and fantastic Gamelit elements that kept me flipping pages late into the night.”
—James A. Hunter, best-selling author of Vigil’s Justice, Rogue Dungeon, and Viridian Gate Online
“An entertaining first entry in what promises to be a fantastic time-travel series.”
—Kirkus Reviews
À propos de l'auteur
USA TODAY best-selling author M.A. Rothman is one of the most unlikely novelists you’ll ever meet. He’s an engineer first and foremost, with a background in the sciences, and somehow or another, this writing habit of his has turned into a bit more than just a run-of-the-mill hobby.
He primarily writes stories that focus on two things: technology and international intrigue. This writing tends to span the genres of science fiction, techno-thriller, and mainstream thrillers.
When not writing, he enjoys cooking, learning about new technology, travel, and spending time with his family.
D.J. (“Dave”) Butler grew up in swamps, deserts, and mountains. After messing around for years with the practice of law, he finally got serious and turned to his lifelong passion of storytelling. He now writes adventure stories for readers of all ages, plays guitar, and spends as much time as he can with his family. He is the author of City of the Saints, Rock Band Fights Evil, Space Eldritch, and Crecheling from Wordfire Press, and from Baen: Witchy Eye, Witchy Winter, Witchy Kingdom, and Serpent Daughter; The Cunning Man and The Jupiter Knife with coauthor Aaron Michael Ritchey; In the Palace of Shadow and Joy as well as Between Princesses and Other Jobs; Abbott in Darkness; and with M.A. Rothman, Time Trials.
