Jason Hudson thinks he can tinker with the past but, when he struggles to find anyone alive back in his own time, he realises the wound on his head is the least of his problems.
His search for the truth soon becomes a fight for survival and a race against evil, with any chance of correcting the timeline slowly slipping away. *** Time Split is also available in paperback.

Patricia Smith worked for fourteen years in technical support and as a computer programmer before changing career to help young people to improve their numeracy and English skills.
She has enjoyed writing stories all of her life and her first novel Time Split, which made several best sellers lists, was published in 2011. This was soon followed by her Distant Suns stories, Islands - The Epidemic and more recently the long awaited sequel to Time Split, Time Split - Briggs.
Her choice of genre stems from her passion for astronomy, her love of apocalyptic thrillers and the 'What if?' scenario.
She strives in her writing to give the reader a roller-coaster ride of emotions and excitement, mixed in with a good dash of fear - all from the safety of their armchair.

Probably a 3.5 star but losing a half as the ending felt rushed.
Overall a nice take on the time-travel genre adding in alternate realities which in this case focuses on a nuclear catastrophe. Some elements needed a greater technical review particularly the effects of a nuclear blast but otherwise the plot holds together.
The story is a fanciful trip of unexpected consequences that can be caused by time travel. In this case something seemingly small can cause a cascading chain of events. The characters were interesting although in a short book not completely developed. An enjoyable read and a quick one, too.
This novel moves quickly, but is entertaining. It has time travel and post nuclear war elements. I feel it could have been longer and more in depth characte-wise. But for sheer entertainment value, I found it perfect
So, this is her first book? I almost stopped reading it, as I thought (mistakenly) that it wasn't going to go anywhere, I was wrong, just took it a bit to get started, now I'm thinking about buying the sequel......
Great reading material. Splitting a story in two to become one story makes it so intreging for ,me, the reader. That it is impossible to put the book down until the very end.
I'm not really sure why, but I wasn't expecting a lot from this book. However, I was more than pleasantly surprised right from the first chapter! It was a really good story line with some great twists and turns, and was well written! I read it in one sitting! I just couldn't put it down. Time Split has definitely got me wanting more time travel stories!!
