The Torn Timeline
by Ray LeCara Jr

Shortlisted for Spinetinglers Book of the Year Award 2008

Spinetinglers Rating

Terminator for Tweens!

Sam is your typical twelve-year-old; he’s in love with a girl who doesn’t know he’s alive, and he is counting the minutes until school breaks for the holidays. However, Sam’s humdrum life is about to be abruptly interrupted.

A war has been raging for centuries. In the future, technology will have advanced so much that it is beyond earthly control. Fearless warriors battle across timelines, to stop malevolent invaders and to curb the rapid advance of cruel technologies, which threaten life as we know it.

Along with a few friends, Sam has been thrust into this war. Sam and his intrepid schoolmates must form new alliances and battle demons, if they are to fight against the future and get back to their past.

Will Sam, Cutter, Mouse, and Breather succeed in their mission? Only time will tell.... I first became aware of Ray Le Cara, Jr. just over a year ago, when I read his first novel, The Forgotten Prophecy. I was impressed then, and I have to say, I am doubly-impressed after reading his latest book, The Torn Timeline.

The Torn Timeline is a treat for all kids, young and old alike. It is packed to the brim with terrifically terrifying arch villains and bold heroes and heroines. The novel also contains a few life-lessons for all those “loveable” preteens, but never preaches to its audience.

In this reader’s opinion, The Torn Timeline is reminiscent of James Cameron’s Terminator, with the fun-factor of Spy Kids thrown in for good measure. These two elements combined create a wonderfully weird and scary world, which will keep you in a state of excited anticipation until the very last page.

In short, Le Cara has struck gold again, this time with a novel that thrills and delights in equal measure.

The Torn Timeline is a must-read for any preteen, and a must-buy for any “post-teen.”
