In The Timefarer by Harrison Becket, Jack is a young man living in mid-nineties Chicago. Jack hates everything about his life and struggles to understand the people of his time. All he sees is a deplorable mass of humanity bent on profiteering at all costs. When Jack is involved in a bus accident, he suffers a blow to the head that unlocks the amazing ability to travel through time. Jack travels to the past to the only place he felt joy and contentment. But his new ability lands him in an age old struggle for the survival of mankind. An ancient human-like creature, known as the Ogre King, is determined to wipe out the entire human race for a past wrong. It is up to Jack and his new friends to find a way to stop him.
Initially, I had a negative reaction to Harrison Becket's main character, Jack. Jack is someone who hates everything and everyone at the beginning of the story. I was so glad when he bumped his head and found something worth caring about. In a sense, Jack is the Ogre King in character at the beginning, but is able to get over the hate and find contentment. The Timefarer explores the reasons people hate and sometimes go to war. As a black person who has experienced the evil that happens when rich men take and take without a care of who gets hurt, this book spoke to me on a higher level. The human race could learn a lot from this book about self-destructive behavior and the real fruits of greed and power.
