Time of Destruction by John C. Meyer is a mind trippin’ roller coaster ride through time. In the year 2085, most of the earth is destroyed by a massive explosion at Hydroteck. No one knows the cause of this catastrophic event. Above the earth, the space colony Lagrange watches the earth explode. Cut off from Earth and their moon base, Lagrange is a stranded dome orbiting in space. On earth chaos erupts. A “war of dominance” emerges between nomadic clans and the scientific community. A new world order must be secured. Two survivors from 2245 AD travel back in time before the destruction. These time travelers rescue Austin Johnson and Jerry Sheryl. Austin and Jerry are Hydroteck’s key players in the invention of the IPT device, Interdimensional Power Transmitter. Whoever owns this device will control the world’s energy. If the world is to recover, Austin and Jerry must travel back to the pivotal moment in time and stop the “Time of Destruction.” Caught in the paradox of time streaming, how many lifetimes will it take to undo this tragedy?

Tighten your seat belt because you are going to be launched back and forth through time. John C. Meyer describes a thrilling science fiction novel in Time of Destruction. Meyer captivates the reader from the very beginning by jumping immediately into the action. There is a large cast of characters that populates many streams of time. However, the main characters grow and develop dynamically through the high paced action. Meyer writes short chapters which increase the speed of the plot action. He often ends a chapter with a suspenseful scene. Then in the next chapter, he catapults the action into another time and location. Although the narrative changes time frames constantly, the transitions are smooth and the action flows steadily. No hiccups, or confusion. Meyer explains his futuristic ideals with daring, yet believable creativity. The science is not too “out of this world,” allowing the reader to easily understand the fundamental nature of time and space travel, as well as the IPT device. The paradoxes of time travel boggle the mind. However, the narrative’s main conflict results in man’s desire for power, and what he will do to achieve it.

Providing energy to a world that is always hungry for more is as necessary in 2085 as it is in 2015. Time of Destruction, by John C. Meyer, is an intriguing look at how advancements in technology bring about a destructive battle that threatens to kill billions of people and keep one man in control of it all. Arthur Helman has spent much of his adult life putting together the most successful energy supply company on the face of the earth, Lunarcom. He doesn't intend to see all of his hard work go down the drain as the Interdemensional Power Transmitter (IPT) discovered by Hydroteck begins its testing procedures. If IPT is able to get online and perform as Caroline Frazier hopes it will, providing electrical power at almost no cost, Helman and Lunarcom will be ruined. A stolen time travel suit had already aided Helman in the building of his empire, and he is ready to use it again to protect it. Rescued from the explosion are two of Hydroteck's best engineers, Austin Johnson and Jerry Sheryl, who are swept into a time paradox that has them traveling between various events spanning time from 2085 and 2245 as they search for the cause of the tragedy and a means of preventing the destruction. Of course, along the way they are entangled with Helman and Caroline in an epic struggle.
