Synopsis

"Amazing! One of the twistiest time-tales I've ever read ..."—Diana Gabaldon

"Crichtonesque thrillers don't come much better than this intricate outing which combines a fantastic premise … with a closed-circle whodunit. Readers won't be able to turn the pages fast enough."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

PANGEA, 202,320,641 BC
Quantum physicist Sam Anderson is trapped, 202 million years in the past. Sam has helped create a machine able to unpick the threads of spacetime, casting objects eternally into the
past. It’s useful only as a permanent means of disposal—and in a world where criminals need to be punished, that’s exactly how it will be used.

But Sam’s invention will become his undoing, the judicial penalty for a crime that he confessed to, but didn’t commit. It’s a death sentence.

Now he’s on a raw and hostile planet, stalked by dinosaurs, in the midst of a mass extinction event, and unlikely to survive the night. But he can’t give up, because he has to save his family, who are 202 million years in the future …

UNITED STATES, AD 2027
Adeline is an orphan—her mother died three years ago when she was sixteen, and her father is lost 202 million years ago, in the late Triassic.

Adeline knows he sacrificed his life to save hers, but her determination to find the truth reveals more questions. What has unnerved her father’s ex-colleagues? What are they secretly digging for in the desert?

Adeline will do whatever it takes to get to the truth, because somewhere, 202 million years in the past, her father is still alive …

Goodreads review by Mona on January 09, 2023

This is so poorly written I’m doing something I don’t usually do and writing a review without finishing the book. The writing is so trite: one cliche after another. For example: “He felt as though the sea was testing him, and there was no pass or fail. Only live or die. The crescent moon glowing...” S......more

I must admit I’m a fan of Riddle’s work! I enjoy some sci-fi but I’m very picky with what I read. Riddle’s books just hit that sweet spot for me. If you hadn’t already guessed this story is about time travel, but in an interesting way. Set in the near future, a company called Absolom now has a strang......more

I came across ‘Lost in Time’ when it was shortlisted for the Goodreads Science Fiction award for 2022. This is a very entertaining story blending aspects of time travel and crime. The key underlying premise for how time travel is used is quite unique. Sam Anderson is a scientist – part of a team who......more

Goodreads review by Kimberly on September 15, 2022

I'm a big fan of A. G. Riddle. His books are smart, imaginative and serve to get you thinking about life and the world and about what we don't know yet. This story is about a traumatized young girl, separated unjustly from her father. The tale tracks her efforts and life choices necessary to find ju......more

Goodreads review by Bandit on July 19, 2022

So, this was from a standing debate with a friend over the quality of self-published works. My friend (a self-published author himself) posited that the quality is just as good as traditionally published work, citing a list of authors who started off self-publishing and they got famous.
