As World War 1 rages, things are becoming tense between the USA and Mexico in Jigsaw: Sonora by David Alyn Gordon as the contents of the Zimmerman telegraph become known. Matteo and his group are on a reconnaissance mission when they see something strange: a 500-foot cylindrical cigar-shaped object. In the present, the foundation has been attacked, and all the systems are down. The Garth team is sent to Basiluzzo Island to find out what happened and see if they can restore power. The Global Harmony, the group they are up against, is also very powerful, and they are determined to change the course of the war. Meanwhile, Noah's team has time-traveled to the World War I era, and they are busy engaging the operatives of this rogue organization.

Jigsaw by David Alyn Gordon is truly an adventure in time and history. Once I started reading this wonderfully written book, I couldn't put it down as the events in the flawlessly flowing plotline unfolded. The suspense and the twists and turns kept me glued to my couch as I looked forward to subsequent chapters. It also encouraged me to go back in history and read about World War I and something else that I didn't know about: Mexico losing some of its territories to the USA. It got me thinking about the impact on the communities living there at the time. This thought-provoking material also stimulated my thoughts about other issues, such as nationalism. The extermination of minorities using modified viruses caught my attention, as many scientists are currently engaged in gain-of-function research that could be misused. I am looking forward to reading more by this author.

Jigsaw: Sonora is a work of fiction in the science fiction, suspense, and action genres. Penned by author David Alyn Gordon, the story follows the Temporal Guardians, Francesca and Noah, as they confront the Renegade Novus Ordo operatives of Global Harmony. Their plan, Project Sonora, aims to alter history by drawing the United States out of World War One, sparking continental conflict in the Americas, and releasing a genetically coded pathogen to manipulate population segments. What results is an intense, thrilling tale where danger lurks at every turn. The author has a real knack for timing and tension in a journey through a world where reality hangs in the balance, filled with intricate twists and turns as the Temporal Guardians battle against the forces of Global Harmony.

The stakes are high as Francesca and Noah navigate through time, and the character presentation works brilliantly from both the exterior descriptions of physicality and action, and the inner narrative of their speech, thoughts, and emotions. David Alyn Gordon's vivid storytelling extends into the setting and worldbuilding too, crafting a world that makes good logical sense and informs the attitudes and behaviors of its characters well. The detail in the scenes immerses the reader in a multi-sensory world where the fight for reality is paramount and readers feel bonded to the characters and their quest. As the Temporal Guardians race against time to thwart Global Harmony's sinister plans, the suspense builds, leaving readers eager for the next installment. Overall, I would certainly recommend Jigsaw: Sonora to science fiction fans everywhere seeking their next captivating read.
