The first book in the Jigsaw series, Powder Keg, by David Alyn Gordon, follows a group of people, members of the Temporal Guardian Foundation, an organization whose job is to preserve history as it is, keep our reality intact and in check, and prevent this world from falling apart in the process. However, their opponents have a different plan in mind. Novus Ordo, a villainous organization, decides to start a secret operation titled Powder Keg all over Europe to create opportunities for themselves during and after World War I. Not one of them thought that their plans were going to be disrupted by the sudden appearance of Ahriman, the Devil himself, who has other plans for the human race...and the only ones who can stop this from happening are the members of the Temporal Guardian Foundation. Let the fight for this reality begin.
David Alyn Gordon transports us to different times in history with such ease that it feels more real than expected! His style of writing and the story itself invite the reader to be present in the moment as they're surrounded by some of the crucial events in history in front of their very eyes. The excitement that Gordon creates while building the plot is part of a captivating storyline that encompasses time and space, where characters, who are doing their best to act humanely and to stay alive in the process, find their destinies entwined. A slow-paced read that will pull you inside the familiar and pivotal parts of world history, offering information about what is going on every step of the way. It is an engaging story with a riveting approach to world history, time travel, teleportation, and human connection.
