In T.I.M.E.: Time's Interactive Module Entity by Jerry B. Sanders, Carl discovers a strange device in the woods while hunting in Missouri. He is only fifteen, but he is obsessed with the device. He wants to figure out what it does and how it works. He cannot share his discovery with his professors for fear of it being confiscated. Later in life, Carl loses jobs and almost gets a divorce due to spending a lot of time working on the device. One day, as Carl is experimenting with the device using an oscilloscope, it disappears mysteriously. It later reemerges seven days later. Carl theorizes that the device had travelled into the future. His theory proves to be true, and with tireless work, he creates a machine that can travel not only into the future but also back to the past. What will happen as Carl utilizes his device at various events?

T.I.M.E. by Jerry B. Sanders is wonderfully written and takes the reader on a gripping journey filled with unexpected directions and moral dilemmas. I loved the themes covered, such as science and our moral obligation to use technology for the betterment of humanity. This thought-provoking work also got me thinking about how AI can be used to do good. Jerry used suspense effectively, and the vivid descriptions of events helped create a mental picture of what was happening. The excellent narration added to the overall beauty of the work, and the reader will also appreciate the seamless flow of the plot, which leaves no room for confusion. The language used is easy to understand, which makes the work accessible to all audiences. I look forward to reading something else by Jerry B. Sanders.

T.I.M.E.: Time's Interactive Module Entity by Jerry. B. Sanders follows Carl Shelton, whose childhood discovery of an alien-like device changes his life forever. When he finds the object as a teen, he becomes completely focused on understanding its nature. His obsession follows him into adulthood, shaping his career, marriage, family life, and everyday choices. The device turns out to be a time-travel module, which he gradually learns to master. Soon enough, he becomes drawn into epic missions with an unlikely ally. Historical events, from Lincoln’s assassination to the American Revolution, serve as backdrops for Carl's interventions. His experiments with the device go on to alter history in unexpected ways. However, it also brings ethical questions and personal challenges into his life. Can he learn to balance family life, ambition, and the limits of time?

T.I.M.E.: Time's Interactive Module Entity by Jerry. B. Sanders offers readers a thought-provoking portrayal of motifs like scientific curiosity and obsession. Carl’s pursuit of knowledge fast-tracks his personal growth but also slowly gnaws away at his close relationships. The time travel device is depicted as a fascinating enigma. It helps solidify the story while posing concerns about ethics and the effects of one's decisions on that person's life and the wider world around them. Through Carl's mind-blowing quests, the author explores the profound cost of his time travel journeys on history and his life. From a scientific POV, the story does a great job of blending physics into the storyline without losing readers' attention. The addition of real physics makes the book feel exciting and believable. I highly recommend this book to sci-fi enthusiasts, readers who love morally grey protagonists, and fans of intricate time-travel stories.

T.I.M.E. by Jerry B. Sanders is a gripping blend of time travel, sci-fi, historical fiction, action thriller, and clean romance. It is November 2003. Hunting deer in the woods on his uncle’s estate in Missouri, teenage Carl Shelton discovers an onyx-like glowing object. Curious, Carl takes it home. The object becomes the obsession of his life. The enigmatic multiple lines of digits pulsing under the object’s crystalline surface intrigue Carl into seventeen years of experiments. The breakthrough comes when the object vanishes before Carl’s eyes and reappears a week later. Carl discovers that the object enables time travel. Soon Carl starts traveling to the past and to the future. As he travels, Carl feels like someone is watching him. What will Carl discover travelling time? And who is watching Carl?

Jerry B. Sanders’ T.I.M.E. is one of the most fascinating sci-fi novels I have come across recently. I loved every moment of reading this marvelous, stellar time-travel story, shining with love and lessons for humanity that Carl learns and teaches us as he travels through time. Carl’s journey to the past made me reflect on whether history could and should indeed be changed. The butterfly effects of the changes he was making to the past were thought-provoking and hilarious. Carl’s travels to the future made me worry about the apocalypse. The subplot of Carl and romance was heartwarming. I highly recommend this praiseworthy story to time travel and historical fiction fans. History teachers may find that this novel offers efficacious teaching tools. A delightful time travel treat! I look forward to the sequel.
