See all formats and editions

Six separated Travelers, each facing trouble of their own.

A malfunction of the supposedly fixed master time-travel device sends Matt and Page to 1912 San Francisco—only days apart, though that will make all the difference—and lands Turner in the middle of a desert in 1962. Meanwhile, Nye is left alone to conduct her research in the New York City of 2003, where she’s mistaken for a terrorist, as Anya goes back to the summer of 2000 to try to change her personal past—with disastrous results…

The series continues with Book 3: Uncertain Murder, Book 4: Prohibited Activities, and Book 5: Temporal Entanglement.

In the shadow of Mt. Fuji, the oppressive Batsu government bestows boons on privileged citizens while leaving most to fend for themselves on the fringes. After a disastrous job ends with enforcers hunting him, reformed thief Roshike runs—right into the heart of their regime, the fortified Gaku complex, to take on an almost impossible task. And he just might stand a slim chance of success, if only he’ll accept some help. But first he has to figure out who to trust.

The end is coming. Everything will change. But the moment has been prepared for...

When everything goes wrong, they keep going on...

An excellent continuation of book 1

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

Having introduced the characters and their story, book two focuses on the separate adventures of four Travelers who are accidentally separated in time and location when all are trying to Travel to 2013. Each Traveler's story proceeds apace through this book, adding more to their individual personalities. Though I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I'd've given 4-1/2 stars if possible; half a star off for the rather abrupt and inconclusive ending. No hint of Turner's progress and the blurbs for books 3 and 4 show no indication of Turner's progress. <sigh>

Good story, not so great writing style...

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018

What do I say? I love reading, and I love reading everything. Not just one style of writing. I think the underlying story of Centenary Separation is good, but the way the story is written left a bit to be desired. I just couldn't stay engaged more than a few minutes at a time, and I'm a person who will read for hours if left uninterrupted normally.

Second in a well-crafted and skilfully plotted time travel series

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2020

*I received a free copy of this book, with thanks to the author. The decision to review and my opinions are my own.*

Centenary Separation is the second novel in the Watchbearer’s series and, while I always recommend reading a series in order to get the full backstory and development, James Litherland has provided a nifty summary at the beginning to catch readers up on events so far, so you can hit the ground running with this one if you wish.

Speaking of hitting the ground running, the time travelling research team are having to do exactly that! Having pretty much assembled most of the team by the end of the previous book, they all split into smaller groups again to go their separate ways. Anya, Nye and Tate plan to return to their research goals from base camp, whilst Turner and Page (and Verity and Matt, who are ‘civilians’ involved with the group) plan to test the restored time travelling devices with a quick trip back and forth in time.

Unfortunately, as is becoming a regular occurrence, the devices malfunction and scatter the four travellers across time and America. With hitmen, the FBI, suffragettes, lawyers, pregnancies and the Spanish Flu to deal with, the travellers have to somehow solve their own individual problems in isolation and work out how they can reconnect with each other to continue their mission goals.

This instalment of the series is more developed than the first – which provided a lot of the set up for the scenario and characters. I particularly enjoyed Matt, Verity and Nye’s threads in the story, as they brought in some elements of mystery, suspense and some high personal stakes. (Yes, Matt is a more empathetic character than when we last met him… clearly some space from Page has done his moral integrity some good!)

There were a couple of brief moments where I struggled to fully suspend my disbelief in events, as when Page performs an unusual ‘medical’ procedure which caused me to snigger rather childishly, but ultimately I accepted it as ‘future tech/knowledge’ at work. Other than such minor quibbles, I got pretty involved and invested in this story and the characters and how their various adventures might pan out.

This is a well-crafted and skilfully plotted sci-fi series with some action-packed mystery and thriller threads woven through it, and a touch of romance. Time travel fans will want to set their watches for the next instalment. Sorry… couldn’t resist the time travel joke! Books 3-5 are actually already available for this series, so that should keep you ticking over until the next one lands. 😉

Once they’d arrived in two thousand three, Anya would still have weeks to plan before she passed the three-year limit, to be able to make the journey in one trip. After that she could still try, but multiple trips would only add unnecessary complications and create more room for error—not the best notion when she had no idea what the consequences would be if she were to succeed in changing the past. She didn’t like to think about what might happen if she failed to save the professor.

Time travel goes a wrong!?!

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2018

I received this book free in exchange for an honest review. I have not read book 1 but, I did not get the feeling that it was an absolute necessity to read book 1 before reading book 2.

First, if you can handle or at least get past the constant jumping from character to character in each chapter; you'll find this really is a captivating book filled with twists and turns that may or may not keep you wondering!

In book 2 we find that Traveler's, Matt & Page & newly married couple Turner & Verity have been separated by accident or on purpose that's to be determined. Verity finds herself in the year 2012, in The Berkshire's; alone and wondering where her husband is or if he is even alive? Turner however discovers he is 50 years ahead of when he was supposed to have landed in 1926 in the middle of the Chihuahan Desert and only the hopes that one of his traveler friends will discover the error and rescue him. Page has landed in San Francisco, Sept. 9th, 1912; no Matt in site but at least she can travel 3 years ahead at a time when she uses her Traveler's watch. Will she choose to use the watch and hope that either she catches up with Matt or he with her? Matt shows up in 1912, but on September 25th and realizes he's just missed Page when he gets to the bank the Travelers use by a day. Does he use the Professor's watch that's unpredictable since the professors accident or take the "Slow Road?" You'll just have to read to find out!

While the 4 are trying to find their way back together, Nye, Anya & Tate continue the research of New York City after the 9/11 tragedy. Nye catches the eye of the FBI who think she could be a terrorist due to her strange behavior; however, in turn she spoils an FBI undercover operation by confronting two agents she recognized in her first encounter with the Fed's. While she is studying the New York buildings and confusing the Fed's, Anya their senior leader has a huge secret of her own for why she wanted to come back to New York; she feels it was her fault the professor died and wants to try one last time to stop the event; even if it means her own death! What she discovers shocks her but, brings about the discovery of another traveler's missing watch.

As I said, twists and turns galore but, to learn if Matt & Page manage to finally get reconnected, or if Verity & Turner are reconnected you'll just have to read the book! Especially if you want to discover what it was Anya discovered about the Professor's death and how the missing traveler watch comes into play!

What i liked about the book is that they can visit different time frames like for example the past or future and i also like how the main character never gives up in the story.
