Four Minutes is a brain busting and fascinating military, spy and sci-fi thriller combo containing blazing action sequences, world altering technology and enough time travel to make you exclaim “Great Scott!” Andrews and Wilson have delivered another compelling techno-thriller that will leave you breathless and contemplative.
Chief Tyler Brooks is one of the best special ops leaders on the planet. After a mission that goes devastatingly wrong and leaves him with more questions than answers, he’s recruited to join Task Force Omega with the promise to get some of those answers while leading an elite team of operators who will gain an advantage over their adversaries by having access to technology that gives them a look at the future. However, there are risks and a cost for using this technology. Furthermore, they are being hunted by an unknown force lurking in the shadows with plans of changing the world order. With nuclear war staring them in the face, Chief Brooks and his team will have to do everything in their power to stop the unimaginable from happening. The question is – is glimpsing the future four minutes at a time enough to save the day?
Four Minutes is a great concept that is executed flawlessly. Yes, there are military thrillers out there that include futuristic technology and there are also plenty of time travel novels out there. But combining them, adding in a dash of CIA secrecy and manipulation to keep you on your toes and throwing in a twist of only being able to go 28 days into the future and stay for only 4 minutes at a time is a differentiator. It ratchets up the suspense and the pressure the characters – who are required to have very special skills and elite brain function – feel because time is of the essence with every single operation. It’s compelling stuff. Not that we should be surprised when the dynamic writing duo is behind the pen.
If you’re looking for a novel to break your brain thinking about the laws of physics and the space-time continuum while being entertained by gun battles and a race to save the world, then Four Minutes is squarely in your wheelhouse. It will entertain, mystify and engage you. Kicking off a series with infinite potential.
