Back-Tracker

by Bob Blink

Corrector's Jake Waters returns in a new adventure. Much has changed over the past couple of years for Jake. He's been able to fit into a lifestyle he finds more to his liking, thanks to a friend in the FBI he can turn to when something that needs correcting develops. Of course the obligation works two ways, and occasionally Jake finds himself in a position where he needs to help out in return. Now married to Karin, with a young daughter, he lives in California where his wife's work has taken them. The last few months had been ideal, with no major incidents, his daughter passing the first year milestone, and his best friend Nate getting married. It was too good to last. The first unexpected event was an attempted kidnapping of his wife and daughter. Then it was an attempt on the life of his friend Zack. The note that arrived with demands were unlike anything Jake had ever encountered. Someone knew about him! They knew what he could do, and demanded he use his ability to help them. The request involved something Jake had never attempted before, and he wasn't certain it was even possible. The motivation for the request was actually reasonable, but the means of forcing his hand were not. Something had to be done to remove the threats. At first Jake had assumed that he could resolve the matter as easily as he had other matters, but as he becomes more involved, it is clear that the man behind the extortion has used his knowledge of what Jake can do to hide himself very effectively. Jake back-tracks farther than he's ever done before in an attempt to locate the man behind his troubles. Just when he thinks he has the matter well in hand, something happens that shows he's been wrong the entire time about what is involved. Suddenly, the problem of protecting his family and friends becomes much more difficult, and the demand being made of him takes on a far darker nature. The people who know about him and the organization they represent present a dilemma far more difficult than he'd imagined. Just trying to find them will put his life at risk, assuming he can do so at all.

3/4 of the way fighting to finish this book, gave up. Maybe I'll go back to it, but for now I'm done with it and the series. Too slow, lost interest.

Another 6 star deserving book. As amazing as the 1st book the corrector. Same intelligent, quirky, and just plan old thought-provoking and kewl story line- but taking it a step further then the 1st as it gets more personal this time, see my rating for the 1st book the corrector and I say ditto on this one. Who wouldn't want to have the ability to 'redo" events that originally turn out destructive but can be changed for the positive? (albeit flirting with the potential danger, due to paradox worries) Jake Waters is the guy that has this power and uses it for good- always putting much thought into potential dangerous, due to paradox dangers. Boy what a gift this is!! If better yet WHEN you read it you'll be salivating for more!!

Great 2nd book

Well written good story built on the solid character(s) from the first book. I did not find it as good as the first book but well worth the price and time to read. For many who read the reviews there were no grammar errors that I saw and the writing was well edited. If another book would be written I would purchase. Of course any book written by Bob Blink will get a look and likely bought. A good author who has written well in every book I have read Solid quality for a purchase if interested in one of his many book topics / genre.

Back-Tracker (by Bob Blink)

Jake continues to determine the limits of his ability to back track in time to change outcomes in the future. In one such jump, Jake is almost killed by a person he was unaware of when he back tracked. He finds his limit, recovers from the injury, and is able to return to his mission helping the FBI and keeping America safe along with his own family and himself. This is a great read. You can be there for another great read yourself. Just download and start reading.

Not bad but overly caught up in details

Cool ideas, nice thinking on the potential impact of this power. This book was too long for the story it was telling and could have used more editing. However the plot was complex and reasonably well thought out. I will reluctantly read the third book.
