Hello, I nominate Mission 3-R by J. Michael. It's about how a treasonous General Ben Jackson steals a top secret trillion dollar time machine and leads a group of rogue American soldiers back in time 400 years, to prepare his African ancestors for when the first colonists set foot on the dark continent, and prevent the slave trade from taking place.

He however finds that things are not as they should seem 400 years ago, and he is forced to navigate through a web of deceit, conspiracies, murder, lust and revenge. A friend recommended this book and I couldn't put it down once I started. You should definitely check it out on Amazon
