Seventeen-year-old Dan Renfrew's life is anything but ordinary. In addition to facing the usual teenage challenges, he has a secret.

When rogue jumpers threaten global chaos, Dan and his partner Sam embark on a perilous mission to Mongolia in the year 1179. There they encounter a brave teen fighting to save his kidnapped wife. They soon realize they're in a desperate race against time to save the Mongol Empire--and the future of the entire world.

5 Stars!

5 Stars! Another winner from author Andrew Varga! This is the 3rd book, & the 3rd 5 star rating from me in the ‘A Jump in Time’ series and while it can be read as a standalone, I’d highly recommend reading this series in order, I’ve loved every book so far. In this book, the main character, 17 year old Dan & jump partner Sam, jump back to Mongolia in 1179 to help 17 year old Temujin get his wife, Borte, back from the Merkits. Not meerkats like Timon from The Lion King, Merkits, a tribe in 12th century Mongolia. According to Wikipedia, after a struggle of over 20 years, they were defeated in 1200 by Genghis Khan and were incorporated into the Mongol Empire. I love how this author makes it exciting to learn history. If I had a history teacher that made history fun to learn and imagine, I’d have learned a lot more. I’d categorize this book as historical fiction, action packed with a smidge of romance and life of a 17 year old high school student who time travels and is trying to stop an evil senator from taking over the world! Lots of interesting and entertaining information and this series should be added to middle or high school history classes. I cannot wait to read the rest of this series. Where will Dan & Sam go next? The Roman Empire? The Wild West? Maybe an African tribe as they rounded up and sold slaves? That would be a great way to teach kids about the start of slavery in the US & how it came to be. This really is a great series and one of my absolute favorites! Highly recommend this book & this series! 100% absolutely worth it! *I received this book at no charge & I voluntarily left this review.*
