Simon Says: Tips for the Intrepid Time Traveler (A Timebound Companion Novella): The CHRONOS Files 3.5 Kindle Edition

A CHRONOS Files Novella

Simon Rand's life isn't exactly linear, but he's okay with that. He was older than his mother when they first met, and he's traveled pretty much everywhere and everywhen the CHRONOS key can take him. Much of his childhood was spent in the 1890s on the Cyrist Farm with his friend, Kiernan Dunne, but summer vacations meant hanging out with his grandfather in the 2020s, training to be Saul Rand's right-hand man and fixing bits of history to help build Cyrist International.

But that's just Simon's day job. His true passion is time tourism--jumping right smack into the middle of historical events to see what really happened. Sometimes, however, simply witnessing an event can change it, and when Simon and Kiernan investigate the death of Simon's teenage obsession, Marilyn Monroe, it may just unravel the history he knows and loves.

Having read several of Ms. Walker's other books in this series, it was interesting to see how Simon got started. Not the jerk I was expecting! Another well written story, and my only complaint is that it's too short!

The book was interesting, but not her best I think it would have been better if it were simply longer and more developed. Still, I liked it pretty much.

Takes a really good storyteller to make readers care about the villain. Rysa Walker has done it again. Simon was my least favorite character, and now I have at least a little sympathy for the child Simon. Bravo!

Though I have read the other novellas in this series I was a bit surprised that this one covers such a short period of Simon's lifespan. Each of the other novellas covered a broader reach of how the main protagonist lived the majority of their life, but this one only extends over a single decade. Other than brvty it is a good read and serves the purpose of filling in some blanks in the main story well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simon is still a jerk
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2018

I love these books and the storylines that Rysa has weaved together. Simon, since his first introduction is a jerk. Saying it mildly. I was intrigued to find out how his story began as well as find out how Saul would come into his life. This story, although too short, gave good insight into his origin and how he became the dirtbag he is. I found it interesting to see his attraction to Marilyn Monroe and enjoyed that tale as it unfolded. It made Simon just a bit easier to tolerate and also see him from the perspective of Kiernan and why the two were friends. If you enjoyed the other books and have concluded them, this is a good follow up for some Simon backgrounds

This short story showed a bit more of Simon's "training" and explained more of why he turned out the way he did. But it also shows a bit of a different side to him. He did learn that sometimes curiosity isn't worth the outcome. A very good example of what a little, tiny change can do to the outcome of time in general. I love the way Ms. Walker thinks!

Me lei todos los libros sin parar uno tras otro, quiza no tiene muchisimo trasfondo filosofico, pero todas las ideas futuristas y la configuracion de la historia junto la evolucion de los personajes hace que te identifiques con ellos y te sumerjas en el libro yno quieras salir.
