Warrior

In the first book in the Time Hunters series, genetically bred machine-like warriors, Warlords and Warfem (men and women respectively), come from the planet Vardon. Other than warring with the vicious Xerans, they police time travel to protect the people in the past, the present, and the future. The Warlords rely on their computer and sensory implants to do their jobs, which makes them tougher and smarter than most normal humans.
Temporal Enforcer and Warlord Galar Arvid goes back in time to 2008 to save artist Jessica Kelly from a time jumping thief/murderer, but the attempted murderer isn’t an art thief as Galar and his team believed. Instead, it’s a zealot, religious cyborg assassin from a Xeran faction, and he’s determined to show more kill Jessica and her mysterious roommate.
Jessica is a struggling human artist in her own time, but her supposed “death” rocketed her to stardom, and people three hundred years into the future are collecting her art. Torn between the life she left behind and the one awaiting her in the future, she finds peace and understanding from the man who saved her life. But Jessica is more than just human, and her newfound abilities—along with the fact there’s a spy on Galar’s team—threaten to destroy the happiness she’s found in Galar’s world.
Galar and Jessica are interesting characters, but I couldn’t relate to them. There’s desire, friendship, and trust between them, but then doubt destroys that trust. Though I understand why Galar purposely hurt and accused Jessica of espionage and murder, she forgave him way too easily, and that affected my liking of both characters.
Galar first appeared as a ten-year-old in the novella “Warfem.” In that book, he was a brilliant smart-mouthed kid who helped his parents fight the bad guys, but there was no brief recap about it in this story, which would’ve further explained his past and answered some questions.
Frieka, my favorite character from “Jane’s Warlord,” returned in this one, but he didn’t play as large a role. Riane, Dona, and Dyami were awesome characters, and I definitely liked them. The Sela aliens and the T’lir were confusing, and I’m not even sure what the T’lir is. There are unanswered questions and loose ends, but I think the plot lines carry over into the other books.
Overall, I enjoyed the time traveling parts and side characters, but I just wished I could’ve connected better with the H/h.

Simply fabulous! In "Warrior: The Time Hunters", Angela Knight has returned to the world of "Jane's Warlord" and "Warfem" to bring us a smoking hot rocking good time of a read that takes place 200+ years in our future. Time travel is commonplace, but the Temporal Enforcers use time travel to try and prevent needless deaths.

Jessica is an artist. She spends her time and energy working on her paintings and scrabbling to make ends meet and keep herself in art supplies. When she's awakened by a monster with a knife at her throat asking about her roommate, she's terrified but determined which earns her a knife in the stomach. Suddenly her house is filled with huge people talking in a language she doesn't understand and fighting to the death. show more Now she's awake, healed, and apparently jumped into the future never to return to her time. And she's changing, developing strange powers she doesn't understand or know how to use. And then there's the hunky eforcer assigned to protect her. He's really hot, really misunderstood, and really getting to her...and she appears to be getting to him too!

Knight's new series is bound to be a big hit. I couldn't put this book down and devoured it in one sitting. My only complaint is there's not yet a release date for book 2! show less

24th century genetically engineered Temporal Enforcer Galar Arvid is sent to the 21st century to determine if the murder of Jessica Kelly was by someone in her time or by someone who jumped through time. What he finds is much more complicated than a murder for greed. He brings Jessica to the Enforcement headquarters to try to figure out what is going on. Soon she becomes the target of an assassin, finds herself gaining unusual powers, falling for her guardian, getting dragged into a rescue mission and doing lots of fighting and time jumping. Looking forward to seeing where this series goes.

Galar is a Temperol Enforcer who goes back in time to prevent a time traveling crime, ends up saving Jessica and bringing her back with him to the future. He and his enforcers attempt to track down the Xeron trying to kill her and figure out why they are after her. Then she starts exhibiting alien powers and falls under suspicion. Interesting storyline, not everything is explained but worth reading more of this series IMO.
