A World Where Time Fights Back
If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if time itself decided to rebel, Blood of Time: A Time Travel Adventure by Scott Swisher gives you the answer—chaos, heartbreak, and mind-bending excitement. The novel, second in The Ring Fold Chronicles series, doesn’t ease readers in gently. Instead, it drops them straight into a fractured reality where timelines collide and humanity’s fate teeters on the edge of oblivion.
Scott takes the intricate rules of time travel and spins them into a deeply emotional, pulse-pounding narrative. It’s science fiction with a human heartbeat—gritty, cinematic, and full of impossible choices. The story picks up where Ring Fold left off, but the stakes are higher, the enemies are smarter, and the clock is running out faster than ever.
At its heart, Blood of Time follows Jordan—a powerful time agent whose ability to bend the timestream makes her both humanity’s savior and its greatest vulnerability. But there’s a new threat in play: Darren Kraus, a rogue agent with a team called Kronos, genetically engineered to outmatch Jordan and her allies in every way. The result? A race through eras and dimensions that feels both intimate and cosmic.
The Battle Between Choice and Consequence
What makes Blood of Time truly stand out isn’t just the adrenaline-fueled plot—it’s the emotional depth pulsing beneath the action. Scott doesn’t just tell a story about saving the world; he explores what it means to carry the burden of doing so.
Jordan’s journey is as internal as it is external. She’s wrestling with secrets from her past, memories that threaten to break her as much as they define her. And as the fabric of time tears apart, every decision she makes ripples across centuries. Readers can feel the weight of it—the exhaustion, the fear, and the fleeting hope that somehow she’ll hold it all together.
Meanwhile, Darren Kraus and his genetically enhanced team bring an unsettling edge to the narrative. They’re faster, stronger, and programmed for one purpose: take Jordan down. Yet Scott gives even his villains layers. Darren isn’t a simple antagonist—he’s a mirror, reflecting what happens when power and purpose collide in the wrong hands.
Every confrontation between Jordan and Darren feels like more than a fight—it’s a philosophical tug-of-war between control and chaos, destiny and free will. And through it all, Scott reminds readers that time doesn’t care about morality or intention. It just moves… and sometimes it breaks.
Twists, Turns, and Time-Travel Mayhem
Let’s be clear: Blood of Time doesn’t play by predictable rules. Scott seems to thrive on surprise, threading each chapter with cliffhangers, double-crosses, and sudden revelations that make you question what’s real. Reality bends, eras merge, and readers are never entirely sure who—or what—they can trust.
The book’s pacing mirrors the urgency of its premise. One moment, Jordan and her team are navigating the aftermath of a shattered timeline. The next, they’re leaping centuries ahead to stop a catastrophe before it starts. Each twist feels earned, never forced, and every revelation pushes the characters—and readers—deeper into the paradox of time’s fragile web.
And while the narrative leaps between moments and worlds, Scott’s storytelling keeps everything grounded. His prose is sharp yet fluid, with dialogue that feels lived-in and human. There’s tension, humor, and the occasional moment of quiet reflection that sneaks up and hits you right in the chest.
Fans of high-concept sci-fi will find the technical world-building impressive, but even casual readers can sink into the story without feeling lost. The science feels believable without overpowering the emotion. It’s a rare balance—part thriller, part thought experiment, and entirely addictive.
The Man Behind the Mayhem
Scott Swisher’s path to authorship feels almost as fascinating as his books. By day, he’s a Senior Software Developer and Systems Architect—a professional world grounded in logic and precision. But somewhere between coding and problem-solving, he’s managed to carve out a second life as a storyteller. Living in Northern California with his wife and two children, Scott somehow finds time to write stories that make readers question the fabric of existence itself.
That duality—structured technologist and imaginative dreamer—seeps into every page of The Ring Fold Chronicles. You can sense his fascination with systems, cause and effect, and the fragility of order. But more importantly, you can feel his heart in the chaos.
With Blood of Time, Scott proves that the series isn’t just about time travel—it’s about resilience, connection, and the choices that echo through generations. His characters bleed, stumble, and persist. They’re messy and brave and painfully human, even when reality itself is crumbling around them.
The best part? This isn’t the end. The third installment of The Ring Fold Chronicles is already in progress, promising even more time-bending adventures and impossible decisions. For readers craving high-stakes storytelling with emotional weight, Blood of Time is a must-read.
A Story That Stays With You
By the time you turn the final page, you’ll realize Blood of Time isn’t just a sequel—it’s an evolution. It expands the universe, deepens the characters, and raises the emotional bar. It asks questions that linger long after the last line: How far would you go to fix the past? And if time gave you a second chance… would you take it?
