EARTH'S PAST MAY HOLD THE KEY TO ITS FUTURE

Marty Cohen was a gifted linguist and student of ancient military strategy who stepped away from academic Egyptology and opened a woodworking shop. Away from the bitter politics and petty rivalries, he's happy to take care of his people, play the occasional war game, and try to make a good life.

Yet when business takes a turn for the worse, an opportunity appears. He gets summoned back to Egypt: an off-the-grid dig funded by an eccentric financier has discovered texts that may be the earliest Egypt has produced, and they'll pay Marty silly amounts of cash just to fly out and take one little look.

Marty turned his back on the academia game, but he's a small business owner who has to make payroll, and he can't say no to the money.

But the texts open doors to an astonishing journey: the ragtag team of archaeologists finds itself in protohistoric North Africa, a drying land dominated by horrors, where humanity is badly in need of champions.

And behind the war against the fearsome overlords lies a greater struggle: Marty and his team have been chosen to be champions of all Earth and to run a gauntlet on humanity's behalf.

Failure will mean extinction.

At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Praise for Time Trials:
"Here's a book you really might like. Time Trials is a deadly adventure in which a band of modern humans get taken back in time to Earth's pre-history—and they find that humanity is herded and hunted by alien monsters, who look like the gods of Ancient Egypt. Time Trials has wonder and action in equal measure, with humor and even a little romance on the side. The characters are so charming and diverse, I wish I knew them in real life. For you gamers, there's a fun little bonus too, because there are fantasy gaming elements woven subtly into the story. Take a look at Time Trials—you might find it's a new favorite."
—Sherrilyn Kenyon, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Time Trials takes an eclectic band of 21st century adventurers — led by brilliant, unorthodox Chinese-Jewish Egyptologist Marty Cohen — back in time to the earliest pre-history of Egypt to battle demons, hobnob with the ancient king who first united Egypt, and discover things about themselves they never knew. Oh, and along the way, prevent the total extermination of the human race. It's a nonstop action story that mingles strains of Indiana Jones and Stargate in a blend that's all its own."
—David Weber, New York Times bestselling author of the Honor Harrington series

"If Michael Crichton came back from the dead riding on a T-Rex, that would be almost as much fun as Time Trials. This is a must-read!"
—Larry Correia, New York Times bestselling author of Monster Hunter International

"Time Trials is a superb, well-researched blend of archaeology and mythos, like Indiana Jones fighting the Egyptian pantheon using elements of gaming. I highly enjoyed it."
—Dakota Krout, Bestselling author of Divine Dungeon, and Completionist Chronicles

"Rothman and Butler are masterful storytellers. Time trials is an isekai adventure romp through history, chock-full of compelling characters, awesome action, and fantastic Gamelit elements that kept me flipping pages late into the night."
—James A. Hunter, Bestselling author of Vigil's Justice, Rogue Dungeon, and Viridian Gate Online

"An entertaining first entry in what promises to be a fantastic time-travel series."
—Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

USA TODAY bestselling author M.A. Rothman is an accidental novelist whose writing career started when he began writing down the bedtime stories he told his boys. He's an engineer first and foremost, with a background in the sciences, and through sheer happenstance, his writing habit turned into something more than a hobby.

His writing spans the genres of science fiction, techno-thriller, and his own unique spin on LitRPG.

When not writing, he enjoys cooking, learning about new technology, travel, and spending time with his family.

D.J. ("Dave") Butler grew up in swamps, deserts, and mountains. After messing around for years with the practice of law, he finally got serious and turned to his lifelong passion of storytelling. He now writes adventure stories for readers of all ages, plays guitar, and spends as much time as he can with his family. He is the author of City of the Saints, Rock Band Fights Evil, Space Eldritch, and Crecheling from Wordfire Press, and Witchy Eye, Witchy Winter, Witchy Kingdom, and Serpent Daughter, and The Cunning Man and The Jupiter Knife with coauthor Aaron Michael Ritchey, In the Palace of Shadow and Joy, and Abbott in Darkness, from Baen. --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
USA TODAY bestselling author, M.A. Rothman, has always been a creative type with a strong background in science and math. He's used those strengths to great effect in Silicon Valley over a 30+ year career; yet if you polled his former English teachers, asking them if they expected him to become a novelist, they'd all laugh hysterically and say, "No."
More than a few handful of years ago he had kids, and the bedtime stories began flowing. From these stories bloomed an accidental writing career.
As a well-traveled engineer, with a strong background in the sciences, this accidental novelist began writing stories that focused on two things: technology and international intrigue.
His writing spans the genres of science fiction, techno-thriller, and his own unique spin on LitRPG.
When not writing, he enjoys cooking, learning about new technology, travel, and spending time with his family.
