please i need a recommendation for a “time travelling” thriller
Stephen King’s 11/22/63…….best time travel have ever read…..not at all like his others
Great minds?
Ditto!
Loved that one.
11.22.63 by Stephen King
The Star is My Destination
Replay by Ken Grimwood
The best novel I’ve ever read.
I’ll second this recommendation
Yes.
I agree!
I love you people.
This was mine too. Also among my fave books ever.
This book was a life change for me! I realized I wouldn’t get the opportunity to replay my life and I became invested in working on my relationships and myself.
(The Chronos Files trilogy) Timebound, Time’s Edge, Time’s Divide by Rysa Walker
David Mitchell does really wacky things with time and is an absolute genius.
What title would you recommend?
I would start with The Thousand Autumn’s Of Jacob DeZoet
Blackout and All Clear by Connie Willis
Also Lightning by Dean Koontz
I liked Blackout but was so disappointed with All Clear. I truly enjoyed Doomsday Book though and happen to rereading To Say Nothing of the Dog right now.
Doomsday by Connie Willis, To Sleep with the Dog by Connie Willis, (I think that is the title); Connie Willis is great with Time Travel…and Timeline by Michael Chricton. I liked the movie, loved the book.
To say nothing of the dog is the title – that one is hilarious!
@Gayle right….I couldn’t remember, Knew it had a dog….?
Kindred by Octavia Butler
Murder in time by Julie McElwain – more of a mystery than a thriller, it’s a quick interesting read
Came here to suggest the same! I’m loving this series!
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Not time travel but alternate universes.
Good suggestion. I didn’t suggest it since it isn’t time travel, but good suggestion.
Soooo good. That book has lingered in my mind for a while now. Can’t seem to shake it. ?
Dark matter was a great short read
Time and Again by Jack Finney
I️ adore this book so much. I’ve read it five or ten times!
11/23/63
11/22/63. ?
Agree with Dark Matter, not exactly time travel but I’d stick it in that genre anyway.
Is there anyone on this thread who does not know significance of 11/22/63?
what is it about?
I had to ride a public bus for the first time, alone on 11/23/63. People, middle aged and older were crying openly. People in my town are usually very stoic so this was very memorable.
@Kingsley Kennedy assasination and an attempt to stop it
@Bonnie 11/22/63
Love that book. My favorite Stephen King novel.
Time travelers wife
I was going to mention that one. I’m glad I’m not the only one that liked it.
Love this book too!
I agree with the recommendations for Connie Willis’s books!
11/23/63
11/22/63
@Barbara yes! Sry. Typo lol I’m reading it right now
That was a great book! I’m not a Stephen King fan, but I really liked that book.
@Beckie it’s my first Stephen king book. I’m enjoying it so far
In for a thrill……
Lightning (Dean Koontz)
Second this! Loved!
Black: The Birth of Evil by Ted Dekker
dragons of pern
Outlander series
Timeline by Crichton
What is that about?
A group of students who are investigating ruin in France get brought in to a company that created a time machine that takes them back to the same period. Their professor had been sent into it and lost somewhere in the past. The students needed to go find him. I enjoyed it. I like Crighton’s (Jurassic Park) novels, with science gone wrong themes.
11/23/63 and Time After Time
All Our Wrong Todays
2312
Kindred by Octavia Butler
Connie Willis has several time traveling titles. Doomsday is “edge of your seat” suspenseful. All Clear and Blackout are set during the London Blitz. To Say Nothing of the Dog is hilarious.
It’s not a thriller but have you read time travelers wife?
11/22/63 by Stephen King
This is a great one to read for time traveling
And it’s also a love story
Timeline?
Dark Matter!
House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier
House on the Strand by Daphne DuMaurier.
Version Control by Dexter Palmer
The man who folded himself by David Gerrold
I’ve read quite a number of very good time travel books. Not sure that any would classify as thrillers, though. Let me know if you want to broaden your net!
Stephen King 11.22. 63 Checks many boxes
The timetraveler’s Wife
Outlander series. I have read all but the last one. Unputdownable, love, hate, jealousy, torture and full of intrigue!
Kindred by Octavia Butler
@Glen do you know any time travelling thrillers?
Timeline by Michael Crichton
Much better book than silly movie.
I could not believe the film was based on the book.
No comparison. One of the worst adaptations ever done.
agreed
Lightning by Dean Koonz
A Wrinkle In Time, Madeleine L’Engle. Young adult book, but profound and wonderful.
The Traveler by John Twelvehawks
the tme machne h.g.wells
Not exactly time travel but fabulous by the great Ray Bradbury…The Martian Chronicles….about the colonization of Mars which
Is looking more and more possible.
Also Bradbury’s Sound of Thunder and Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five
Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children
Did not read that as time travel…..more fantasy
I guess the main genre would be fantasy but there was a bit of time travel involved. It’s one of those books that could fit into a number of different genres. It has something for everyone
Is this plot familiar to anyone: Protaganist goes back to a coal mining disaster in which his relative died……cannot recall title or author?♀️
Time Travelers Wife. Also Kate Mosse trilogy…Langedoc (?)
No that’s not it…have read TTW too. This was about entering the time passage through a cellar and finding himself in the collapsed mine that occurred decades earlier
