Uncle Herbert: Time is Running Out!

I received an e-copy of Uncle Herbert: Time is Running Out! by Philip C Elrod for review.

The story of Uncle Herbert is related by his nephew Andrew a guy just going through the motions in life and seemingly okay with that. His uncle has other plans and they make for a wild, almost madcap world wide adventure.   

Herbert is your basic misunderstood scientist marching to his own internal drummer. He has built a time machine and needs help from Andrew to "SAVE THE WORLD!"

Andrew is thrust into a world he really has no idea how to function in (yeah. I know, bad grammar). How he adapts to fulfill his uncle's requests is great fun to witness. International intrigue, romance, action, time travel, family dysfunction, violence and some surprise aspects that would require a spoiler alert to share.  

My copy did have some typos and mistakes, you know how I get when they are too egregious. Fortunately they didn't quite reach that threshold. But enough to mention.

Main characters were fairly well developed, but some ancillary characters not as well. This makes some of the actions those characters take a bit jarring. I admit though that this may be a bit on the picky side, because overall the book is very entertaining. A good engaging adventure that appears to be the launch pad for a fun series. Enjoy!
