River Rising

Carson Chronicles, Book 1

De: John A. Heldt

Narrado por: Chaz Allen

Weeks after his parents disappear on a hike, engineer Adam Carson, 27, searches for answers. Then he discovers a secret website and learns his mom and dad are time travelers stuck in the past. Armed with the information he needs to find them, Adam convinces his younger siblings to join him on a rescue mission to the 1880s.

While Greg, the adventurous middle brother, follows leads in the Wild West, Adam, journalist Natalie, and high school seniors Cody and Caitlin do the same in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Like the residents of the bustling steel community, all are unaware of a flood that will destroy the city on May 31, 1889.

In River Rising, the first novel in the Carson Chronicles series, five young adults find love, danger, and adventure as they experience America in the age of bustle dresses, gunslingers, and robber barons.

Haven’t enjoyed a book so much in quite a while.

While not an action, in your face novel, I greatly enjoyed River Rising and can’t wait for the sequel. I was skeptical for the first little bit. The story didn’t move fast and the narrator was different than I am used to. However, it sucked me in completely. I haven’t enjoyed a book so much in quite a while. The characters are good people trying to do good things. It was refreshing.

a great journey

I think this book was very interested and a little bit special although it was a fantasy and a great journey they took to find your family the book itself was very how to say it right? delicate?
the book was very good five stars definitely

Loved it. I was glad I did not know the exact date for this disaster. grEat descriptions of enduring a flood.

Good Story Bad Ending

I got this story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. This was a good story but a bad ending. More than 13 hours and a cliffhanger wow. Who writes a story that long and filled with plot twists and adventure but ends it with a cliffhanger. I was into the story and was so disappointed. I understand why the kids would not concentrate on the flood since they were looking for their parents. Also not being concerned about changing history we have to understand that time travel no matter what is going to change something. Even if you only show yourself to one person that one person will be changed. So recognizing that this is a story it's ok. What is not ok is to provide me with a good story then no end.

So good!!!

I wish I would've know this ends on a cliffhanger before going in. I enjoyed this story so much - I'm totally into time travel stories and this one was super good! Narration was really well done.
