Chronothon tells the story of Ben Travers who is, against his wishes, stuck in a Chronothon. A speed run of sorts across ages. As a timetraveler, he has to visit certain time periods and perform tasks. It's all good fun until it turns out the Chronothon is a little more than what was advertised.

This is the second book of the series. I was not aware of that, so I didn't read the first one (yet). Although I missed some references to the first book, it's not that big of a problem and you can read this book pretty much standalone.

The "In Times Like These" series takes time travel to a whole new level. A lot of thought was put into how it could potentially work and time travel is used for some surprising goals.

Chronothon is a great enjoyable adventure with a very likable main character. It's an Indiana Jones type thing with time travel and without a whip.
