From the first moment I ran across "Tracers" I was hooked by this imaginative fantasy/time-travel novel and it's ability to weave a complex story that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Jerome Gilden certainly has a talent for writing that is apparent in the novel as he weaves a strong plot quasi coming-of-age plot with action, drama, science fiction and good old fashioned storytelling.The book centers around Jerry Daniels, a normal teenager who finds himself caught up in a twisting web of time travel, war, startling revelations of familial legacies and the fragile balance of Jerry's mind as he tries to find his footing and play his part in the growing war. This really is a unique tale that manages to keep you guessing and  sucked into the plot; bringing twists and turns you'll never expect, and making you eager to keep pace right alone with Jerry as he makes his stand against 'The Dead' for his own life and for all of humanity.Overall, I had a fun time reading this and it certainly piqued my curiosity about not only the author, but has me eager to read the next in the series to see what is in store for Jerry next.
