The Mine by John A. HeldtMines have always fascinated me and I have followed news reports of mine mishaps and the trapped parents wishes for their kids to move away from the area because the business is so hard of a life-they want better for their children.Story starts out with Joel Smith and his friend Adam Levy  as they eat at The Canary while on a college break til graduation in Seattle. They have been exploring the national parks and other attractions. They learn of six planets and the sun and moon aligning and in the past it has caused calamities.Construction on the road leads them to a road where a mine is located that was closed over 100 years ago. They explore as Joel is a geologist major. Something goes wrong and now Joel is in 1941 and Adam is nowhere to be found....He has gone back in time and he tries to figure out what to do and hopes he makes the right decisions as time goes on from 1940's.  Loved hearing all the things that happened, in the right order and what he did to survive. When the planets line up again he has more difficult decisions to make-stay in 1941 or try to get back to 2000.Love very detailed descriptive words of the locale, I can just picture it in my mind.Fascinating read because of the time frame, travel and betting on the future.Really a weird situation when he meets up with others...Received this book from the author via Goodreads for my honest review.
