The Watchers 1. The Watchers

   (6 reviews)
cover.png

Hugo Wojciech is a man of logic.

A young, aristocratic student at Cambridge in 1910, he believes in order, science, and the well-defined boundaries of his world. But when a mysterious pocket watch and a chance encounter with a country gamekeeper named Alec Stoker catapult him into a labyrinth of shifting timelines and bizarre dimensions, Hugo's carefully constructed reality shatters.

Hugo and Alec must navigate a world of anachronistic warriors, sadistic machine hunters, and enigmatic guides. They are on a collision course with a destiny neither of them chose, but one that is woven into the very fabric of their new, shared existence.

This story deals with historical people, with historical points of view.
They will deal with Internalized Homophobia, sexism and bigotry.
They will, however, evolve.

Every now and then , you come across a story that leaves a mark on you. Watchers is that story for me. It is a powerful captivating story of Alec and Hugo from different social classes and time who are brought together through time travel.The plot moves at  a pace that leaves you room to relate with these characters.This is not just about time travel though,it is a love story of Alec and Hugo . The characters are well developed and engaging. The supporting characters are superb and enhance the depth of the story .The world building especially of the different time streams is fully fleshed.

This story is a highly recommended read for anyone who yearns a well balanced sci-fi  and action riddled love story!

The Watchers is unlike anything else I have read. It is not quite a science fiction nor is it a historical drama , yet it has elements of both. 

Hugo and Alec are two completely different men who share the limelight as protagonists.  Their adventures are complex and thought-provoking, romantic and powerful. 

It is an absolute MUST READ!

This is one of those stories that ends up being the surprise you didn’t know you needed.

This is a remarkable adventure through time that Hugo didn’t ask for, he meets Alec almost accidentally and pulls him into the adventure unwittingly and instead of each trying to return home, they begin to find home within each other.

The plot feels fresh as it’s a take on an old sci-fi trope with its well thought out methods and the author has gone out of his way to tell it in a unique way that has you burning through Chapters like a fire starving for oxygen.

This is a great read, and worth rereading time and again, as Hugo and Stoker make their mark on time itself.

One of the most unique and far-reaching love stories that spans the complexities of time travel. Set in a world where Science Fiction combines with a futuristic steampunk feel to create multiple realities. Follow Hugo and Stoker, both from separate times, nearly 75 years apart, who overcome their class differences to discover their love for each other while trying to navigate and understand the chaos they find themselves in.

What are you waiting for, one of the best stories to hit this site this year...

We are told...."Hugo and Alec must navigate a world of anachronistic warriors, sadistic machine hunters, and enigmatic guides. They are on a collision course....."

This is a challenging, very readable story of two main characters taken out of their time who grow beyond their original views of their boundaries and to become obviously close and to bond and to need to be together. We see them traveling through time facing unusual challenges, beings and some who want to use them.

Be ready to be surprised and captivated by what you read.

The Watchers is a thrilling and enigmatic adventure into a new and hidden world of dynamic and static time streams. Two people who are worlds apart both in time and social class impossibly come together to form a bond of trust and love.

Finding your one true love is a precious gift and keeping it can sometimes present unexpected challenges.

This is a wonderful read with insights into how lonely life can become due to a single choice or how fulfilling.
