Summary

A routine tax fraud investigation. A strange lab. A mysterious button.

He shouldn’t have pushed the button. But Alfred Favero, senior analyst with the IRS, pushed the button. And now he’s 67 million years in the past, stranded out of time with a coworker who hates him and a bunch of tax cheats. Oh, and then there’s the other inhabitants of his prehistoric home: the dinosaurs that want to make a meal of him. Things couldn’t get worse.

Until a mysterious visitor from an uncertain future shows up with murder on his mind.

T-Rexes & Tax Law is the third ‘genre type’ by Rachel Ford that I have read. My first reading experience was set in a dystopian future, the second a short story I would call a horror fantasy.
Rachel has proven her versatility with this time travelling tale and I would say my enjoyment has grown with each book I have read.
This book is light-hearted with plenty of action and an look at human interactions.
The main protagonist Alfred Favero, senior analyst for the IRS is a pedantic, number obsessed burocrat to whom keeping and enforcing rules is the highest objective. Alfred pompously considers himself superior to others and whilst pragmatic is hopelessly impractical.
The female lead character is Nancy Abbot, she is the lead information technology analyst at the IRS, intelligent and a bit of a geek. At the same time she is a confident, practical and adventurous woman and absolute counterpoint to Alfred.
They are thrown together on a mission to uncover tax fraud of large corporation and are flown out to this company’s facility in an oasis in the middle of a desert. The place is abandond and they are forced to spend the night there. They encounter dinosaurs and then accidentally send themselves back in time to the Cretaceous Period, where they find the missing billionaire and facility owner, his wife and a number of employees who have set up a fortified, well stocked camp, but are trapped in this time zone.
From here on a number of adventures and experiences ensue; some are about exploring the fauna and flora, some uncovering the secrets surrounding the facility and why these people are trapped in the past and some exploring human feelings and interactions.
Alfred learns there are more things to life than rules and starts to develop socially and emotionally. Ultimately they bring Alfred and Nancy closer and they become close friends.
Overall this is an amusing, often exciting, sometimes surprisingly deep and well paced time-travelling adventure story, which I thoroughly enjoyed and I am looking forward to the next books in the series.

At first I wasn’t sure about the narrator John Carter Aimone; to my British ear his voice would be most suited to Western or Private Investigator stories. Somehow though John’s calm, but not monotonous, ‘drawl’ suited Alfred’s character perfectly and added to the story’s enjoyment.

PS: We all know an Alfred and love to hate him!

I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review of my own opinion of it.

tongue-in-cheek time travel adventure

A very heavy American accent was the first thing that annoyed me about this one. I stuck with it but soon found the story to be lacking depth and quite predictable.

I found this pretty poor

This book was absolutely brilliant. It’s a clever mix of science fiction, adventure and comedy gold from observational humour at its highest level.
There was literally nothing that I didn’t enjoy about this book- they even discussed the time travel paradoxes in a simple yet well versed way.
Really looking forward to the next book.

Brilliant and hilarious adventure
