bad love beyond

This book is a vivid mixture of reality and science fiction on a grand scale, with aircraft that might be on a civilized planet that could be reached by a time-travel machine that may have been developed during the building of the nuclear bombs of World War II.

The previous line barely scratches the surface of everything contained in ‘Bad Love Beyond,’ Book #3 in the four-book Bad Love Gang series by Kevin Schewe.

I have now read the first three, ‘Bad Love Strikes’ and Bad Love Tigers’ being the first two, and will undoubtedly now progress on to book four, ‘Bad Love Medicine.’ Every book, of course, is tied together by the group of young heroes who participate in many adventures through various times and across the Universe. In ‘Bad Love Beyond’ they

must try and stop a volcanic eruption on another planet after almost being eaten by a megalodon shark in a sea teeming with dinosaurs that once existed on earth—Sheesh!

That is just a small sample of what you might encounter in these books, for there are also missions to accomplish in the Bad Love Gang’s own time, the mid-1970s, and during World War II, which they travel to using the White Hole Project time machine.

You will encounter real live historical figures and learn about the real weapons and technology of the times described.

Adventure on top of adventure on top of more adventure, pretty cool.

I have to admit this was fun to read, expect the unexpected around every turn and pay attention. The heroes fight Russian agents and Nazi thugs, get to meet Churchill and aliens on other planets, run from dinosaurs and pilot advanced aircraft.

I was laughing lot of the time while anticipating what was gonna pop up next, loved the musical interludes with pop music that kind of creates audio wall paper, hard to explain, have to read it to know.

Have fun and learn a lot about real history and high tech stuff, loved the other books in the series too.

In the third book of the Bad Love series, the gang is back from securing the White Hole project from the last installment. Summoned by President Gerald Ford, they were given permission to use the project for intergalactic space travel to seek a cure for cancer. This book is filled with exciting adventures: time travel, exploring Earth’s sister planet Blue Nova One, reuniting with mysterious aliens, fighting Russian enemies, and much more. 

Kevin Schewe is known for his historical accuracy in fiction novels, and this book is no exception. He expertly weaves in true events, people, places, and cultural movements alongside his characters and

their adventures. Not to mention the plethora of knowledge and fun facts that he includes throughout, including topics such as dinosaurs, musicians, and politics. It creates an entertaining blend of history and sci-fi, with about half the book being set on Earth in the past and the other half in space. Perfect for a

wide variety of readers! 

For those new to the series or simply in need of a refresh, Schewe provides a summary of the previous plot as well as descriptions of the main characters. This book is accessible to anyone whether you’ve read the rest of the series or not. Bad Love Beyond is also accompanied by Kevin Schewe’s signature playlists, this time featuring classic tracks from the 1960s-80s. The songs are mentioned throughout the story and set the tone overall. Like his other books, Bad Love Beyond is action-packed, historically accurate, and thoroughly enjoyable!

Kevin Schewe’s ‘Bad Love Series’ of science fiction adventures take storytelling to the next level. This talented author not only transports his readers on exciting adventures through time, which are historically accurate, but he also enhances their enjoyment by suggesting a sound track list. Throughout the book there are references to these songs which evoke wonderful memories for the characters, and fit into the plot brilliantly.

The main protagonists are the Bad Love Gang who live up to their motto ‘Live dangerously, have fun, don’t die.’ They are all described in the front of the book and this is where the readers discover their nicknames, and the reasons behind them. As the series has progressed the gang has grown, and between them they have a wide expanse of knowledge and skills, which prove invaluable during their escapades. However, the gang are hunted by spies Boris and Christine Krovopuskov, who will stop at nothing to learn the secrets of The White Hole Project (time machine) for Mother Russia, killing without compassion anyone who gets in their way!

As Bad Love Beyond begins, the gang find themselves invited yet again to The White House, Oval Office. However, although only ten weeks have passed since their last meeting with President Gerald R. Ford for the gang, it has been thirty years for the President. Those years between have taught him to respect the advice of the gang, and he reads them extracts from The Book of Presidents about their last visit, and events which happened in 1945 (story told in Bad Love Tigers, Book 2 in the series.) They talk about an imminent NASA mission in the planning, and then Bubble Butt reveals he has an idea for a secret plan to use The White Hole Project to go into the future. It hinges on going back in time to WWII, when the gang were sent on a mission to keep the Area 51 Project, and its secrets in America’s hands. It was on this adventure that they saw the alien Blue Nova One, he believes he can go back, re-live the time, and seize the moment to explore the future.

It’s a success! The gang are transported to the beautiful planet Azure, 11.5 billion light years from Earth, and find the planet, how it has evolved, its people, and their technology fascinating. Good relations are established. However they soon discover that the Queen of Azur is worried, an environmental disaster is set to destroy the Republic of Azure, a distant island nation, however, distrust has arisen between the peoples, can the Bad Love Gang heal the rift, help, and avert disaster? Join the gang as they battle bravely against adversity, facing danger and death in their quest to save the planet, and the people of the Republic of Azure.

Vividly detailed, and historically accurate, this author sends his readers on an unforgettable rollercoaster of a time travel story, guaranteed, I believe, to rival the classic ‘The Time Machine’ by H. G. Wells. Highly recommended!

The Bad Love Gang is back at it with an ample supply of action, adventure, espionage, intrigue and suspense that keeps you enthralled and engaged with anticipation to turn the next page. The adventure takes us to a new planet with many parallels that remind us of the sadness, elation and political ramifications not so far from home... even though it’s 11.5 billion light years away!

As a radiation oncologist in practice for over 30 years, I’m amazed by Dr. Schewe’s ability to masterfully weave the recondite world of nuclear physics and time travel and apply it for the betterment of ‘humankind’. The historical detail gives one a fascinating glimpse of the majesty of erstwhile times and the paradoxical truth , quoted by Jean Baptiste Alphonse Karr, “plus ça change, plus cest la même chose”- The more things change the more they stay the same...

The accurate facts, places and settings appeal to many interests: the history buff, science fiction enthusiasts, music lovers and spy devotees. It’s like flying through the Museum of Natural History, the National Air and Space Museum, Jurassic Park and captain Kirk’s starship with a wonderful tour guide; fascinating and compelling for all readers with a diversity of interests.
