A Riveting Time-Travel Romance That Surprised Me!

"I don’t often read time-travel romances, but this awesome book truly won me over. From the very first page, I was swept into a pulse-pounding blend of ancient myth and modern espionage.

Mike’s writing is vivid and immersive. He paints Troy with such detail that I could taste the dust, hear the clamor of warriors, and feel the tension of fate woven into each scene. The characters feel fresh and real—built from courage, loyalty, and heartbreak. And yes, the romance is thrilling—and absolutely earned.

What surprised me most was how effortlessly the author fused historical epic with modern thriller. The transitions between eras never felt forced; instead, they underscored the stakes and deepened my investment in the story.

If you’re open to a new genre and crave a sweeping adventure filled with passion, time-bending stakes, and heart, this book is a gift.

Mike has truly crafted a remarkable debut here, and I can’t wait to see where his next journeys take us."

Think Game of Thrones meets Outlander

"I don’t usually tear through books this fast, but I read Time Passages: Echoes of Troy in two sittings. It completely pulled me in. Think Game of Thrones meets Outlander, but with its own original twist.

So you get the idea, it’ centers on Brodi, a modern Navy SEAL, who ends up in ancient Troy. The journey from there is packed with tension, heart, and unforgettable moments and the love story adds an extra element.

What really blew me away, though, was the writing. DeLucia’s voice is sharp and cinematic. His characters feel real. It’s smart and moves well. I kept saying, “just one more chapter.”

If you’re into epic fantasy with romance, and high stakes—this one’s worth your time."

Very Creative

"The author has a creative imagination that held my interest throughout! I couldn’t put the book down. Brodi is one tough guy. I highly recommend Time Passages."

A Puzzle Box in Motion

"This book is structured like a secret mission itself strategic, precise, and full of layers. The pacing alternates between breathless combat scenes and emotional flashbacks, which mirrors Brodi’s fractured mind and double life. I loved how the story slowly reveals its deeper secrets, like peeling away intel from a confidential file.

At times, it risks being too ambitious there’s a lot packed in but that complexity is also what made it so rewarding. Like a soldier’s life, it’s chaotic, nonlinear, and deeply human."

Sci-Fi Time Travel Romance - A Must Read!

"I didn't think I would ever be interested in reading a Sci-Fi Time Travel Romance. Mike's book has completely opened my mind to this genre. Time Passages: Echoes of Troy had my attention from the first page! The description of all of the characters was so crystal clear, I felt they could step out of the pages. History, romance, humor, military themed... and one of the best rock songs mentioned made for one all around fantastic book. I highly recommend this book to be read! Thank you for a most enjoyable read....I can truly see this book being made into a movie."

Mission: Absurd and I’m Here for It

"Time Passages is like the most entertaining fever dream I’ve ever read. Alien fingers? Check. Indestructible Navy SEAL? Double check. Time travel via bat-shaped hang glider? You bet.

And let’s not even start on the amber energy bullets that curve around corners like something out of Wanted. I laughed, I gasped, I shouted “What the hell?!” more than once and honestly, that’s what made it so much fun. It doesn’t pretend to be subtle. This book flexes its muscles and then launches into space, and I was strapped in for every second."
