The Mine by John A Heldt286 Pages
Joel Smith is about to graduate from college and is on a road trip with his friend Adam, just a few days from graduation. When a traffic jam causes him to make a detour, he stops at an abandoned mine and lets his curiosity take control. He enters the mine and finds a strange glowing room. When he emerges, his friend is gone and he soon discovers that he has traveled back in time to May 1941.
The book deals with Joel adjusting to this new era, with no hope of returning to his own time and how he debates using his knowledge of things to come to alter the lives of the friends he makes.
Set up as a Kindle series this first entry is middling and fails to develop or expand what could be a interesting premise. For readers looking for good time travel books I wouldn't recommend this volume but instead direct them to Jack Finney's Time and Again, Connie WIllis Doomsday Book or Household Gods by Judith Tarr
I enjoyed this book and the series.
