With the whole of human history altered, Denny Younger may be the last rewinder in existence—and the last person on earth with a chaser unit capable of time travel. While caring for his ailing sister, Denny must discover a way to recharge his device before he’s left with no defense against a past that wants him dead.

Before long, Denny notices a mysterious stranger following him—keeping tabs on Denny, his family, and his friends. Is Denny just paranoid? Or maybe he isn’t alone in this new reality after all…

When his chaser is stolen and his girlfriend is kidnapped, Denny risks everything to get both of them back. Launched into a high-stakes chase that spans continents and millennia, Denny’s responsibility to save our future isn’t over yet. It will take all of his cunning to stop a threat capable of steering the fate of the human race into disaster.

5.0 out of 5 stars May You Live In Interesting Times
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2021

What a parting thought! These Rewinder books present some very interesting scenarios. Can people travel through time? And if we can then it is entirely possible to alter what will become history. It really begs the question, "If we could travel through time, should we?" Because as these books reveal, not everyone who COULD travel in time SHOULD. There are many thoughts on the subject and the justification(s) for (and against) each are sure to be argued for all eternity. Suffice it to say that this second book, Destroyer, is a strong argument against time travel. But, Author Battles has written us a fascinating story on how it would happen, what, if any, reasons for or against and how resulting changes affected could cause us great pain or joy. To experience these things brings us too close to becoming like God. Not a pleasant thought.

Another awesome book by Mr Battles. I can hardly wait for the next one after the cliff hanger in this one. The only reason it got 4 out of five was the book got just a little tedious at one point and I found myself saying " get on with it already" Bur the ending made it worthwhile and as with every Brett Battles series I can hardly wait for the next book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of action, no depth or character development
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2016
Verified Purchase
I loved the previous Rewinder book and was eagerly looking forward to this one. However, while there is breathless action, particularly in the second half of the book, the characters have no depth whatsoever. There was also a sexist quality since the main roles of protagonist's sister and girlfriend seem to be to get into danger and apologize for needing rescue. I felt that the author didn't even try to bring these two characters to life or offer any insight whatsoever into the relationship between Denny and his girlfriend, Iffy. Instead, they serve as chessboard pieces to be moved around by the author as needed to advance the plot.

The plot would likely be incomprehensible to anyone who hadn't read the previous book since several key points are not explained at all (a bit of recap would be extremely helpful for those new to the series). I also felt the historical sections could have been developed to vividly show the reader what's happening, instead of just telling us. Descriptions mainly focus on what kind of transportation people have--cars, horses, etc. depending on the era.

Overall, the book had a very hurried quality, somewhat like being on a bullet train and seeing scenery flash by through the windows too quickly to process much detail of what you're seeing. The most annoying issue is that the story ends abruptly ends on a cliffhanger, which made me feel that the author is more interested in attempting to set up sales for book 3 of his series than to deliver a satisfying story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, complex, satisfying, fun read!
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2016

Brett Battles is an extremely versatile writer as evidenced by his 'Quinn', 'Poe', and 'Eden' series of books.

The 'Rewinder' books are nothing like the aforementioned novels. Time travel is the theme, and the consequences of changing events. The first book, 'Rewinder', introduced the universe of time travelers called 'rewinders'. While possible to read 'Destroyer' without reading 'Rewinder' first I'd advise against that approach.

Essentially, 'Destroyer' picks up the the real-time life of Denny Younger, the protagonist from 'Rewinder' several months after. The action begins quickly and picks up pace rapidly. The key concept in this time travel universe is the Rewinder can only transit into the past and not advance ahead of the Rewinder's contemporary time line.

'Destroyer' adds a contemporary mystery element that is significantly tied to the time jumps that result of Denny's investigation. Battles does a masterful job of weaving the pieces of the stories together.

In conclusion, I am really looking forward to the next book in this series (yes, there's a cliffhanger ending to 'Destroyer').

4.0 out of 5 stars Will Evil always win?
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2021

This is classic tale of good versus evil however the author has put so many twist and turns into the history timeline will we. Ever return to the current civilization we are aware of. The door is locked and blackness envelops the main character. Surely the Light of good will return or will it? We will have to see what the future offers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Destroyer - Rewinder Series Book 2 does not disappoint!
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2016
Verified Purchase
Brett Battles hasn't written one book I didn't like (usually love) and Destroyer - Rewinder Series Book 2 is no different. This one picks up where the first left off and even though cliffhangers seem to bother some of the others who have written reviews here, I was not surprised and would have been disappointed had it ended all tied up in a nice tidy package. Now I can try to imagine all of the places the third in the series can take the reader and until then I will worry how Denny will get back to Iffy and Ellie, but even more, how will he undo what Lidia has done? And (a BIG AND) are there more from the Institute who will be showing up to create havoc for Denny? I do not look forward to the day Brett Battles closes his laptop for good as I am never disappointed and always look forward to his next book!

Excellent continuation of the Rewinder series. A lot of time travel get a bit confusing but here the author handles it well. Definitely moving on to book 3. This story entertained and kept me turning the pages, which at the end of the day is what I want.

5.0 out of 5 stars For a while I thought I had a good idea of what may be going on
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2016

Not quite as gripping as the first in the series - Rewinder - but well done in it's own right aswell. I am currently only half way through. For a while I thought I had a good idea of what may be going on, but on my last read something happened where that theory may not be correct, so I have come up with another theory. I shall have to keep reading to find out. Meaning that even though it isn't quite as gripping as the first book, it still has my attention and intrigue, and in a way only Brett Battles can seem to do.

Reviewed in Australia on February 17, 2017

Reviewed Rewinder previously as one of the BEST books I have ever read - thought provoking and a massive contribution to the time travel science fiction genre ... couldn't wait for the follow up.
The follow up "Destroyer" is rubbish - no plot, no storyline, no logic - no anything except an unexplained chaotic "100 cities in 10 days" smash through history and time for absolutely no reason, no outcome and no purpose.
I don't think I have been more disappointed in a book ever and needless to say I won't waste my time and money on Episode 3. I'll certainly read Rewinder again, but Battles has lost the plot and in so doing lost me as a fan and a reader.
Destroyer is sheer drivle!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting follow-up
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 13, 2016

I very much liked the first of the Rewinder books and was looking forward to this one. The initial dilemma With which Denny finds himself makes for a good start to the book. The meeting with his past should then have provided a very sound basis for an exciting and extraordinary journey, but I feel the author has copped out, with much of the time-travelling episodes being used to fill the pages. The ending was very disappointing and a bit of a cop-out, with no proper conclusion. Undoubtedly there will be a third Book in the series and I will read it in the hope of a proper story.
