About this listen

"This is the natural order of things: for each decision we make, there is an infinite number of possible outcomes, only one of which comes into being. It is an infallible truth; our future is born, singular. But for you, that is no longer the case."

Jack Davies led an unremarkable life, serving fast food in a nondescript seaside town by day and playing computer games by night. Unremarkable that is, until Professor Jericho ordered a sausage and a cup of tea.

After discovering he has the ability to move through time and space, Jack embarks on a journey to repair a tear in the fabric of reality, with only his high school stalker, a television news crew, and a crossword puzzle for help.

With every moment of indecision, the problem gets more complex. And Jack never could make up his mind.

Jack missed his dead grandmother, the on!y one in the family who hadn't ignored him. He hated his job in a tatty little fish and chip shop. It was raining again. There was nowhere else to go. A man came into the shop, struggling against the wind, and ordered tea and a sausage before leaving. An explosion of light - and Jack was dead.
Except he wasn't. Well, yes he was, but ...

With simple sentences, the author conjures up not just the bleakness of Jack's inner being but of the location, as well, an ability which continues throughout the whole book. This is a delicious, almost farce-like story of Jack's several journeys through time and dimensions to repair a rift and restore his world, together with the mysterious Professor Jericho, a chap called Brian, and a three man film crew headed by a girl he'd once known at school now a reporter, named Kelsey. From confusion and terror, through repetition and chaos, Jack struggles to understand and restore things to a proper order. Quite delicious.

This reader was charmed and confused. But that didn't matter. Is the science correct? Who cares? It was a really fun story, and well read by English accented Hanniba! Hills. Great character voices, well paced, and delivered with nicely intoned, enthusiastic expression.

Not having read anything by author Debbie McGowan previously, I had no idea what to expect. Now I will actively seek out more books by her. My thanks to the rights holder of And the Walls Came Tumbling Down, who, at my request via Audiobook Boom, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy. It was great fun, and, somehow, very English. Especially the rain!

It was going to be a long night.

Absolutely stunning !!!


The author Debbie McGowan imagination is amazing and running wild on this one.

Writing about time and time travel is the hardest in science fiction because of so many reasons, like the grandfather paradox and many other paradoxes and it’s almost impossible to write about it without making mistakes.
There were books or movies which took me years to figure or hear about the mistake in them.
In this book the author does exactly that and a pretty good job about it, has she messed up, can’t tell yet.

But joy listening to the book
Makes it worth it.

Narration by Hannibal Hills is beautifully done for each of the characters in this creation.

There are three parallel stories going on at once in this book, but the narrator certainly did help differentiate the characters. Overall quite average in my opinion, though I wouldn't say no to listening to more of Debbie McGowan's books.
