Summary
Will physicist Martin Riley get the rewards he feels he deserves? He's discovered a way to receive news stories from two weeks in the future but the Government has cloaked the technology in secrecy. Riley sees the danger in altering the Timestream but despite his warnings, politicians on both sides of the Atlantic make radical alterations to political events. The first temporal alteration saves Princess Diana, the next saves the Twin Towers, but ripples travel far ahead and disturb Earth's future civilisation. The Timestream must be realigned, but at what cost?

Wow - fasten your seat belts!
In fact, forget fastening your seat belt, you may need restraints, and a straitjacket and someone to pinch you when you've finished to ensure you're real, and half an hour with Sky News, and a cup of tea, and a chocolate hob-nob. It will take you some time to drink your tea and eat your hob-nob, as I finished Chronoscape over an hour ago and my head is still spinning through a full 360 degrees, although not quite as fast as it was and so far I've managed a small bite of biscuit as well as poking myself in the eye and smearing chocolate down my cheek. This time travelling adventure is so different from standard time travelling fare. Mr Ley has brilliantly applied his theory to events that are really close to our hearts so you feel totally invested in the outcome. I was enthralled within the first 15 minutes and then just did not want this story to end. Graig Bowles turns in an Oscar winning performance, as we've come to expect from this classy narrator. If you don't like fiction, SciFi, time travel, science - then this is the book for you because you don't need any interest in any of those things for Chronoscape to grab you in a bear hug and hold you tight. And as for the final twist - Mr Ley - you are wicked! I swallowed 3 flies, a moth and a spider my mouth was agape for so long - then panicked at the thought of the flies and what they might be doing. Do yourself a favour and listen to Chronoscape today, or 10 years ago because you can always thank me later, or before, or in 1990!

Just Wow
This is the third book I’ve read by Roger Ley and I thought it was just amazing.
It’s one of the best time travel books I’ve ever read with a great plot and lots and turns
Great characters and and the background settings was very good and tech side wasn’t to complex.
Time well spent

A frightening view of the future
Fantastic story, well narrated. Ley envisages a future where time travel is a possibility, small at first but becoming larger. It's a sobering view of what might happen if we start tampering with the time line. The science is convicing and almost a possibility and there are plenty of interesting plot twists along the way. Well worth a listen.

Great story
Really liked this story, very interesting concepts and great to have real-world events to relate to. I feel the narration was a little flat... I may have been spoiled by listening to RC Bray, but I still feel there could be more emotion put into the story in places. Overall though I thoroughly enjoyed the story and will look at other titles from Roger Ley

What will be, will be... the future is not ours to see..que sera sera...
Just finished hearing Chronoscape by Roger Ley narrated by Craig Bowles.
I found the story to be interesting - loved the way the author let loose his imagination and in his way gave us a glimpse of a future which answers the “what ifs” of today.
Like what if Lady Di did not die? Another thing it made me very much aware of is that too much A.I. is not really something to look forward to - as the world will become way too sterile and controlled. The Author’s note at the end of the book is an excellent ending to this book you really should get hold of a copy and read it or hear it on audible like I did.

Great ideas and fantastic sci-fi rooted in reality
Chronoscape bubbles with great sci-fi ideas , whilst driven by a spy/science-thriller plot that feels solidly tethered to a much more tangible reality. A really interesting - and in a crowded market - very original look at the mechanics of how time manipulation could feasibly work and the very real and immediate conflicts it causes for the scientists involved. This story reimagines the 90s, '00s and far future whilst having a very human story at the heart and forming the foundation for a very engaging and mind expanding series. Well worth the listen.

Exciting and enjoyable listen
Ok I was really surprised by this book it’s a really exciting audio with great narration and it’s nice to see what my other half is up to when my back is turned ;-) . Martin Riley discovers a way to send information across different time’s as he gets set up with his funding he finds it’s not always used in a way he’s completely comfortable and people are desperate to keep anyone with any objections quiet at any costs. Can Martin do the right thing and use his new technology for good and will he ever be recognised for one of the greatest discoveries in the world? Great listen.
