About this listen

Ruben Prien is still at work with the Project, still dreaming of altering man's fate by going back in time to adjust events. Ruben's purpose in summoning Simon Morley back from that earlier world is to prevent World War I. It is ironic, therefore, that the man assigned to carry to America the papers that might help avert the Great Catastrophe travels to his meeting onboard the Titanic. And it is Si's task to attempt to ensure his safe passage.

Loved it more than the first. Amazing from start to finish. Hope there will be another

Superb

well read and a good story, but the list seemed to go on endlessly. The narrator did very well but it must have been a task

This book picks up where Time and Time again left off. I loved Time and Again 5 out of 5. This book though, fails to deliver.

There are just too many long ponderous passages of pointless detail that add nothing to the story. I felt the story frequently seemed to lose its way and lack focus, which was a great shame.

The performance was great as before let down by a sluggish story.

Not nearly as good as Time and Time again

Brilliant narration love the story, slow paced but riveting. The descriptions of where you are set the perfect scene in your head.
I wanted these books to go on and on

I want more

The author pours on a lot of description, so much so that the story at times feels lik it's not moving anywhere. Self hypnotice for moving in time also stretches the belief rather much. If you like a story describing the 1910s you probably will like this though.

Feels like a novelette expanded to a novel

I loved the forest book in this series and was really enjoying this one until it's abrupt and unfulfilling ending. I wanted more and wanted the loose endings completed and I hope at some stage in the future a follow up book provides more satisfaction

Not quite as good as the forst

I was introduced to this author in the delightful afterword of 11.22.63 by Stephen King here on Audible.
This book follows on from the excellent Time and Again and is worth reading/listening to beforehand. It takes some getting used to the hefty amount of description he uses and I can understand some readers not enjoying this element, but for me it made it magical and gave a feeling of being fully submerged into the time, people and surroundings. For a story centred around time travel, the lists and description give a realism rarely experienced. I loved every minute of this wonderful story and the narrator Jeff Harding was a dream to listen to.
I would heartily recommend this book and am now eager to seek out more from this wonderful author.

Loved every minute of of this wonderful story

A very enjoyable book. Not quite as good as the original, but a worthy followup.
Jeff Harding is probably my go to narrator. I've got so used to his performances through Jack Reacher that I know he'll deliver a great paced and acted audio book.

I do wonder if Si goes anywhere else.... If I had the gift I'd be tempted to at least try some more times.

Very enjoyable

This book is 90% description and 10% story. Jeff Harding does his best but he is reduced to reading lists and tortuous descriptions of things which are often tangential to the storyline. There are huge passages devoted to a travelog of New York which are no better than listening to a sat-nav. I skipped whole chapters that didn’t add anything to the plot or impact on the storyline in any way. Jack Finney needs to hit the reset button and get back to where he was in “Time and Again”.

Dreadful sequel.....

Any additional comments?

I love time travel books but struggled with this because I did not care about the characters.
