About this listen

Nothing ever changes in Sanders. The town's still got a video store, for God's sake.

So why doesn't Eli Teague want to leave?

Not that he'd ever admit it, but maybe he's been waiting - waiting for the traveler to come back. The one who's roared into his life twice before, pausing just long enough to drop tantalizing clues before disappearing in a cloud of gunfire and a squeal of tires. The one who's a walking anachronism, with her tricorne hat, flintlock rifle, and steampunked Model A Ford.

The one who's being pursued by...something.

So when the mysterious traveler finally reappears, Eli's determined that this time, he's going to get some answers. But his hunt soon yields far more than he bargained for, plunging him headlong into a dizzying world full of competing factions and figures straight out of legend.

To make sense of the mystery at its heart, he must embark on a breakneck chase across the country and through two centuries of history - with nothing less than America's past, present, and future at stake.

Critic reviews

"A rousing adventure novel that marries steampunk aesthetics to the seminal concept of protecting American liberty." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"A superior time-passer, a wonderfully amusing yarn." ( Publishers Weekly)

Ray Porter's narration is excellent, as usual.
The writing is good, the story well told, the characters interesting.

There are a few twists, some that I saw coming, some that I didn't.

But, as is the case with so many time travel stories, there are elements that just don't add up. I accept that there is usually an element of that in this type of book, but it left more holes and contradictions than some other attempts.

Overall, an enjoyable book, but don't think too hard about the details.

Pretty good, with the usual time-travel problems.

I like Peter Clines writting style. He always seems to deliver a straightforward book, well written with an intriquing idea that comes to a satisfactory conclusion. This book is no exception.

I read 14 and loved it and so when I saw this I hoped it would be good. The narrator is my favourite kind of narrator with a silky, deep voice. The story is just fantastic and kept me hooked all the way through. Excellent book. Definitely recommend.

Another great book by this guy
