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)

Not really a spoiler but I am going to mention some things from the book, so best say SPOILER ALERT just in case.

Cars run on water by separating it into hydrogen and oxygen with a catalyst, throwing away the oxygen and burning the hydrogen.
Perhaps a useful plot tool, but burning hydrogen combines it with oxygen to give you...water. So you would never run out of water as it comes out the exhaust, and you are also getting energy by magic. Water in, same water out..

That said, I happily accepted time travel and everything else with 'certainty', so best not to get hung up on it!

Well worth a listen, but one thing bothered me...

I love the idea of the American dream and that the founder fathers of America had a grand plan. This book gripped me from start to finish. Gutted to have finished the book but would love a Koturoverse universe book in the near future. Special mention for Ray Porter who narrated the book beautifully.

The American Dream

Somewhat America centric, so an appreciation of the classic US environment is helpful as there are references to places and behaviour that are unknown to British people but a fun listen that led me to resent reaching work or home and having to stop listening.
Well narrated, with personality in the different “voices”.

Not your everyday relationship romp through history

I've enjoyed all of his previous novels. This is a standalone adventure, fast paced, and thoroughly enjoyable. I liked the narrator as well.

Excellent as always from Mr. Clines
