Summary

If you had the power to change things in the past for the betterment of yourself, your family, or the world, what would you do? Brian Partridge is a fan of all things science fiction, especially when a book or film is about time travel. One day after buying all of his favorite author's personal effects in an estate sale following the man’s death, he finds out just how this man of words managed to write about the past with such passion and detail. The truth was he had visited all those places using his very own time machine. Soon enough Brian follows in his hero’s footsteps, living both the dream and the nightmare. From traveling to see dinosaurs, to keeping one step ahead of FBI agents who are tasked to track the individual who has been playing God.

Beyond the title this is poor

Oh dear just wasted 12 hours listening to this rubbish hoping that it would get better or at least an interesting ending as hinted at in the first chapter.

This is supposed to be sci fi and you expect the author to try and weave an explanation of time travel but this just puts it on a plate as a fait accompli

Wait this will be one of those time travel novels where the time travel is a framework for beautifully sculptured characters who you just want to spend forever with. A story that weaves these individuals with points in time. Sorry no, every character is as flat as a pancake.

I can’t understand how this rates so high on Audible. Each to there own but I’d suggest giving this a miss, so many great time travel based novels out there sadly this is not one of them.

what would you do if you acquired a time machine

I loved this book humorous, entertaining, well narrated and thoroughly enjoyable... If you acquired a time machine would you go see dinosaurs, visit the Titanic, try to change things in your past .. you probably would!!
well worth a listen !!

Good story

Good book, well conceived and always stays interesting throughout. Strange start with the letter but it does develop much better. Recommended

Could do better

I listened to the end, hoping it would improve. It didn’t. With hindsight, I wouldn’t of bought this book.

Hard going!

I love time travel themed stories but I found this one quite hard to persevere with. A good story but didn’t really excite me to keep reading.
