Future Tense, the sequel to Time Will Tell, picks up the story 20 years later in 2022.

As he rose to power, Hitler's hatred toward the Habsburgs and their diverse empire fixated on Franz Ferdinand's sons, who became outspoken critics and opponents of the Nazi party and its racist ideology. When Germany seized Austria in 1938, they were the first two Austrians arrested by the Gestapo, deported to Germany, and sent to Dachau. Within hours they went from palace to prison. The women in the family, including the Archduke's only daughter Princess Sophie Hohenberg, declared their own war on Hitler.

But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs. Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of 21st-century America gives full rein to Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit and astute perception.

This book contains a brief but unconventional look at the Titans and Olympian gods of Greek mythology. Brief, because a thorough treatment of these legendary super beings could take thousands of hours. Unconventional, because digging for truth is far more interesting than reciting old stories which have little relevance to us today. Attempting to reveal some semblance of truth brings the stories to life. It gives them relevance to our modern world. Here, we will look at many of the more fascinating stories.

In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community exists in a giant underground silo. Inside, men and women live an enclosed life full of rules and regulations, of secrets and lies. To live, you must follow the rules. But some don't. These are the dangerous ones; these are the people who dare to hope and dream, and who infect others with their optimism.

action from the start
The premise for this book, and others in the Time Will Tell series intrigued me so I was really grateful to the author for sending me the full Time Will Tell series in exchange for honest reviews of each book. The synopsis for this series reminded me of books like The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of a Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson and How To Stop Time by Matt Haig, when you know you're going into the past and you're going on an adventure to meet big historical names such as Churchill and how the characters in these novels interacted and maybe influenced them. However, this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me quite like those just mentioned did.
This has been a hard book for me to review. I'm a reader who likes surprises, tension, character building, relationship development and thinking about what is going to happen next. I like to be shocked, shaken and sometimes a bit baffled. This story is not like what I am used to, and takes a bit of getting used to. It is told from the future, reflecting on past events. It is a story where you are told from beginning to end what is going to happen. For example, this is what happened, there was some dialogue at the time and this is what was said. Type of read. If that's your jam, then grab your toast.
Past the story telling aspects of this book, the story soon gets to the action and it continues that way from the beginning until the end. It is a short listen/ read, at just over six hours. It neatly sets up for the stories to come in the series, which I will also be reading and reviewing on here! Stay tuned.
The narrator is easy to listen to and I look forward to listening to more of this series read by him.
I listened to this book on Audible at a speed of 1.6x.

Unbelievable... and not in a good way
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Someone who has no interest in character development, a semi-believeable plot, or anything beyond a superficial story may enjoy it. The premise is interesting, but the execution is awful.
What was most disappointing about Eddie Upnick’s story?
The utter destruction of my suspension of disbelief was the most disappointing part of the story. I love science fiction, but it has to have at least an ounce of plausibility or else the reader (listener) is unable to remain immersed in the story. In addition to that, the characters were one-dimensional, boring, and not memorable. Major historical figures (FDR, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, even Adolf Hitler) were all caricatures that seemed to be created from superficial research of their personalities and histories.
What about David Doersch’s performance did you like?
His accents were pretty well done and his pace was good. I especially liked the voice he used for Einstein.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Time Will Tell?
The main scene that pushed me over the edge from at least still being amused by the train-wreck of a story to actually feeling like I wasted my time listening to the book is when Svetlana, the mother of the boy with cancer, "repays" the main character for helping her son. It was over the top and borderline offensive. I only continued pushing through because I paid for the book, but I wish I had just stopped then.
Any additional comments?
I wish I had something better to say about this book because I was excited by the introductory synopsis. The premise seemed interesting and had so much potential. There are some interesting ideas in the book, but there aren't many and they are lost in the sprint from one ridiculous scene to the next.
I take some blame for not noticing the last line of the synopsis when I chose to give this book a try, "After the war, the lives of everyone on Earth are threatened by powerful aliens with their own designs for our planet." I either didn't read it initially or forgot about it because when the aliens showed up, I literally yelled, "What?" It was an unpleasant surprise and just made the story even more ridiculous.

A bit rushed
I listen to audiobooks almost constantly, as I am renovating a house, and the books entertain me while I work. What I look for in an audiobook, therefore, may differ from the norm, and it is VERY common for me to abandon an audiobook without finishing it, if it isn't holding my attention. I did not get very far in this audiobook, but for one primary reason that might make it perfect for someone else - it felt rushed.
The narrative flow just skipped off the surface of action to fast forward past the context needed to introduce you to the characters, build their personalities, and create the history that brings them to the actions the author wants to describe. In the first six minutes the author brings out the narrator and the protagonist, has the protagonist agree to tell his incredibly top secret, classified, life story to the narrator without much development of either character, or much development of a relationship between them that would make this decision to divulge secrets ring true, emotionallly, and then has the protagonist launch right into "so I'm a time traveler and in my timeline the Nazis controlled the world."
The details aren't skipped altogether, just described very succinctly and mostly with short, declarative sentences to advance the story to the meat of the plot. This didn't work for me, as I look for books that are immersive, where I feel like I'm getting to know the characters. It might be awesome for other people, who would prefer to get right into the heart of the action and can pick it right up with the author.
The audiobook narration is great - the narrator reads smoothly, makes the voices of each character distinct without being melodramatic about it, and is pleasant to listen to.

This book was simply amazing. The topic was easy to grasp at the start making it easier to follow than some other audiobooks. After you get a feel for your surroundings the book would change. Like a non-stop superhero comic. It was like almost like listening to a child explain their crazy dreams. I loved it and will be listening to the rest of the series.

The story of escape from a bad timeline
"I promised not to tell this story until ten years after his death."
That's pretty much the start, a fascinating old man has died at an assisted living facility, and the narrator is telling the story he was told, one that involves alternate timelines, time travel, Nazis, and WWII.
In the opening we find that the protagonist died as a happy old man. So we start knowing how it ends. Perhaps not much of a spoiler since it's the opening of the book.
In between, I found the MC and his story interesting and delightful. Highly recommended.

I wasn't expecting what I got
After reading the story description I walked into this expecting a fun alternate history about time travelling Nazi's. What I got was so much more. The story is full of little details, such as one about Mary Shelly and her husband.
Overall it was extremely fun to listen to and entertaining, so much so I would find myself stopping what I was doing to hear what was next.

History from another point of view
I find that I often enjoy a good time travel story. Although the basis for this story is time travel, this story is really about history (as we know it) as a small group of people work to change history as they remember it and create the one we remember. There's a mind bender for you.
This story was well written and well read. Kept you involved and engaged throughout. This is not about the science but about the people involved in living the story.
Will definitely be reading more of this series.
