Özet

After falling into a time portal during a Little League baseball game in Trinity, New York, 11-year-old Andy finds himself transported to a ghostly version of his hometown - 101 years in the future. Twisted metal, rotten wood, and garbage litter the seemingly empty streets, but Andy will soon discover that the city is controlled by CORT robots...and that this reality is Earth’s possible future. When 13-year-old Zack receives a strange letter that guides him through the portal, he and his brother are reunited, and together they must journey through a nightmare world that only they can change. But how can two young boys alter the present by saving the future?

This audiobook was given to me free for an honest review.

I am not the obvious demographic for this novel, but notwithstanding that, I have read my fair share of of YA SciFi, The Hunger Games being the closest in ilk to this. This title fails miserably.

It’s a short story, but provides very little context , which could have easily been done if the characters were given more than robotic or monosyllabic responses in their conversations. This is only an hour long outing, which ended so abruptly that I was honestly wondering what was the point of any of it! It wasn’t even a cliffhanger, just an abrupt conclusion in the middle of an activity.

The narrator, Geoff Sturtevant, was a very bad selection, his rendition was almost monotonous, absolutely no inflection, emotion or pace to his delivery and all of the male characters sounded the same.

Even though this is a production for a younger audience (children? Young Adults?) and therefore not requiring great prose, I believe that more could have been invested in it to polish it up and make it more engaging. Certainly not worth a credit or cash. At least an hour longer, filling out details and backstory, would have made this far more intriguing.

Disappointing.

Much More Investment Required

I liked the premise of this story. Time portals, a global company ruling the future and 2 young heroes. However the story fells rushed, I understand it is a children's book and I am in no way its target audience but it still seems lacking in depth and detail, and simply too quick. The narration seems a bit harsh, short sentences causing a choppy delivery. However the premise is still interesting enough to make me carry on with the series. I received a complimentary copy from the author and am leaving a honest voluntary review.

Great premise, bit short
