About this listen
When Micajah Fenton discovers a crater in his front yard with a broken time glider in the bottom and a naked, virtual woman on his lawn, he delays his plans to kill himself. While helping repair the marooned time traveler's glider, Cager realizes it can return him to his past to correct a mistake that had haunted him his entire life. As payment for his help, the virtual creature living in the circuitry of the marooned glider, sends Cager back in time as his 10-year-old self, knowing everything he'd known at 80 and gives him access to advanced equations of space and time.
But living life over knowing the future isn't as easy as Cager has anticipated. His every action alters the future he remembers until much of what he remembers never happened at all. And those changes work against him at every turn, preventing him correcting the most serious mistake of his life. Now he must use his advanced mathematical ability to build his own time machine to go back and try again. But he needs a fortune even to begin.
Then he receives help from a strange young woman with no history. While perfecting time travel, Cager and his new partner overcome enormous problems, even being hunted by dinosaurs in the Cretaceous. After that, though, things get really bizarre.

Story
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

The wall just didn’t look right. Alex has been trying to cope. Life after his deployment had been rough. His ex-wife thought he needed to stop disappointing their daughter. She was right. He would try harder. With six hours before his little girl’s fourth birthday party, he saw the anomaly. One wall was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. His house wasn’t made of brick. Behind that was another just like the first. He still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway.

Great
This book was fantastic. It had well written characters, a compelling plot and some very thought provoking concepts. This is sci-fi at its best.
I will say that the book's summary is quite misleading. This book is not a light-hearted tale. There are several dark moments throughout that cover on some extremely messed up topics.
Regardless, this book was an amazing read and was well worth the credit!

Really 3 stories
The first story is about an alien landing on Micajah Fenton's front lawn. The alien is both a time traveler and a space traveler. The alien needs his help to repair its ship.
The second is sort of a time travel story with an aim to change the past.
The third is more of an alien adventure story.
Overall I like most of this book. The characters were engaging and the narrator gave an excellent performance. The ending is too saccharine for me though and unfortunately will leave me with the feeling of this being a less good story than I had before the final chapters.

Interesting concept, didn't love the ending
Very interesting concept and found the majority of the book entertaining. Likable main character and you really cared what happened and how things turned out. However, I found the ending to be a bit of a cop out - felt silly in a way. Still, an interesting story of time travel. #Audible1

Everything about this book was amazing
I'm not usually a sci-fi fan but this book was amazing. I found it somewhat difficult to understand the science but that didn't detract from the story at all. The characters were loveable and relatable. The pacing was perfect. The narrator was phenomenal! He really brought the characters to life, even the women characters which I find can be difficult for some male narrators. Just a wonderful book and I'm looking forward to reading/listening to more of Jerry Merritt's books.

what a wonderful story. Fantastic characters, well written, great narrative, and intriguing story. I loved the physics aspect and how it really felt just out of reach from reality. It really makes you question, what would you do the second time through with a entire life if knowledge?

I don’t know what I expected,but it turned out to be for the best. I was pleasantly surprised. I really got emotionally attached to these characters. Such good storytelling and voice acting. I hope they work together on more projects.
