Publisher's Summary

The long-awaited sequel to Time and Again . Si Morley is back and the world may never be the same.

When Time and Again was published in 1970, it immediately developed a loyal following that has grown with each passing year. With this book, Jack Finney returned to the same magical territory and finds Ruben Prien still at work with the Project, still dreaming of altering man's fate by going back in time to adjust events... to interfere, some might say, with destiny.

Once again, the conduit to that bygone era is Simon Morley, the man who actually proved himself capable of traveling back and forth in time. This time, he does so with a grand purpose: an attempt to prevent World War I.

From Time to Time is a tale that is both thrilling and nostalgic, magical and terrifying, charming and full of suspense.

Not as good as the first, but maybe worth it

Paul Hecht is a fantastic narrator and is the main reason why I jumped right into this sequel. I agree with other reviewers that this story wasn’t nearly as good as the first, but I actually enjoy Finney’s writing style (despite having some outdated ideas) so much, that I could forgive the plot. I thought the first 3/4 was good. It is true that it is adjective-heavy with lengthy descriptions, but I like that. This is a calming book if you are patient and looking to slow down and listen to something that can paint a real picture. There was about 2 hours nearing the end of the book that he described vaudeville acts in excruciating detail which had absolutely nothing to do with the plot. This was a bit of work to get through, but the last 1.5 hours was entertaining enough. Truly, I am puzzled at the ending and it seems like this book was written in a rush, but I enjoyed it well enough. If you liked the first book, I recommend giving this one a shot!
