About this listen

Joe Haldeman is the esteemed Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of The Forever War. Things are going nowhere for lowly MIT research assistant Matt Fuller - especially not after his girlfriend drops him for another man. But then while working late one night, he inadvertently stumbles upon what may be the greatest scientific breakthrough ever. His luck, however, runs out when he finds himself wanted for murder - in the future.©2007 Joe Haldeman (P)2008 Recorded Books Hard Science Fiction Science Fiction Suspense Time Travel Fiction

A very enjoyable book

I enjoyed listening to it. Just a nice getaway in time. I would recommend it.

Passes the Time

Meh. Not bad. A fairly routine time travel story. Very plot driven (and a little sophomoric) that left me somewhat unengaged. Worth your time, but potentially would have been better as a short story.

Fun trip through time

This author provides lots of ideas to ponder, math, physics, religion, time travel, and relationships.

Much better than I expected

I really enjoyed the story. I knew it would be about a character traveling in time, but it was much better than I expected it to be. Great read, I recommend it.

Great sci-fi !!

It’s been a while since I’ve read my science fiction novel that makes you think. Really enjoyed the story and the narration was great! I will be looking into this author to see what else he has written. Hugh

Interesting but somewhat textbook time travel story with horribly written female characters

Auhtor writes women like he is a horny teenager. Awkward sex scenes and conversations that dont really fit the book. constant sexual innuendos.

It's ok

It’s fine, but it felt a bit too simplistic and lacked detailed descriptions to make the scenes more immersive.
