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.

OMG the best book EVER!!!
I don't normally take the time to write a review on books I listen to but this one was worth it. A seriously great story. I listen to books whilst I'm editing photos ( I'm a wedding photographer) and this I managed to finish in just 2 days. It kept me fascinated from start to finish.

Not your ordinary time travel story
Absolutely well structured story, unexpected twists and moving away from the traditional time traveling stories. The narrator was superb, you could tell appart each of the colorful characters of the book, it went by very fast given how entertaining the book was. Simply brilliant!

Wow what a book, it will stay with me always
I can’t begin to describe how much I enjoyed this book. The story is so rich and well constructed and the reading is off the scale in terms of how good it is.
It is a book that permeates your skin and will probably stay with me always. You must get it, it will be the best credit you’ve ever spent.

Narrator lovely. Story capturing
Felt like having a friend - very sad book finished. Delightful narrator. Good insight into human nature. Bit tech for me on one chapter but rest created good images in the mind and you care what happens

Outstanding on all fronts
Wow!
Every now and then a book comes along that you simply don't want to end. This is such a book. Superbly narrated, subtle overtones of a more concise Stephen King and genuinely jaw - dropping twists and turns.
Every single character is drawn in rich detail, but never feels like padding.
A truly exceptional work of art.
