Summary

Traveling into the past using the timelines of ancient artefacts, the Oblivion Order explore the forgotten centuries, ones that never made it into the history books. Weaving back through time, the secret society of eccentric anachronists ensures the best possible future for humanity, making subtle adjustments to the past—saving us from oblivion. Every alteration is carefully calculated, and nothing is left to chance. Until the day Joshua Jones, a teenage thief, breaks into one of their station houses and finds himself transported back to 1944—where he accidentally changes the outcome of WW2. Josh is inadvertently pulled into their secret world of alternate realities, temporal guilds and chaos demons. With the help of Caitlin, a beautiful librarian, he learns to harness his abilities as she shows him a future he never dreamed he could have. But beyond the temporal borders, an ancient evil is gathering, threatening to devour every moment that ever was. Will Josh fulfil his destiny? Will he come to terms with his past? A fast-paced time travel adventure, Anachronist will take you on a journey into a world not bound by the rules of time, exploring history and the consequences of changing it.

Wow. Took a punt and what a winner.

Absolutely loved this book. Story and narration were top notch. It wasn’t an author I knew but a genre I’m fond of so took a gamble and came up trumps. I loved every minute of this audio book, so well written, nuanced and smart. Have immediately downloaded the next two in the series and am starting the second book straight away. Cannot recommend enough.

So much better than reading the book. Can’t wait for the sequel.

I was delighted to see this book published on Audible. I have read the book and much of the series. However the performance by Rupert Degas took the experience a much higher level of enjoyment. I have preordered the sequel and can’t wait to dive back into the worlds of Josh and Caitlin.

One of the best Time travel stories I’ve ever read 

This book was simply outstanding in all fields one of the best Time story books. I’ve ever read well developed well rounded characters on with a story that just kept on wanting you to read on, and the narration really made it fantastic. Rupert Deas is a fantastic narrator and would make any book brilliant, but this book is brilliant with a brilliant narrator.

A fantastic performance and an enjoyable story

I enjoyed this a lot, enough to give book two a go.

I like a good time travel yarn and this has some great characters and good concepts.

The two most annoying things were:
1. Everyone condescendingly questioning how Josh didn't know this or that about complex time travel stuff.
2. The whole professor Fermi thing seemed a bit tagged on and I'm not sure why it wasn't immediately detected by the order. Maybe I missed something?

Brilliant narrator lifts this from good to great

Interesting, believable characters and excellent narration which is enough to keep the suspense going and the story alive.
