About this listen

Time calls the shots.

Unwitting time traveler Joseph Bridgeman is adjusting to life in the present and wondering if his traveling days are behind him. But when he’s contacted by the Continuum, an organized group of time travelers based in the future, he learns his career is just getting started.

The Continuum needs Joe’s help. One of their operatives is missing, last seen in 19th-century Paris, and they believe Joe’s ability to see the past might be the only way to find him. Teamed up with Gabrielle Green, an acerbic, wisecracking traveler, Joe heads back to 1873 on his most dangerous mission yet, one that will take him deep inside a burning opera house.

But how will Joe succeed when his new companion clearly hates his guts, the missing traveler disappears the second anyone sets eyes on him, and a familiar foe threatens to trap them in the past for good? With help on hand from his best friend, Vinny, and mysterious clues hidden in his sister Amy’s paintings, Joe must hone his gift, develop new skills, and figure out a way to complete his mission before the blazing inferno comes crashing down around them all.

A very good story with interesting characters and well read. Looking forward to more in the series

Very enjoyable listen.

I loved being back with Jo and swept up on one of his incredible experiences again. The characters are well drawn and interesting plus we get to meet and understand more about the other time travelers. It’s like meeting up with old friends and then sliding down a thrilling slippery slope with some of them, finding yourself in a whirling action packed adventure movie and then transported back again to the comforts of normal English life in Cheltenham. But craving more. I’m looking forward to the next book!

Another exciting adventure

This book is part of a series so if you do enjoy, track down the others. The last one I listened to was v similar.

A pleasant exploration of relationships, in essence, with a canter about history and parallel universe theory. Kindness rules in our protagonist’s world, however, so that’s something he can hold on to as he pings about on missions through time, being ‘special’.

Nice narration. I’m not entirely sure why our hero, Joseph, has an American accent while everyone else is English, including his sister and parents, and they appear to all live in Cirencester. Maybe it’s because he’s replaced another version of himself. Laddy Joseph, who breaks hearts, cheats and is generally a bit mean. Which this Joseph most definitely isn’t. He asks for advice. On emotional issues. I know!

If you’re confused, I don’t blame you. But you know, parallel universe / time travel life is like that.

If you’ve got a long journey this is a pleasant companion. Enjoy.

Light, intelligent, fun time travel

I binge read all four books in this series, and found it gripping, I think it would make a great limited TV series

Great Concept

found this series of books by complete accident and I absolutely love them! it is credit to both Nick Jones and Ray porters skill that I have been able to reconcile myself with an American reading what is clearly an English protagonist based in England! I can't wait to start book four...

amazing series!

...an American narrator was chosen. Ray Porter is a wonderful voice actor. But seriously, why? There are also excellent British narrators too, and this is a quintessentially English book. It demands an English narrator. Ray Porter does not do British accents, His Welsh is truly terrible, most English sound like variations of Cockney, just awful. Having said that, this is another brilliant book and I did thoroughly enjoy it, inwardly wincing as each new character was given a dreadful accent. And yet I look forward to more from Nick Jones... as soon as you like, Nick!

I still don't understand why...

Still not happy with the American narrator saying words weirdly but the actual story is great.

Really enjoyed this sequel

I am so grateful that my brother recommended these books to me. They just get better and better. Such a talented author. The narration is superb! It feels like you’re listening to a play with many different characters in it. An absolute treat. Highly recommended. Now onto book 4!

Stonkingly written and narrated

Whilst time travelling may seem a bit far fetched - who knows?!
These books are cleverly written to make bot make it seem plausible.
I have listened to all 4 books and now I am relishing to them.
Hoping there may be more to cone.

Great
