Description

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.

Great

This book was fantastic. It had well written characters, a compelling plot and some very thought provoking concepts. This is sci-fi at its best.

I will say that the book's summary is quite misleading. This book is not a light-hearted tale. There are several dark moments throughout that cover on some extremely messed up topics.

Regardless, this book was an amazing read and was well worth the credit!

Really 3 stories

The first story is about an alien landing on Micajah Fenton's front lawn. The alien is both a time traveler and a space traveler. The alien needs his help to repair its ship.

The second is sort of a time travel story with an aim to change the past.

The third is more of an alien adventure story.

Overall I like most of this book. The characters were engaging and the narrator gave an excellent performance. The ending is too saccharine for me though and unfortunately will leave me with the feeling of this being a less good story than I had before the final chapters.

Interesting concept, didn't love the ending

Very interesting concept and found the majority of the book entertaining. Likable main character and you really cared what happened and how things turned out. However, I found the ending to be a bit of a cop out - felt silly in a way. Still, an interesting story of time travel. #Audible1

Everything about this book was amazing

I'm not usually a sci-fi fan but this book was amazing. I found it somewhat difficult to understand the science but that didn't detract from the story at all. The characters were loveable and relatable. The pacing was perfect. The narrator was phenomenal! He really brought the characters to life, even the women characters which I find can be difficult for some male narrators. Just a wonderful book and I'm looking forward to reading/listening to more of Jerry Merritt's books.

Fantastic

what a wonderful story. Fantastic characters, well written, great narrative, and intriguing story. I loved the physics aspect and how it really felt just out of reach from reality. It really makes you question, what would you do the second time through with a entire life if knowledge?

Not what I expected

I don’t know what I expected,but it turned out to be for the best. I was pleasantly surprised. I really got emotionally attached to these characters. Such good storytelling and voice acting. I hope they work together on more projects.
