À propos de cet audio
College student, ex-marine, and martial artist Malcolm Lockridge is in prison awaiting his trial for murder when he receives an unexpected visit from an extraordinarily beautiful woman named Storm. Claiming to be a representative of the Wardens, a political faction from 2,000 years in the future, Storm offers the astonished young man a proposition: freedom in return for his assistance in recovering an unspecified lost treasure. But it is not long before Malcolm realizes that, in truth, he's been recruited as a soldier in the Wardens' ongoing war against their rivals, the Rangers. And this war is different from any that has ever been fought, because the battlefield is not a place but time itself.
Traveling backward and forward through corridors connecting historical epochs separated by thousands of years, Malcolm is soon embroiled in a furious conflict between the forces of good and minions of evil. But the deeper he is pulled into this devastating time war, the clearer Malcolm's ultimate role in humankind's destiny becomes, causing the troubled young soldier from the 20th century to question whether he's been chosen to fight on the side of good or evil...and if such a distinction even exists.
©1965 Trigonier Trust (P)2021 Tantor1. The narrator is incredibly monotone. There's little inflection throughout most of the book. It makes it difficult to differentiate between characters. I actually found myself gapping out while listening because I was uninterested in the story or what was happening at the time.
2. The language of the book is like it's trying to sound smarter than it actually is. It was written in 1965 so the words that are used are a bit 'dated'. I actually had to think through some of the wording to get the meaning / understanding of parts of the narration. Even with the period specific words there were words used that made it appear like the author was trying to give the impression that they a very smart person but to me it only gave the impression that they are book smart, not actually smart.
This was one of the very few books from Audible that I did not enjoy.
Maybe a bit behind the times
