Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 377
At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery - and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself. In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth - and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery...and the tools for fighting back.

They put subjects in extreme sensory deprivation. All the test subjects went violently insane. But the research continued. Today it has been perfected. Almost perfected.

At first, Logan Ramsay isn’t sure if anything’s different. He just feels a little . . . sharper. Better able to concentrate. Better at multitasking. Reading a bit faster, memorizing better, needing less sleep. But before long, he can’t deny it: Something’s happening to his brain. To his body. He’s starting to see the world, and those around him—even those he loves most—in whole new ways. The truth is, Logan’s genome has been hacked. And there’s a reason he’s been targeted for this upgrade.

The village of Saint-Ferdinand has all the trappings of a quiet life. Though if an out-of-towner stopped in, they would notice one unusual thing - a cemetery far too large and much too full for such a small town, lined with the victims of the Saint-Ferdinand Killer, who has eluded police for nearly two decades. It's not until after Inspector Stephen Crowley finally catches the killer that the town discovers even darker forces are at play.

For the lucky among us, life is what you make of it, but for Dixie Wheeler, the theme music for her story was chosen by another long ago, on the day her father butchered her mother and brothers and then slashed a knife across his own throat. Only one-year-old Dixie was left alive, infamously known as Baby Blue for the song left playing in the aftermath of the slaughter. Twenty-five years later, Dixie is still desperate for a connection to the family she can’t remember, so when her childhood home goes up for sale, Dixie sets aside all reason and moves in.

You know the future that people in the 1950s imagined we'd have? Well, it happened. In Tom Barren's 2016, humanity thrives in a techno-utopian paradise of flying cars, moving sidewalks, and moon bases, where avocados never go bad and punk rock never existed...because it wasn't necessary. Except Tom just can't seem to find his place in this dazzling, idealistic world, and that's before his life gets turned upside down.

Chrissie is eight and she has a secret: she has just killed a boy. The feeling made her belly fizz like soda pop. Her playmates are tearful and their mothers are terrified, keeping them locked indoors. But Chrissie rules the roost - she's the best at wall-walking, she knows how to get free candy, and now she has a feeling of power that she never gets at home, where food is scarce and attention scarcer.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Nothing ever changes in Sanders. The town's still got a video store, for God's sake. So why doesn't Eli Teague want to leave? Not that he'd ever admit it, but maybe he's been waiting - waiting for the traveler to come back. The one who's roared into his life twice before, pausing just long enough to drop tantalizing clues before disappearing in a cloud of gunfire and a squeal of tires. The one who's a walking anachronism, with her tricorne hat, flintlock rifle, and steampunked Model A Ford.

Description
Inception meets True Detective in this science-fiction thriller of spellbinding tension and staggering scope that follows a special agent into a savage murder case with grave implications for the fate of mankind....
“I promise you have never read a story like this.” (Blake Crouch, New York Times best-selling author of Dark Matter)
Shannon Moss is part of a clandestine division within the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. In western Pennsylvania, 1997, she is assigned to solve the murder of a Navy SEAL's family - and to locate his vanished teenage daughter. Though she can't share the information with conventional law enforcement, Moss discovers that the missing SEAL was an astronaut aboard the spaceship USS Libra - a ship assumed lost to the currents of Deep Time. Moss knows firsthand the mental trauma of time travel and believes the SEAL's experience with the future has triggered this violence.
Determined to find the missing girl and driven by a troubling connection from her own past, Moss travels ahead in time to explore possible versions of the future, seeking evidence to crack the present-day case. To her horror, the future reveals that it's not only the fate of a family that hinges on her work, for what she witnesses rising over time's horizon and hurtling toward the present is the Terminus: the terrifying and cataclysmic end of humanity itself.
Luminous and unsettling, The Gone World bristles with world-shattering ideas yet remains at its heart an intensely human story.
Ce que les critiques en disent
One of the A.V. Club's Top 10 Books of the Year 2018
One of BookPage's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of 2018
“The Gone World has already created quite a stir. . . . The book probes questions about consciousness and crime that call to mind, among others, True Detective and 12 Monkeys.” (EW.com)
"I like to be freaked out and mystified simultaneously. The Gone World, a gory time-travel thriller, does both in surprising ways....Inception meets True Detective, but it also contains elements of Solaris, Interstellar, Twin Peaks, Minority Report, and even Stargate. To all this, it adds some innovative time-travel shenanigans." (The New Yorker)

Incredible!
This book is incredible! That being said please be aware of what you are about to read. kind of a mix between Silence of the Lambs & Minority Report. This book is kind of sci-fi horror and horror is not my thing at all but I still think this is seriously solid sci-fi (I didn't know it was so bloody when I downloaded it but the first chapter had me hooked!) I am looking forward to more from this author!

This book could have been a lot shorter.
Brittany Pressley does a great job with the narration and while the plot is far-fetched to say the least I didn't find that to be much of a problem. The problem is that the book goes on forever! I usually like longer audiobooks as they're better value but this one over did it. The dialogue is utilitarian at best, the characters aren't compelling or interesting and by the halfway point I didn't care if any lived or died I just wanted to get to the end of the book.

It makes me depressive
I will start with the fact that the book is well written and the author is able to summon emotions in me, what in my opinion is the trademark of good books. This review - like all of them - is highly subjective, I want to to make sure that you understand that I'm not saying the book is bad, it's just not for me. So here it comes: The narrator speaks with a voice that is pure unhappiness. Anything she says feels like the second book of Twilight. This is fitting to the novel though, which isn't making it better for me. I really enjoy dark literature (Stephen King etc.) but with this one I found excuses for things to do instead of listening to the book.
[slight spoiler: For the story itself, the idea is a novel interpretation of quantum physics. I don't like how it deals with uncertainties which are in my opinion quite rare so even if there are endless worlds they are not forking on every time someone draws the lottery. Also the immorality of creating a diverging timeline to solve murders, not to talk of the manpower needed seems a bit crass ]

What an amazing find!
The description of the book did not did not do it justice. It’s incredibly difficult to really summarize Gone World because the author does such a brilliant job of blending hard science fiction, crime suspense, and a bit of horror. I didn’t know much about the author or the book when I started and I’m glad I didn’t. It grabbed me from the first chapter and I listened to this though my commute, workday and somewhat unfortunately, through most of the night. The only thing I didn’t appreciate was the epilogue. But I’m ignoring it because it doesn’t really matter. The book is brilliant.

Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive
Would you try another book from Tom Sweterlitsch and/or Brittany Pressley?
Absolutely not.
Has The Gone World turned you off from other books in this genre?
I can't imagine that another book, of any genre, could be so repetitive.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narrator was fine.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Gone World?
That's easy...I would cut the endless descriptions of the same scenarios. Really, after 4 or 5 descriptions I got it...but the author chooses to believe we have never read a book before, so he repeats...and repeats...and repeats...and, oh yeah, he repeats, his descriptions of just about everything in this novel. The 13 hours of read time could easily have been 6 or 7 hours, with the same result.
Any additional comments?
How many times can you describe a "white tree?" Apparently, about 40 times.

Confusing and unfinished story, but captivating
Spoilers here. I'm not a horror fan, and this book is near to that. Lots of blood and guts -- very descriptive with smells and horrible deaths. The time travel approach is innovative and unique -- any future destination is an "IF" that might come to pass -- and then disappears as a reality when the time traveler leaves. I felt the ending was just incomplete -- maybe the author wanted it that way, but I needed another chapter.

No escape
Tom Sweterlitsch's The Gone World offers a unique blend of hard science fiction and horror, along with some gritty detective noir against a backdrop of blood and gore. In an alternate history universe, the US has been using its space program as a cover for a top secret program to investigate potential and alternate futures. Along the way, they discover, the terminus which is a future annihilation slowly working itself ever closer to the present. Against this backdrop comes a gruesome murder of a family, including a former soldier who had been associated with the secret space program, but believed to have gone missing. As the investigator digs into the case, she discovers a covert conspiracy with unknown intentions and finds additional gore. As she traverses time and space to multiple futures, she encounters alternate futures as she attempts to piece together the mystery.
The major sci-fi elements encompasses the ability to travel to alternate futures and then back again to present time. Each can be subtlety and dramatically different at the same time. The passage of time in getting to and from as well as the time spent there ages the agent biologically, such that she is slowly catching up to her mother in age. The detective work is gritty and confusing, while the violence is graphic and extensive with overtones of a supernatural quality. The world ending terminus is truly a hell on Earth scenario worthy of Dante.
The narration is superb with an excellent character distinction of both genders including the same character at different ages. While not for the squeamish, this blending of sci-fi and horror in what is basically a detective murder mystery is an ambitious undertaking, the success of which will be in the ear of the listener.

BEST AUDIOBOOK so far this year by leaps and bound
BEST AUDIOBOOK so far this year by leaps and bounds! Refreshingly original story. It's sifi, it's horror, it's mystery, it's a thriller. I love this book. No repetitive endless space war drivel. No mindless cutsie AI sewage. An original, one of a kind story. Enthralling from beginning to end. Genius. - CPO US NAVY RETIRED

Best story I've listened to in months
What did you love best about The Gone World?
This story possibly has the most comprehensive implementation of time travel out of any book I've listened to. Normally time travel is fraught with paradoxes and loops with no beginnings, but this seemed feasible.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The main character is a disabled, female, possibly bisexual time-travelling NCIS agent. What more needs saying?
Any additional comments?
If you loved mind bending plots like Inception, you should love this novel.

You better have a good imagination
There is a lot of "sci-fi" (I guess) things going on, and it's probably just me, but I had a hard time picturing some of the things and places in the story. I also think it's a little long (I probably should've got the abridged version) because the last three hours or so I was just like "c'mon already, let's wrap this up." I think I'll wait a few months then try to listen again, maybe it'll be better then since I'll already have an idea of what's happening and what's coming up.

Complex Time-Travel Detective Noir
For the most part I found this book interesting and enjoyable. Occasionally, there were sections that I thought needed better concrete descriptions and the multiple time-lines sometimes became a bit confusing. However, the rules of the world were established and remained consistent. And the main character was well developed. Overall, I would recommend this book to people who enjoy this genre but probably not to a visitor.

So confused, amazed I finished
I'm not a fan of time travel, but this sounded different enough to try (plus it was book club selection so...). It started off okay but quickly became confusing and nonsensical. I'm still left wondering what the hell was the point or objective. Returning this one and putting it in past.
