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.

5 Star Plus

It's been a long time since I have expressed an opinion on a novel here. However, having just finished " A Gift Of Time", I have to say this is perhaps the best novel I have read/listened to in many years. Kudos to the author for a thoroughly thought-out and fascinating time travel story and thanks to Christopher Lane for such a fantastic job of bringing the novel to life. This was a product of pure pleasure. If I could up the star rating I would in a second.

Time Travel Done Right

I took a chance on A Gift of Time. I had not read anything by Jerry Merritt but I'm a big fan of time travel stories. And oh my god, I loved it! Great story, great characters and perfectly paced. Christopher Lane's narration is wonderful. I can't recommend it enough!

I wish I could give Christopher Lane 10 stars

This book was everything you want a book to be. First, Christopher Lane did an outstanding job of narrating - he is my new favourite. He gave such distinction to each character you completely forgot it was all one person's voice. His voicing of Aunt Seeley was so rich and full of life that my heart swelled whenever she spoke. The story itself is beautiful...it's long, and there was a brief period after he goes back and relives the past where I wondered where it was all going, but soon I was plunged deep back into the story. The characters are so compelling. I could not stop listening, it was so captivating. The ending was beautiful and poignant. I cannot recommend this book enough.

a whimsical time travel story

I struggled to describe how I felt about this book. I love sci-fi that makes sense, even in the rules of its own fiction. this story was really well thought out in parts , but in other parts it was silly and fanciful. in some parts it was tender and intelligent and motivated. but other parts were weak and felt contrived, particularly some of the antagonists. some of it was brilliant and original.

overall , I thought it was a good ride, and even though there were some scenes that I found hard to swallow, I don't regret giving this book a chance.

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!

Barely ok

I was looking forward to this book given the reviews but unfortunately it was not what I expected. Not much effort was put into the time travel but rather the struggles of the main character overcoming his past life while always being accompanied by female madly in love with him. I didn't feel a complete connection with him neither did I feel any SciFi components in this story as it mostly happens in the past with closer theme to your Typical " Harem" style writing than anything else.

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.

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?

A quick fun read

Lots to journey through with some mind twists. Some very enjoyable characters and attempts at continuity that sometimes fall short but all in all a very enjoyable read.
