Publisher's Summary
A gripping, full-cast science-fiction drama for fans of time travel, conspiracy theories, and unexplained phenomena.
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes.
Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.
But is Earth safe? Could the Vanishing happen again?
To get answers, two teams are launched back in time–one to New York City before the Vanishing; another to follow a bizarre trail of clues through history, from Area 51 to the lost Roanoke colony, and beyond.
There are forces, though, that don’t want the Temporal mission to succeed. And a mysterious being whose own agenda might destroy them all.

Poor recording
Audio is terrible. Way too much echoes. Story is fine but not enough to balance the horrible background white noise.

Gripping and nostalgic.
Love it! Reminds me of being a kid listening to radio dramas from the 1940s 1950s on the actual radio on Sunday nights in the 1980s.

Great sci fi story
I really enjoyed the story, the plot line, the acting and sound effects. They really came together for an audio experience that made me binge the book.

Tough to follow
I loved the voices and the acting but I definitely had trouble with the storyline… has anyone seen a written storyline to explain?

great sci fi
Story fantastic. Good sci fi. Kept me thinking right up to the end and beyond. Performace was great. My only wish was in " read book" form. I sometimes was lost because I didn't catch a change to a different group. But then, I am a bit "face blind" to voices. Great overall, will not disapoint.

Interesting approach to explaining mysterious events from the past
A little confused about the time travel and how they stopped the vanishing. Yet overall it was very entertaining

Wow
I was not expecting this. Great performance, great story, and I think a top contender for SciFi awards.

Fantastic ride for your ears and mind.
I downloaded on a whim. I enjoy time travle stories. This was done quite well for me.
The voices acting was great and the sound quality was a wonder foe my ears with earbuds on.

Bad acting
If you like endings that do not end the book but instead leave you hanging potentially forever, you’ll like this. It’s free, expect that.

Mostly really good
1. EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES and FOLEY :-) :-) :-)
2. SPOILER ALERT!
SPOILER ALERT!
SPOILER ALERT!
After having spent a very enjoyable 4+ hours listening to Temporal, I was totally let down by its final minutes :-( :-(
Anti-climactic is a GIANT understatement! Also, after taking 4+ hours building up the story, Temporal ends fairly abruptly.
The ending would have worked if Temporal was, say, an episode of The Twilight Zone (original or ‘80s reboot; sorry, until just now, I didn’t realize there were more series after that!) or The Outer Limits (original or ‘90s-2000s reboot). Those maximum-1-hour formats would’ve worked great with Temporal’s ending; pare down the 4+ preceding hours, then keep the ending = totally workable and enjoyable experience :-)
