About this listen

 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 bestselling 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 U.S.S. Libra—a ship assumed lost to the currents of Deep Time. Moss knows first-hand 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. Adventure Fantasy Fiction Mystery Police Procedural Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction Time Travel Crime Detective Exciting Heartfelt Murder

I like the woman narrating. The story is alright... occasionally very interesting, but some twists are quite predictable. There also comes a point when it's difficult to believe there is still so much left.

Somewhat predictable, but interesting concept.

Loved the story and it felt very expanse and a new concept of time travel I haven’t experienced before, great concept and delivery.

Great time travel read

I'm not a murder mystery fan. at least I wasn't until I listened to this book. Tom handles time travel in a unique way.. the macro plot and micro subplots mesh perfectly.. great world building and vivid prose make for a riveting read!

brilliant and riveting

Much like most other stories involving time travel, the problems and solutions is this novel all involve time travel. Very well read, but unfortunately obvious.

Time travel!

Gripping story from start to finish. The ending leaves me wanting more, but that's okay. The narrator made listening very enjoyable as well!

Would definitely recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as well as the performance. I highly recommend it, but it might give you nightmares. :)

It's been a long time since a book gave me chills

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!

Incredible!
