Publisher's Summary

A time traveler’s work is never done.

Likable antiques dealer Joseph Bridgeman is back in the present and dreaming of a quiet life. But when a mysterious and enigmatic time traveler arrives in his shop, Joe learns that his first trip was just the beginning and this time, the rules of the game have changed.

Blackmailed into accepting a new mission, Joe is flung back to 1960s London where he comes face-to-face with a ruthless gangster and witnesses the brutal murder of an innocent woman. Joe knows better than most that death can be reversed and the final chapter is sometimes where the story actually begins. Emotionally involved, he has no choice but to act, and quickly. With the help of Vinny, his vinyl-loving sidekick, Joe once again sets out to change the course of history. Sounds simple enough...but when it comes to time travel, nothing is ever as it seems. Who is the old time traveler working for? And who decides what can and can’t be changed?

In a thrilling twist, Joe discovers that the victim is critically important to the future, and what starts out as a straightforward mission soon becomes a race to unravel a mystery - one that threatens the very timeline he fought so hard to protect. Joe must dig deeper than ever, master his newfound skills, and save the woman before the past catches up with him for good.

Turns out time doesn’t heal after all. It just adds salt.

Ray Porter Hits Another Home Run

Ray Porter is an amazing narrator, with a quirky and delightful range of voices. This second book in the Joseph Bridgeman series is a little klunky in spots, but we now have “rules of the game” when it comes to time travel; there’s some great lines in this one, and while our hero’s constant whining of “blackmail” annoyed the Hell out of me, this is a good book and I very much enjoyed it.

Excellent Story and Narration

The story line keeps me guessing! I adore the characters and feel as if I know them. The narrator does a great job! I also love the humour that is spread throughout the story.

The changing scenes keep me glued to the story

Another good one for this author. Like character development, I like that the characters remain from the first book. I’m spending a credit for the next one

A Great Story

This second book in the Joseph Bridgman time travel series is a complicated and intriguing story, full of tension, jeopardy, and occasional welcome humour. Thank goodness for Joe’s friend Vinny and his ability to make any situation more enjoyable.

In addition, I would listen to narrator Ray Porter read the phone book. He is amazing in his ability to create a wide range of easily identifiable characters with voice alone. The one thing that continues to confuse me, though, is why Joe doesn’t have an English accent? Ultimately that isn’t important.
