it was a fresh take on witches, but I wasn't keen on the jumps in time with little explanation.

Story
The team of heroes extracted from their timelines to stop the impending apocalypse didn't think they needed a leader. But they've got one anyway. With their mission in tatters, Miri has been called in to steady the ship. And to focus them on their assignment: preventing the end of the world. The problem is, the world doesn't know it's in danger. With governments pursuing them relentlessly, attempting to steal the time-travel device to use for their own ends, the heroes are on the run.

Good story, well told by an extraordinary narrator. There's nothing new in the premise of time travel, but the way it is told is simply brilliant.

Story
Unwitting time traveler Joseph Bridgeman is adjusting to life in the present and wondering if his traveling days are behind him. But when he’s contacted by the Continuum, an organized group of time travelers based in the future, he learns his career is just getting started. The Continuum needs Joe’s help. One of their operatives is missing, last seen in 19th-century Paris, and they believe Joe’s ability to see the past might be the only way to find him. Teamed up with Gabrielle Green, an acerbic, wisecracking traveler, Joe heads back to 1873 on his most dangerous mission yet.

Great story, narrated superbly. I want more.
Reviewed: 04-06-22
This stunning story uses a real world event to support a rich tapestry of pure fantasy in which the reader experiences everything that Nick Jones has created. Somehow Ray Porter takes it even further and helps the listener experience it all in 3D. Initially, one could be forgiven for imagining the American accent would only hamper the enjoyment, but frankly his ability to create character voices and hold them (all inaccuracies forgiven) is astonishing. I want more now.

A great combination of gifted writing and excellent narration. The conclusion is satisfying, and additionally left open for future adventures.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Best Story Ever.
Reviewed: 11-06-21
From the very beginning, Andy Weir / Ray Porter bring you onboard to a front seat experience on an epic journey of non-stop jeopardy and introduces you to characters you'll love and root for. The high concepts are mixed with science fact that does not demand much to suspend your disbelief. Ray Porter is a world-class narrator and offers his best performance yet, in my humble opinion.

Story
It’s the end of the world as you've never known it. Join the Librarian as he does his best to make the post-apocalyptic world a better place by protecting the weak, fighting injustice, squaring off against a group of former renaissance fair workers who have established a kingdom in the Rocky Mountains, and so on. Can one man make a difference in the face of such murderous cannibals and super smart bears? Probably not.
