Story
Jordan helps kids on the run find their way back home. He's good at that. He should be - he's a runaway himself. Sometimes he helps the kids in other stranger ways. He looks like a regular teenager, but he's not. He acts like he's not exactly human, but he is. He treads the line between mundane reality and the world of the supernatural. Desdaemona also knows the nonhuman world far too well.

Character driven
It’s a fast pace character driven novel. You’re always wanting to know what happens next.
Main character is an engineer in California. Just a normal guy nothing crazy and that’s what makes his story endearing.

Light on time travel but a good adventure
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This was an adventure story with somewhat light time travel elements. I still rather enjoyed the book and felt it had plenty going on to keep the story moving. The narration is pretty good and kept me engaged in the story throughout.

interesting
The book has an interesting premise, time travel and alternate realities, I was always fascinated by the idea. A bit slow at the beginning but as the layers start to fall away, it gets really interesting, the ending is a happy one. It could have done without the one x-rated scene, seemed out of place and not very convincing. The GF was annoying as hell, but love is love I guess :)
Overall enjoyed listening to Mr. Snipes voices, animated and varied. A few places the transition from one scene to another the pause was noticeable and the voice changed, but that is minor.

A Good Read
I enjoyed listening to this book. The narration was sound and kept the story flowing along. I do have to say that some of the foreign accents seemed forced. They weren't bad, just forced.
I did request this book in exchange for my review.
The storlines, at times seemed a little simplistic, especially the naivety of some of the characters when travelling abroad, considering how well known the main character is.
These are the reasons for my rating.

Time travel takes a back seat to adventure
This is an interesting story that does very little in time travel. It takes place mostly in a present time with some flashbacks for back story that helps with why we are here.
There is one trip taken with a specific purpose and another that is eventually discovered but that is all in time travel.
The story grabbed my attention and held it throughout. There is some X rated stuff but it is reasonably brief although it is spread throughout the story.
Overall I thought this was a good story and worth the read once I got used to the reader. I found the voice a bit odd but he did the characters fairly well.
Time travel takes a back seat to adventure/intrigue in this one.

Interesting premises but underdeveloped characters
Michael Eldrige is a renowned scientist with an obsession with time-travel. One of his main goals in life is traveling to the past, when at 7 years old, his friend Joe disappeared.
The premises of this story were interesting, and the intrigue wanting to know what happened to Joe kept me interested until the end, but there were many moments in the book that made me roll my eyes. The characters are simple drafts without personality, and the secondary characters blend into each other. There is just one female character, which is both secretary and lover to Michael. The only things she does are being insatiable in bed, being a good cook, worry about Michael, and complaining about the risk of the experiment. I hate when writers nowadays create uninteresting female characters, c’mon, life has changed a lot since the ’50s. There is also a sudden friendship born from a Deux ex Machina event that was not believable at all. The story in itself was okay, and there were plenty of twists and turns that got me entertained, but many of the events and character’s reactions and dialogs were unrealistic. There was also a lot of information delivered as monologues by Michael, which didn’t seem the most elegant way of doing this. I think I also have troubles when main characters are stinking rich, smart, and successful, to the point that they don’t seem to be real people anymore.
John C. Snipes did a good job in differentiating characters with voices and styles, but I had issues with his reading rhythm, introducing some pauses where they should not have been any. The audio production could have been better too. There were noticeable audio edits, changes in volume, audible breathing, and mouth noises. I found those distracting, even though I got used to them after a while.
It was an okay book, interesting if you are into time travel and are not too demanding about plot twists and character development.

Interesting Time Travel Tale
Time travel is one of my favourite genres. I did enjoy this story and it had a lot of promise, but I felt like I wanted more when it came to the characters getting out of trouble. I also wanted more time travel. In a sense, it was too easy and I wanted more "trickery" to a certain extent. The characters were well developed and I tended to care about their well being. I enjoyed the wit and back stories of the main characters as well. The story flowed well and I was able to get into a good listening routine but I just wanted more problems or urgency for the main characters. The majority of this story is about the creation and harnessing of time travel rather than time travel itself. Be warned there are some mature scenes in this one and some language sprinkled throughout but did not include nothing I minded. The performance was great. There was clear distinction between character's voices and the tone used really added to the story. ** I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review from Audiobook Boom. This in no way affected my opinion of this work. **
