This is a great story with a lot of important messages.
The key message being the importance of science and the support of curiosity and the seeking of knowledge over ignorance and the acceptance of unsubstantiated rationalization.
The narration was great.

Great and relevant story

A Great Read

This was slow to develop the story, but once it did, it was worth the wait. It is a slightly hard scifi, but scifi isn't the point of the story. The last chapter knocked it out of the park. It did leave me wondering about what the convergence thing was all about. This will make you think.

Great Listen, but kind of slow to get started.

I gave 3-stars to the story metric because Peter Cawdron’s use of a Renaissance Englishman’s perspective failed to engage me because it’s just too different from my modern perspective, though I applaud Mr. Cawdron for attempting this challenging plot line. For contrast, I was engaged by the employment of a mid 20th century person’s perspective at being thrust into the 1740s in “Outlander” by Diana Gabaldon.

Peter Cawdron’s novels are excellent despite my rating

An excellent example how science fiction is about the present time NOT the future. the author speaks elliqently about the challenges and opportunities we face.

outstanding !

Thank you for a very entertaining story, giving me many good laughs. We built this civilization from scientific discoveries and a belief in the future of humanity. I wish more politicians and leaders would trade their fear for losing power to a leadership based on curiosity, facts and history. I love books about first contact but this one is something much more than just that. It’s an arrow shot through our populistic society.
