Publisher's summary

What if a time traveler lived in a world where disrupting the timeline could destroy everything in the universe? Everything but himself?

Pilot X is Ambassador of the Alendans, a race with the ability to move through space and time as guardians of the timeline. Locked in ongoing conflict with the Sensaurians, an organic hive mind that can send messages in thought throughout its own history, and the Progons, a machine race who can communicate backwards in time, Pilot X finally manages to create peace among the three races. But when Pilot X discovers that a secret dimensional war fought in hidden parts of spacetime threatens the fabric of the universe itself, he faces unseen enemies and a deeper conspiracy, bringing him to the ultimate choice: erase the existence of all three races, including his own people, or to let the universe be destroyed.

This book needs your attention

This story can be confusing and hard to follow. The main character travels back and fort trough time, and so does other characters. But the author has a plot and if you give the book your full attention you may figure it out along with our main character. The story has some funny moments, but it isn't really a funny book. It did not seem very exciting in the start, but eventually I had to keep listening all the way to the end. Which is funny If you remember how the book started.

I thought the narrator was a woman. Pilot x sounded female, but I think it was supposed to be a man. I think mister Merritt could have done a better job him self based on his many podcasts, but the narrator is not bad.

Another great work from a great person

Tom Merritt is one of the greats. A level headed tech reporter with a knack for great sci-fi.
His writing, while twisty in plot and character development, is hard core sci-fi at it's heart.
Good world building is what he's great at, and the naming scheme for some of the characters, while sometimes difficult to work out, make the world seem ancient.

In the style of a timeless story

This is a creative narrative told in the style of the sci-fi from the early and mid-20th-century. I often felt like I was Experiencing a Clifford Simak story. And the narrator does a great job of bringing that to life. This was a good one.

Cheeky Sci-fi, not a lot to invest in

This one wasn’t for me. I always get excited about time-travel books, it this cheeky tone and lack of emotional connections just doesn’t work for me. I see how it’s be right up your alley if you love Hitchhiker’s Guide or other things like that. I like a bit more to invest in. I already own the sequel. Might give a shot one day. But it took me weeks to get through this one because I just couldn’t latch on.

Amazing book

I really enjoyed this story, the storyline was great and the narration was on point even changing voices for different characters. I wish this would come out as a movie as the story is perfect for one. I am pretty picky with my books but this one was written perfect and hit my imagination the way I like it. I fully recommend this to anyone who enjoys syfy books. Thank you Tom Merritt, hope there is a sequel, I would definitely buy that one too.

Glad I finished, was satisfying.

Best part was the tidy ending. Almost didn't reach it as I found the earliest parts a bit monotonous. Glad I resumed it!

Interesting and intriguing story

I wasn't sure that I would like this book after listening to the first chapter but after listening longer I was hooked and looked forward to the next chance to listen.
