Publisher's summary

"The secret of time-traveling into the future, would be found in the past...."

When George d’Clare receives the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, he and his wife. Madison. organize a support group. This noble endeavor eventually leads them to meeting a strange man with an incredible story - a captivating tale about a device that could transport a person into the future and return them safely to the present. His far-fetched account also comes with an equally fantastic offer: to help him in a daring plan to use the device to bring back the cure for the disease. Thinking the man suffers from dementia, George dismisses him as delusional.

But when the strange man is later killed in a deliberate hit-and-run, the couple embarks on a search for the truth about the device, beginning with the perfectly handwritten diary he left behind. They soon discover that they are involved in a deadly cat-and-mouse chase through time, whose origin dates back to the final days of World War II and to a highly classified Nazi operation, codenamed “Firebird".

Could there actually be a device capable of time travel? And if so, can George and Madison find it in time to stop the next phase of the inconceivable Firebird plan?

Great story topic sabotaged

The story topic was great but was sabotaged by the writer. He treated his heroic characters all as victims. Very sad with little hope. The ending was too little too late.

Amazing intellect for the storyline!

The authors past/present story line approach and his perceived knowledge on the technology or the topic matter is very good, a very good listen

Excellent standalone sci-fi book

I was looking for a time travel tale that was not the first in a series or, worse yet, the first book of three trilogies. This was great! So creative and well-written. The story kept moving with characters one cares about. The ending — wow! Thanks to Dale C. George for The Device. Hunter Elliott did a great job with narration.

Time-travel and WW2

If you like time travel books and WWII history, this is a combination of the two; the characters themselves are fictitious. I enjoyed this book.

Something different.

While time travel is not knew, the story was a knew take on it. Keep in mind there is a lot of back and fourth on different years, but pay attention and it will not confuse you.

Great Book

Too bad it’s his only book on Audible.
Most of the details I didn’t understand but the premise and plot was superbly crafted.
Listen to it while in the throes of Covid, a moderately mild case, it kept my mind off all the discomfort and I thoroughly enjoyed the time.
I hope he’s working on his next project.
It sure would make a great movie.
Listen to it, you won’t regret it.

Excellent book that includes history and time travel

A great read for sure, but I loved it even more on Audible. Mr. Elliott’s performance brought the characters to life! The Device was written with an incredible amount of research and study of physics and history. Kudos to you Dale! I look forward to your next book!
