About this listen
Preble Jefferson can see five seconds into the future.
Otherwise, he lives an ordinary life. But when a confrontation with a cop on a New York City subway goes tragically wrong, those seconds give Preble the chance to dodge a bullet, causing another man to die in his place.
Government agencies become aware of Preble's gift, a manhunt ensues, and their ambitions shift from law enforcement to military R&D. Preble will do whatever it takes to protect his family, but as events spiral out of control, he must weigh the cost of his gift against the loss of his humanity.
A breathless thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end, The Man Who Saw Seconds explores the nature of time, the brain as a prediction machine, and the tension between the individual and the systems we create. Alexander Boldizar provides an adrenaline-pumping listen that will leave you contemplating love, fear and the abyss.

Story
Everything wrong with Craig Pelling's life can be traced back to one moment in 1986. But fate hasn't finished with him yet. When a series of unfortunate events pushes him to breaking point, he's thrown a lifeline - a trip back to 1986, to relive one weekend as his 16-year-old self. Does the key to a better future lie in reverting one decision he made over 30 years ago?

On the evening of July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan took the stage at Newport Folk Festival, backed by an electric band, and roared into his new rock hit, "Like a Rolling Stone". The audience of committed folk purists and political activists who had hailed him as their acoustic prophet reacted with a mix of shock, booing, and scattered cheers. It was the shot heard round the world - Dylan's declaration of musical independence, the end of the folk revival, and the birth of rock as the voice of a generation - and one of the defining moments in 20th-century music.

Their dad turned up days later, dehydrated and confused—and convinced he'd been abducted by aliens. Their brother, Jakob, remained missing. The women dealt with it very differently. Kass, suspecting her college-dropout twin simply ran off, became the rock of the family. Evie traded academics to pursue alien conspiracy theories, always looking for Jakob.

The new book censor hasn't slept soundly in weeks. By day he combs through manuscripts at a government office, looking for anything that would make a book unfit to publish-allusions to queerness, unapproved religions, any mention of life before the Revolution. By night the characters of literary classics crowd his dreams, and pilfered novels pile up in the house he shares with his wife and daughter. As the siren song of forbidden reading continues to beckon, he descends into a netherworld of resistance fighters, undercover booksellers, and outlaw librarians.

Thus begins a search for this lost love that takes the man into middle age and on a journey between the real world and an other world—a mysterious, perhaps imaginary, walled town where unicorns roam, where a Gatekeeper determines who can enter and who must remain behind, and where shadows become untethered from their selves.

Interesting subject matter
I love the calm sound of the narrator, unlike some narrators I’ve had to sit through recently.
Now getting on to the story - the whole premise is so far beyond reason as to be completely unbelievable. At some point this book deviated from logic and jumped into the realm of what appears to be 80s style arguments against the Mutual Assured Destruction mindset. It’s just completely dated and no longer plausible

RUINOUS NARRATOR !!!
I wish I had read the reviews and not just the summary of this book. I haven’t finished and I am enjoying the story but my God the narrator is AWFUL. How does this happen? Was he related to somebody to get this job? Seriously it’s absolutely garbage. There’s so many good narrators and voice actors out there, no excuse for this.
Came back to add to this. I’m still listening but I have to repeat every word in my own head to try and counter the effects of the narrator. The tone and tenor of the voice work does not take the source material seriously; the effect is to turn a high intensity, dramatic story into a silly, farcical one. This book hasn’t even been published for a year. The author should get this audio recorded over again by someone else.

Only for John Wick fans
If you liked John Wick movies you may like this, perhaps. For me, I'm only engaged enough to want to get to the end. But it's a hard slog; now only half paying attention. Everyone in this novel has too much information about too many things. Everyone makes stupid choices all the time. It reads like a Marvel comic from childhood. NSA behavior is especially comical. Reader is good except he makes the child even more annoying. 'Nuff said.

Whoa. A very wild, thinky ride!
I just finished and reeling a bit. This book starts with a virtual bullet and doesn’t give you much time to catch your breath. Thriller pacing. But also an excellent introspection about “monsters” — political, human, evolutionary and even innocent ones. Preble Jefferson was an ordinary man born with an extraordinary gift. One he used shallowly until a split second of annoyance leads to a chase that may threaten all of humanity as we know it and perhaps change it to something quite new. The book does not wrap up the goodness or monsterness of this possible evolution. That is yet to be determined. But first contact does not go great. With meanderings into history, science, politics and the blind love of parenting among other themes — there is plenty to contemplate between epic chases. A smart thriller to savor.

Engrossing ride from start to finish!
What a great read, the story grabbed my attention early & never let go. Sharp dialogue, interestingly diverse characters, & deep concepts cleverly woven into an engaging tale. The narrator’s slightly deadpan detective noir delivery caught me off guard initially, but quickly became clear was an excellent choice to suit the story, I hope to hear him more in the future.

Intriguing to begin with but...
Starts out with a very interesting concept and then takes it to unbelievable extremes. Sort of like John Wick destroys the world and himself along with it. Almost gave up at the beginning because the narration was too fast but slowing it down made it too slow. The fast speaking was a constant issue with listening to this book.

Brilliant and Action-Packed
If you liked The Bourne Legacy (2012)—by far, my favorite of the franchise—or Neal Stephenson’s Reamde (2011), you’re going to love Alexander Boldizar’s The Man Who Saw Seconds (2024). The action is gripping and relentless; the ideas are crisp, clear, and meticulously well researched; and the characters (even the bad guys) are complicated, believable, charismatic, and likeable.

Great, fast-paced sci-fi
Bought this one not knowing much about it and glad I did. While the story has three distinct parts, it moves through them quickly, and you won't want to stop. The level of detail really helps bring things to life -- not quite as fine-grained as Tom Clancy, but expounding a broader range of topics. Beyond that, I found that I was often comparing the writing style to Heinlein, which alone would make it a worthwhile read for me. If, like me, you often ponder the nature of time, you should give this book a chance.
