Publisher's summary

Secrets of the past hold the key to the future.

Joseph Bridgeman is now an official member of the Continuum, a group of time travelers that heal the past to protect the future. When a rare focus object is stolen and put up for sale, Joe jumps at the chance to retrieve it, but a simple auction turns into a dangerous new mission that takes him farther back in time than he’s ever been before.

Alone and unprepared in ancient China, Joe must not only complete the mission, but also unravel the mystery of a secretive organization known as Extempero. Who are they? And why do they seem intent on destroying everything the Continuum has achieved so far?

When all hope appears lost, an unexpected ally helps Joe unlock a unique form of time-travel loop that sees him flung into the past yet again. Caught up in a shocking natural disaster, Joe must face a terrible choice, a decision that will have far-reaching consequences for the Continuum and a delicate future that hangs in the balance.

Expectations atomized experience timespace defiant

I wasn't expecting a brisk turnover from the Paris novel but having seen the upcoming for The Quantum Chain had me giddy.
This series has been an acclaimed hyperfocus read/listen of mine from book 1 to present. From the Origins and system/world-building seemingly done expertly that, to this day, earn my praise and interest, to the performance of Ray Porter, of which fills me with gladness that I had found this series and chosen the Audible take to ingest, down to the canonical and smoothly constructed and executed evolution and structure of both the Time concept systems and the world Joseph travels upon it page by page.
A novel of my own could be done about each point and more that I hold to this series as it grows and I'm extatic for the future and nature of the writings of Nick Jones with this series and beyond.

A wonderful listen

As always, Ray Porter is a master at his craft! What talent!
I personally think Joe is too emotive for being an alpha. This character takes on too much guilt!
I still enjoy listening. I really missed one character in this book though!!
Love Nick Jones and love Ray Porter! Can't wait for more!

IT ONLY GETS BETTER

Let me start off by saying I never leave reviews. But, Nick Jones’ Joseph Bridgeman series has compelled me to do so.

He has created a fantastic world that I thoroughly enjoy escaping to. It’s written in a way that it’s believable and that just adds to the experience and immersion this series offers.

Each entry builds upon the last and impressively, improves upon the previous entries in the series. He gives you just enough, but leaves you wanting to read more.

I’ve read/listened to a lot of books and series of books. I can honestly say that I’ve only re-read two book series in my lifetime. Harry Potter and an extremely old series by Roland Quiz called Giant Land - The Adventures of Tim Pippin. I’m now re-listening to the Joseph Bridgeman series.

My 10 year old son is also listening to the series and is half way through Book 2. I’ve really enjoyed diving into the story and having conversations about plot lines and the time travel aspect with him. This is kinda like my sons Back to the Future I guess.

The narration is spot on. Ray Porter relievers on all fronts as usual. This is actually how I found this series. I had just finished Project Hail Mary and immediately started looking for book read by Ray. And Then She Vanished popped up and I gave it a try. And man, I’m glad I did.

If you’re on the fence about starting this series, don’t be. Get off the fence, get the books and get ready for a fantastic experience that will have you in wanting more.

Best of luck Nick and I can’t wait to read books 5, 6 and 7. You’ve got a fan for life out of me. Keep up the good work and just know you’ve got a lot of people rooting for your success!

Fantastic!

I am enjoying this series, such a fun listen. Nick Jones doesn’t disappoint. Each book kept getting better and Ray Porter’s narration is Perfection. I’m hoping there will be more to come in this series.

just one critique *Spoiler Alert*

Bill demonstrated the ability to freeze time on his second meet with Joe. Where did this ability go? Why didn't Joe learn this??? it certainly would have come in handy.

Like Ray Porter

Started this series because I recognized Ray Porter’s name as narrator. Have enjoyed many of the selections I’ve listened too in the past. This read has been worth the time (no pun intended). The is of time travel, which can be confusing for some. The author does a great job of explaining things and bringing us along for the ride. You have to pay attention though. I had to back up and listen again when I was distracted by reality. Looking forward to the next book in series.

Still my favorite series

I mean I love me some Joe. His love for his sister and Alexia is so beautifully portrayed and the narrator really nails it. There was so much going on in this book. I don't want to say it was hard to keep up.. but it was getting complicated with all of the time traveling settings. Overall, I just adore this series.
