Eric meant to save everyone, not fracture time itself.

Seeking their people's ascension and selfish advancement, individuals on Eric's planet are prepared to rupture the fabric of the universe. There's only one way to prevent catastrophe: Reject his loyalties, and journey to the past to seek trusted allies to help prevent the destruction before it can begin.

It's a shame that time isn't his only hurdle.

Stuck on Earth in the 17th century with his ship broken and venting radiation, Eric—a former military engineer—seeks a lost item that has fallen into the hands of his enemies. He needs to fix the damage to the space-time continuum before he can return to the future, otherwise there may be no home waiting for him.

When he meets a mysteriously familiar woman, he's certain that he's met her before, even though he's never seen her face. He'll have to keep her close if he doesn't want to make things worse. If he fails in his mission, it's not only the future that's at stake, but history and the fate of billions.

This book is more aboug the main character’s struggle to do the right thing and ‘save the world’ than it is actually about time travel. Yes, he travels in time. Yes, time travel is critical to the plot. But somehow, it doesnt feel like its actually about time travel. Which is refreshing. I think the difference is that instead of traveling to a particular point in time, we see a series of jumps to different periods... with just enough description of the period to make it real, but with an on goong focus on the overall plot; and lots of action!

The narration was engaging and well-paced.

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review.

An epic hero

Starting off, this book has the tone of a lower grade reader. As in it sounds simplified for a younger audience. Might have been the narrator but was a bit off-putting all the same.
Still, I did enjoy the story and was kept engaged throughout. This is a great story line and obviously the start to an interesting series. Lots of thought and introspection on time continuity and paradox.

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
