The story is well narrated.
Let's hope this scenario doesn't turn out to be prophetic in nature!
BTW, this is my 3 rd. or 4th. time to read this book, and I dare say it won't be my last! It's that good! Especially if you like hard sci-fi!
A truly great sci-fi novel by an undisputed master of the genre

My first problem with the story is that it was too long. There are quite few subplots that don't really affect the main story and in the end they were more of a distraction than anything else. (I could have done without the stereotype Jewish mother and the womanizing Peterson.)
The most interesting thing about the story was the reactions of the scientists when they encounter something that doesn't fit their current scientific theory. The way that they work through it and investigated the situation was really well presented.
The author's thought processes about the messages from the future and the temporal paradoxes that the might cause really could have used more work. When a character receives confirmation of receipt a message from the past before the message requesting confirmation was sent, I just rolled my eyes. Also when a theorist speculates that a message to the past might cause the whole world around them to change and only the senders would know that it had, I thought "I don't think so".
I thought that two narrators, one for the past and one for the future was a good idea. And both of the narrators could produce a variety of voices, but the British narrator (the future narrator) kept saying to "casual loops" instead of "causal loops".
Still, it was an interesting listen, just don't expect to be enlightened on temporal paradoxes.
An enjoyable book with problems

The book leaves none of the science to chance and explains it better than any science book for non-scientist.
You'll get a good coherent communication across time book nicely read, and great science explanations (okay, tachyons don't really exist, but if they did!). Overall a very fun listen.
Good SF and even better science
