Publisher's summary
This is the 17th book in a series of near-future hard sci-fi thrillers. Their heroine Ell Donsaii has a nerve mutation that’s rendered her a genius, as well as providing astonishing athletic abilities. Her genius has let her revolutionize our world with a number of inventions, including instantaneous communications and trans-dimensional portals that deliver fuel, water, and food all around the world
Twins is about events four years after the birth of Ell’s twins, Caii and Raii. Only six months after their birth, an abortive kidnapping attempt successfully steals the girls but then loses them at a dirt airstrip in Mexico. Drug runners pick the twins up by mistake and take them to their cartel’s boss. This infuriates the chief because he was expecting a delivery of cash. To the boss’s astonishment, his infertile wife insists on adopting them!
The twins are four and a half (though their adoptive mom thinks they’re a year older than that) when a cartel up-and-comer kills their adoptive dad.
Without him, they and their adoptive mom must now find their own way in the world.
This is the story of how some of the talents they inherited from their mother ease those difficulties.
Unavoidably, this book also deals with some of the startling changes the world is going through as it adapts to the transporters Ell and Roger invented in Book 16.

This hard sci-fi novel is the first book of the Time-Flow Stories, a series of tales about Witt Ryllin, a young man who abruptly gains the ability to psychically control the flow of time. He sets to work, figuring out how to use his new gift to help his family and perhaps even improve his college prospects. This is far from as easy as he’d first hoped. Through all this he must deal with his sarcastic friend Jesse. A friend who’s sometimes helpful, but at least as often a big part of the problem. Oh, and Witt’s got girl trouble!

Story
There he was in his sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic, all alone and loving it. Well, there was a US Navy carrier group on his southern horizon, but he was a Navy guy himself, so he didn't mind. Then came the UFOs, hurtling in from the Outer Black to overfly the carriers at Mach 17. Their impossible aerobatics were bad enough—but then they started shooting at each other, and at the Navy, with nukes. Little ones at first, but winding up with a 500 megatonner at 90 miles that fried every piece of electronics within line-of-sight.

A "prehistorical-fiction" novel about a boy prodigy in a primitive caveman society. First he reduces a dislocation of his own finger, then works out how to "set bones" for others who’re injured. Like Jean Auel's Ayla, he discovers other primitive technologies, including trapping, smoking meat, and the domestication of a wolf. His mastery of these skills gradually elevates his previously despised and downtrodden position in their society - until he becomes highly respected and admired. And, falls in love with the girl he didn’t dream could love him back....

Great story, different narrator, editing issues
I was disappointed that the narrator changed after 16 books, but I understand things happen, and maybe the narrator wasn't available. My main issue was that the editing of this recording seemed poor. There were abrupt shifts in volume and voice that sounded like edits were made and spliced into the recording poorly. There were also a couple of places where the dialog was repeated.

Fun like they all are, some production quibbles
I mean, if you've gotten to 17, you probably don't need me to tell you these are fun books. Unless you like to listen to series backwards? Hey, I don't judge. You do you. I was a bit worried, since this one started with tragedy, and I listen to them for their upbeat and interesting world view not for sad things, but the tone improved quite rapidly.
There was a different narrator this time, which is always hard for a long running series. Valderrama is good, but I don't agree with the way she voiced Ell. The character as voiced by her is much harder. Which makes sense, a lot of this book is her doing what she needs to do to get her kids back. It doesn't acknowledge the character's overall kindness and fun, which show up in previous books.
If your job is to narrate books, no way you're going to have the time to invest in reading 16 prior books to get a concept of the character, but that feels like it should be the job of someone in the production team to provide that continuity. Director, novelist, producer? Additionally, little things, like Shan's name being pronounced differently than in previous novels kind of stand out.
They're quibbles, but I'm a quibbler.
Aside from that, definitely a valid member of the Ell Donsaii series, and worth your time and credit.

Another great Ell Donsai story
Great story, the narrator did a great job telling it. I have enjoyed all the Donsai stories and this was another one. Really hope to read and hear more, keep up the great work.

So glad to get this one.
I've been listening to this series for a long time now. I was sad that the two most recent books weren't available in audio. But now I got this one. I'm grateful to have it to listen to. The only only thing I have against it is the change in narrator. 16 books with the same narrator. So the change is a bit jarring. it's well done, just different.

Change in narrator
I was disappointed with the change in narrators after enjoying all of the previous books. I could not finish this book and this will conclude the story for me.
