Summary
When Micajah Fenton discovers a crater in his front yard with a broken time glider in the bottom and a naked, virtual woman on his lawn, he delays his plans to kill himself. While helping repair the marooned time traveler's glider, Cager realizes it can return him to his past to correct a mistake that had haunted him his entire life. As payment for his help, the virtual creature living in the circuitry of the marooned glider, sends Cager back in time as his 10-year-old self, knowing everything he'd known at 80 and gives him access to advanced equations of space and time.
But living life over knowing the future isn't as easy as Cager has anticipated. His every action alters the future he remembers until much of what he remembers never happened at all. And those changes work against him at every turn, preventing him correcting the most serious mistake of his life. Now he must use his advanced mathematical ability to build his own time machine to go back and try again. But he needs a fortune even to begin.
Then he receives help from a strange young woman with no history. While perfecting time travel, Cager and his new partner overcome enormous problems, even being hunted by dinosaurs in the Cretaceous. After that, though, things get really bizarre.

Absolutely brilliant
Best book I’ve listened to in a long time. So very much more than a story about time travel. It got me from the first sentence and kept me listening to the last. It has everything you could want from a great story, love, humour, tragedy, intrigue, not to mention beautiful aliens. Oh yes, and some time travel of course. One I’ll listen to again.

Best book I've listened to.
Deeply emotional in places and I was drawn in to the lives of the main characters. Original writing and wonderful narration.

The best book I've ever listened to
This book went from Alien scifi, to Bobiverse, to True detectives, to back to the future, to Jurassic park and then back to sci fi. I mean this was incredible and just amazing. certainly worth the time.

A sticker
This is one of those books you have to wade through the middle of in order to get to the good stuff.

A good mixture of sci-fi, thiller and romance.
I downloaded this book as a gamble. I wanted some good old time travel. Good explanations of how it would work if it could. I listened at 1.4 speed as the America, southern droal was too slow. Took me back to Song of the South, and waiting to hear brair-rabbit in his laughing place. Great listen and one I'll do again.
