Publisher's summary

If you could go back in time...and witness any event...where would you go?

When Dr. Tom Greenbaum faces that question after successfully discovering the secret to time travel, he knows the time, place, and event he will witness: the death and failed resurrection of Jesus Christ. Dr. David Goodman, Tom's colleague and closest friend follows Tom into the past, attempting to avert a time-space catastrophe, but forces beyond their control toss them into a dangerous end game where they are tempted by evil characters, betrayed by friends, pursued by an assassin from the future, and haunted by a demon that cannot be killed.

His novels have been translated into nine languages. He is the director of New Hampshire AuthorFest, a non-profit organization promoting literacy in New Hampshire, where he lives with his wife and three children.

Critic reviews

"What surprised me, with [Robinson's] take on the possibility of two 21st century men meeting Jesus, was the utter lack of predictability.... He offers a new perspective on ripping apart the time-space continuum I am shocked no one has ever considered before now." ( Round Table Reviews)
"[A] thrilling and fast-paced 'what if?' scenario." ( MidWest Book Review)
"[A] rollicking adventure.... The story opens explosively and is laced with suspense and humor. Robinson writes quite well and is an up-and-coming author to watch...we'll hear, read, and see a great deal more from him in the future." ( Christian Book Previews)

Loved It!!

I think every one has thought about what it would be like to ge back in time. This reminds me of my own hidden desires to go back. Jeremy chooses an event and then creates what you would have experianced it, if you were really present. Jesus as a normal guy, with little pranks and indepth descussions. I was very impressed the whole concept of the book.

I really enjoyed this book!

I am such a sucker for time travel but this book does it really well! It covered all my logical questions about not only time travel but what it might be like for a modern man to travel back 2000 years and try to survive without screwing up the past.

The reader was excellent and conveyed the attitude of the characters quite well.

It was a fantastic premise and carried off quite well. Bravo!

Interesting idea, will not be listening again.

Would you try another book from Jeremy Robinson and/or R. C. Bray?

At the right price, I could be convinced.

Was The Didymus Contingency worth the listening time?

This book gave me a different perspective to consider, which I always think is worthwhile. Was it life-changing, no.

A mind bend

Great narrator and author. I loved having the Bible come to life. The writing was well done, but there was one love story that I found a bit hokey. It came out of no where with no real build up to make it seem natural. Made me barf a little. Sometimes characters would sound like another character. A few times Tom didn’t sound like himself. But it didn’t happen often. Bray did a great job narrating Legion. Putting together the entire timeline and how the chain of events is circular, seems like a great conversation to have while high. It definitely makes you go “whoa.” Or at least it did for my simple mind.

Exciting and Heart Warming Story

RC Bray once again provides an outstanding performance. He is a master of many voices.
Jeremy again writes an exciting story that keeps me entertained and wanting more. These two are a winning combination.
