Publisher's Summary
Chicago, 2064: Talon Avalon is a timecaster - one of a select few peace officers who can operate a TEV, the Tachyon Emission Visualizer, which records events (most specifically, crimes) that have already happened. With crime at an all-time low, Talon has little to do except give lectures to school kids and obsess about his wife's profession as a licensed sex partner... until one of her clients asks Talon to investigate a possible murder.
When Talon uses the TEV to view the crime, the identity of the killer is unmistakable: it's him, Talon Avalon.

"it wont be on your english 101 reading list"
This is flat fun. sex, blood, and alot of people get kicked in the nuts!! What eles do you need in a book. The future is hard to buy but it sure would be fun.
The only thing is that the main character almost dies so often it dose get a little flat near the end. With that said i realy enjoyed it I'm not a better human for reading it but i am a happer human for reading it.2 of 2 people found this review helpful -

"WTF, the BHV is a SLP"
I have to agree with my friend from my hometown, I ain't a better person for listening to this, but I am a happier person. This is a fun short book with plenty of laughs and some good solid Science Fiction. There are also some Maxwell Smart scenes, (missed it by that much.) There is sex and lots of chase scenes. I am not a big fan of chase scenes/fight scenes, especially ones that last for three chapters, but I do like sex. The chase scenes were over done, but the sex scenes just helped with the fun. Wait till you meet Yummy and her friend Tasty. There are nano-tubes, space elevators, jelly ropes and more.
Even though I am not a big fan of fight scenes, there is usually an element that makes the fight quite different from what you read in your normal westerns. Yes, there are too many near death situations, but there is also a mystery that will keep you guessing. The main mystery is well done, and may be overlooked by those who are too troubled by the fun parts.
In chapter eighteen you meet Harry McGlade who makes for an extremely funny sidekick. Harry has a pet bonsai elephant named Penis, who is LOL funny.
A BHV is a Bleeding Heart Volunteer and a SLP is a State Licensed Prostitute. The main character's wife is a SLP. Talk about a challenging marriage.
This is my first J.A. Konrath, Jack Kilborn, Joe Kimball novel, but it won't be my last. Matter of fact I have already started Afraid and the first three hours are scary and very gory.
By the way even though I am white, I don't live in a trailer.1 of 1 people found this review helpful -
"Timewaster reading Timecaster"
This was bad Science Fiction. Not so bad that I couldn't persevere and finally get to the end to see how everything turned out. I had spent my hard earned money after all.
Unfortunately that listening effort ended in the middle of the story and a "to be continued" plot line. The hero made it out of so many impossible situations - but he is not going to survive my emphatic decision on this series.
There is not going to be a Timecastrer 2 in my future.3 of 4 people found this review helpful -

"Juvenile, macho story."
I bought this book when it was on sale. I was extremely glad I did not pay full price. It was all I could do to listen to the first half. I kept hoping it would get better. Finally I gave up and did not finish the story.

"Ho Hum"
Would you try another book from Joe Kimball and/or Patrick Lawlor?Sorry I wont listen to another of Kimball's books
What could Joe Kimball have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?Book was predictable. More fantasy than Science Fiction.
What three words best describe Patrick Lawlor’s voice?Very talented did many voices which was nice
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?Some funny spots
Any additional comments?Seems like a book for teenage boys but not much more.
