Publisher's summary

Traveling into the past using the timelines of ancient artefacts, the Oblivion Order explore the forgotten centuries, ones that never made it into the history books. Weaving back through time, the secret society of eccentric anachronists ensures the best possible future for humanity, making subtle adjustments to the past—saving us from oblivion. Every alteration is carefully calculated, and nothing is left to chance. Until the day Joshua Jones, a teenage thief, breaks into one of their station houses and finds himself transported back to 1944—where he accidentally changes the outcome of WW2. Josh is inadvertently pulled into their secret world of alternate realities, temporal guilds and chaos demons. With the help of Caitlin, a beautiful librarian, he learns to harness his abilities as she shows him a future he never dreamed he could have. But beyond the temporal borders, an ancient evil is gathering, threatening to devour every moment that ever was. Will Josh fulfil his destiny? Will he come to terms with his past? A fast-paced time travel adventure, Anachronist will take you on a journey into a world not bound by the rules of time, exploring history and the consequences of changing it.

Riveting story

I only heard about this book 2 days ago and I'm already hooked to the series. It's not an entirely original idea, but the story telling was so good, I had to keep listening to hear what would happen next. I also loved the reader and, of course, his ability to voice the various characters was top notch. I'll definitely be back for the rest of the series.

Great story and great narration!

I loved this book! Will definitely listen to the whole series! The narration was superb! Each character had their own voice and there was no confusion as to who was talking. One of the characters, a mentor to the protagonist, sounded just like Sean Connery! I hope Mr. Degas will narrate all of Mr. Hastie's books! The story line is great and we're left with a cliffhanger at the end. So, having just finished this book, I'm off to download the 2nd in the series.

Time travel sort of meets Harry Potter

Loved this. Great, well fleshed out characters, interesting plot and a well detailed and consistent enhanced reality. Add time travel - an unusual spin on it too - and all this book needed for perfection from my pov was a bit of “spontaneous human combustion”.

Perhaps later in the series?

Very well done

I thought it was well thought out and performed. The reader did a spot on Sean Connery impression,.
