Publisher's summary

Karl Strong is lonely. Not quite alone, which is, perhaps, worse.

His best friend moved away, his mother died, and his father has crawled into a hole and pulled it in after him.

He is a talented athlete, but after high school, he lets himself go and dies of a heart attack. Luckily, this is Middle Falls, where death is rarely the end of the story.

Karl will have every chance to find what he needs.

The Tumultuous Lives of Karl Strong is the eighteenth book in The Middle Falls Time Travel series. Like all books in the series, it can be enjoyed as a standalone or in order.

Contains a special note from the author.

Twice is Better

I read this book when it first came out on Kindle and listened to it when it came out on Audible. Twice is definitely better. Wonderful story!

Every story in this series truly intrigues me

I love this whole series. I am up in years and love the concept of getting to try my life again. I have always been terrible at whatever I do the first time so this concept gives me hope!
Mahalo Shawn Inmon for such a great concept.

Excellent entry in series, or stand alone

In some ways, this book represents much of the best of the entire Middle Falls Time Travel series. On Mon made me genuinely care what happens to Karl, a very three-dimensional (four-dimensional?) character with many of the strengths and weaknesses of many young and then older men - not understanding women, often not seeing what is right in front of him, not sure what to make his priorities in each new life. And as usual, Scott Brick never puts a syllable wrong!!

One of the best!

I recently finished listening to this book, and I must say, the story was absolutely amazing. From start to finish, it had me hooked with its compelling characters, intricate plot, and unexpected twists. The author's storytelling prowess was truly captivating and I found myself immersed in the world they created. I couldn't put it down and I highly recommend this book.

Shawn Inmon keeps getting better!

While the Charles Waters book remains my favorite the writing of Shawn Inmon keeps getting better as he goes. He is astonishingly proficient but early on some of the work had some clunky elements. Now however the books show that he has really become an expert at writing engaging and heartfelt stories that will both entrance you and uplift your spirits by the end of the book. It is VERY rare that a book brings me to tears but Shawn has done this on more than one occasion now including this one. Well worth a credit that is for sure. I also am really impressed at how good of a job he has done at choosing the narrators for his books. Scott Brick is among the very best and while this is a lot different than his work with Jack Reacher and other books he has done he nails this.

Always The Best!

There is never anything I dislike about Shawn Inmon’s books. I really hope he never stops writing Middle Falls. I feel like we’re all part of this family.
