Borrowed Time

By: Jack Campbell

Narrated by: Adam Verner

New York Times best-selling author Jack Campbell takes listeners on an incredible journey through time in this collection of seven stories.

The centerpiece of Borrowed Time is "Betty Knox and Dictionary Jones in the Mystery of the Missing Teenage Anachronisms". When you've traveled through time and are stuck in the body of your 15-year-old self, it isn't the best time to have some other time travelers looking to kill you. Especially when the person who's supposed to be keeping an eye out for the bad guys is stuck in his own 15-year-old body.

In four interlinked short stories, temporal interventionists Tom and Pam meet cute, then work together to solve some of history's greatest mysteries. And in "Joan", Kate is a time-traveling researcher who's gotten a little too close to Joan of Arc both in time and emotionally. With no distance, scientific or otherwise, what will happen when she has a chance to rescue Joan from being burnt at the stake?

Our journey through time concludes with "Crow's Feat", where a skeptical writer goes back to Elizabethan England to discover the true author of Shakespeare's plays.

These are just middling stories

This was a collection of short stories, most of which were OK, but none of which was particularly compelling. Listening to them, I found myself feeling I was just sticking with it because that is something I usually do. Not this time. Mildly interesting stories take time from better stories. So I’m going to stop reading this.

Time Travel

I love Jack Campbell's ideas about time travel; even if I don't think it will weber happen. For example, cause and effect being circular rather than linear. Or coming back with all your memories into your earlier body.

Fun, quick, interesting

I enjoyed these short stories and how he deals with time travel issues. having them interrelated really help keep my interest

some of these were very thought-provoking!

Here are some stories about time travel that will tickle your space-time-continuum funny bone. Especially interesting are the ones that explain actual historical events through possible time travel interventions.

Truly thought provoking words!

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories! I would love to hear more of Tom and Pam's adventures. Though getting Mr. Hembry's take on little known historical characters, such as William Shakespeare and Joan of Arc, is also very interesting!
