Displaced

In Times to Come

De: Scott B. Williams

Narrado por: Mike Vendetti

A glitch in time and a one-way trip….

Back from his final deployment with the US Marines, Alan Carson is hiking across New Mexico’s Gila Wilderness to ponder his future and put the war in his past.

When his best friend and squad leader, Sergeant Kurt Timms, took a Taliban bullet because of bad intel, Alan made a promise to his dying friend. He would come here to see the rugged mountains that were Kurt’s boyhood stomping grounds, even if the horseback hunting trip the two of them had planned would never come to pass.

After paying his respects to Kurt’s wife and daughter at the ranch his buddy had called home, Alan loads his pack for a week and heads into the Gila, finding all the splendor and solitude of which Kurt so often raved. But deep in a trackless canyon, miles from any trail, Alan finds something else: the body of a dead man at the foot of a cliff…an ancient cave dwelling in the rock face above…and a mysterious passageway too intriguing to ignore.

Alan Carson has come to the West to contemplate the next chapter of his life, but the future into which he emerges is beyond imagination, and the world he’d known before is changed beyond recognition. Can he ever come to grips with this new reality he must face? Or will he long for his old life, even if it means returning to a war he at least understands?

Displaced is book one of the Times to Come series: a story of survival and courage in a near-future dystopian nightmare.

Good book, but….

Everyone the main character encounters is a jerk! That makes it an irritating story. Decent story idea though.

Serial

Not enough story for the money. Builds up to the good part then throws you out to pay more.

Decent enough book

I happen to like time travel stories. This one is decent enough. The setup is believable. The main character figuring out they have traveled thru time takes a bit to figure out, but again, believable. The story pacing is a bit slow, but it finally gets you there. I think if I had of found myself in the same sitituation, I think I would have been a bit more open to something weird had definitely happened!
As I said the pacing was quite slow, until the very end. Then boom, a quick jump in action, and the book ends.
The narrator again was OK. My only complaint is not really a complaint but an observation. The narrators tone is low. Since I listen primarily in a car, the car background noise blends in with the narrators voice, making it difficult to hear. So I have to turn up the sound a bit more that I normally would. But other than that is is fine. I have definitely hear much much worse! He is not in that category at all.
overall, a decent listen. however, i am not sure if I am interested enough to go to book 2.

interesting story line

the story line was interesting- however the story took a long time to get started - it was hard to keep interested in the book

Ok story, not too developed though

The story was drawn out too much and not enough substance. It also didn’t leave the story complete. I know it’s a series but most books even in a series should be able to stand alone. Interesting concept but not totally satisfied.
