Engaging, gripping, time-traveling mystery ride

Have loved it, Will love it, that's enjoyable time travel.

Engaging box set of standalone, gripping, fast paced fun time-traveling rides of mystery

Time of Death is an engaging, gripping, fast paced fun time-traveling ride of mystery with protagonist Greyson Travers, son of Ben and Mym Travers.

The Time Travel Detective Mystery boxset includes 3 standalones:
    1. Time of Death
    2. Agent of TIme
    3. Clockwise & Gone

I grew up enthralled with edgy adventures from many writers like Robert Heinlein and Larry Niven. So with the "In Times Like These" series, I have loved the thrilling ride along with a well developed family of characters, being captivated by fun page turners while they discover time travel, accidentally fallen through it, and learning how and who, (and who not,) to get help from.

In full disclosure, I had joined the Facebook fan group. After buying "Time of Death" ebook and acquiring the same in audiobook boxset, but before enjoying them, I messaged the author, Nathan Van Coops, about the use of an audiobook, giving a sense of listening to old radio plays or black and white film noir as I, with my grandmother, born in the 1890s, had.

He coyly replied to me, well, that's time travel, which I better understood why, when in early chapters, the Private Detective Greyson speaks of Humphrey Bogart in "The Maltese Falcon" and the tenor of the writing takes on that flair.

As in noir films, things are not always as they seem, and dastardly villians may abound, as we navigate these thillers. The book "Time of Death: A Time Travel Detective Mystery", had a nastalgic feel of the weekly episodic movie serials.

As I told the author, the hardest thing is waiting for the next book to be written.

Do not miss out on this!!

I’m a big fan of Mr Van Coops work. I’ve read the In Times Like These several times and am always excited for a new release. When I saw this audio book option I thought, “sure, why not, I’ve some credits to use and some driving to do.” I didn’t stop after driving. I’ll listen when I run or eat diner or whenever I can “make time” ;) - while I enjoy reading, this was a really entertaining listen. I’ll recommend it to all my friends. Get it! Now! Your ears will thank you.

Every day is a different story 👍

A wonderful adventure for the learning of the possibilities of life. Everyone can find a new adventure in their lives.

Three great offshoots of In Times Like These

These are three different, but related, novellas that branch off from the original In Times Like These books. Each book contains something or someone that links it to the original series, but goes in a very different direction. These three books aren't related to each other, and each could be the beginning of its own offshoot series. In fact, I hope that happens.
Time of Death is a hard-boiled noir romp. Agent of Time has an admirable investigator with a real a-hole of a boss - he didn't get his comeuppance in this one, but I'd love to see that happen in a subsequent book (hint). Clockwise & Gone is the shortest, and the one I liked best. It went deeper into the characters and their motivations, and had both chilling and touching moments.
My only nitpick is the narrator of Agent of Time. At times, she runs words together, then seems to remember her "narration training" and enunciates the ends of words so hard that it almost sounds like a stutter. It did interfere with my enjoyment of the book, which is why I knocked overall Performance down a star. The other two narrators were great.
I'm looking forward to more, and more, and more from Nathan Van Coops. Keep it coming!

Trust Me, You Need This!

I love audiobooks and I love Nathan Van Coops' work. Put the two together along with 3 amazing performers and you get this wonderful work of art. I had read 2 of the stories before listening to these, but hearing the confusion of the characters out loud (rather than just in my head) followed by the dawning their of understanding adds a completely new dimension to the stories. You better believe that I will be getting all works by Nathan Van Coops in both digital print and audiobook. I strongly recommend you do the same.

Narrator

Narrator was terrible. Like finger nails on a chalk board. Sounded like my 8th grade English teacher.

Very pleased to find a option to get all 3!

I have really enjoyed the In Times Like these series but I am not fond of using a credit on a short story. By combining these three its really well worth a credit as Agent of Time and Time of Death area a bit bigger though still fairly small books at around 4 hours each. Agent of Time: This is an excellent continuation of the In Times like these story line and I could not be more pleased to be able to keep reading more stories in this universe. If you have not read any of these go back to the first book and start from there. I will warn that it takes a bit of time in the very first book to get moving but once it does its quite a ride and you will want more, this is a great addition to that story line. Clockwise & Gone: Set in universe but with different characters, its a short story only 2 hours but its a very entertaining peek into this universe from new characters perspectives. Time of Death: Hopefully a start to a new series set in the In Times Like These universe, its a character we have not yet met but he is related to a character from the first set of books. Its a fast paced thrill ride and I really enjoyed it.

Now that’s a way to read a book!

I’ve only Listened to a few books like this before. I love Nathan’s collection so I was very excited to listen instead of reading for a change. This was a group of three of his books. The first one was done exceedingly well and the last one was done very well. I was not as impressed with the Middle book’s reading reader. The good thing is that Nathan‘s books are so well written that It doesn’t matter who reads them. :-) I will look forward to listening to more in the future.

1 and 3 are good 👍

Both story 1 and story 3 are good. The second story could be just as good, however the narrator is so terrible that I couldn't get through more than 15 minutes.
