Bob Howard is a computer-hacker desk jockey, who has more than enough trouble keeping up with the endless paperwork he has to do on a daily basis. He should never be called on to do anything remotely heroic. But for some reason, he is.

The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements, where you’re restricted to 2,000 calories of badly flavored soy every day. You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world, or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

No Lord Kalvan.

Great classic sf. Could use better breaks between stories. I wish it contained Lord Kalyan of Otherwhen.

narrator

I like Piper's books. However the narrator did not seem to even try to differentiate the characters' voices, making this recording harder to finish.

Technical Difficulties

There seems to be a section of story missing from the middle and appearing at the end instead.
I'm sure Audible will fix it soon, so it shouldn't count against the audio book in general.

Excellent stories, marred by shoddy audiobook

While I enjoyed Paratime!, I'm unlikely to listen to it again without significant work, as the final story is completely destroyed by having several chapters in the wrong order. As Audible doesn't present you with the ability to download audiobooks in chapters any more, I'd have to chop the file up and restructure it myself in order to make it listenable.
