Survivor

Rewinder, Book 3

De: Brett Battles

Narrado por: Vikas Adam

From best-selling novelist Brett Battles comes the conclusion of the Rewinder Trilogy.

Denny Younger. Historian. Time Traveler.

Prisoner.

There is nothing Denny wants more than to repair the damage former rewinder Lidia has done to history.

Her manipulations have thrown the time line he knows into chaos, and now he's locked away in an unfamiliar world, without the device that would allow him to fix what has been destroyed. Will Denny be able to bring back the life he knew and the people he loves, or will he be trapped in this violent time line forever?

Only time will tell.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A time-hopping dazzler!...Brett Battles can write anything." (Timothy Hallinan, award-winning author of the Poke Rafferty thrillers and Junior Bender mysteries)

engaging. Exciting. On the edge of my toes.

excellent book. Recommended for all readers. I listen to it with my teenage daughter and we loved it. I had to go on extra drives just so that I could get it finished. Loved it

Satisfying ending, great follow-up to book 2!

This book was just as tense as book 2 but, fortunately, this time we get a satisfying ending without a cliffhanger! I felt like this book wraps up the story arch extremely well and I am happy with how things turned out even if it wasn't how I expected it might go. If you were frustrated in any way by book 2 or its ending, this book is a must read (the same if you weren't bothered by book 2). Unsurprisingly, narration by Vikas Adam is perfect!

Exceptional! An original Time travel story

I am an avid Syfy reader. Time travel is my favorite of the various storylines. This Brett Batt trilogy is amongst the best, it's new and fresh, full of adventure and excitement.

Satisfying Ending!

I won't spoil anything. This book's story and it's narration was greatly satisfying. Where book one was just okay, the story in the second and third book and Denny's journey just accelerated from then on out and kept me riveted right up to the end.

I thought the time travel mechanics were a little off in the first book, but they become a tad bit more palatable by book 3. Just don't overthink it and if you can keep up with what happens in book 2 then kudos for you, because book 3 let's off the gas slightly. Either way, know it's good if you wish there were more. If you're reading this then I didn't have to tell you to stick it out until the end.

A satisfying end for a great time travel adventure

What does Vikas Adam bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Any additional comments?

The wait is over, the book is out and I’m very satisfied with the end result. Yes, I’m referring to Survivor, the 3rd and the last book in the awesome Rewinder trilogy by bestselling and award winning author Brett Battles. We all know that Brett can write anything, from adrenaline filled thrillers to heartbreaking dramas and even to sci-fi, but with Rewinder he created a great, thrilling and unputdownable saga revolving around time travel and the butterfly effect.

Survivor was released as an audiobook two days ago and after I highlighted its availability on Audible I spent almost all day yesterday listening to Vikas Adam as he delivered another stunning performance by giving life once again to Denny Younger and to his adventures.

Survivor picks up the story immediately after the end of Destroyer. Denny, our young Rewinder, is in a whole lot a trouble as the things are not looking good for him. He is a prisoner, he has no access to his Chaser and who knows if the things he messed up in the previous books can ever be fixed… Yes, I’m vague, but with a good reason. This being the 3rd book in a series, I still don’t want to spoil anything for the potential new readers and I think there will be a lot of them as the trilogy has ended and all the books are absolutely a thrill to read or to listen.

The book is a blast! Denny makes new friends and even more enemies in a new world ravaged by war. His path is filled with dramatic events and a lot of pain, but it remains to be seen what he really is! Is he a Rewinder, a Destroyer, a Survivor or, maybe, all three? You’ll have to find that out for yourself because I won’t tell you anything else about the story.

Brett Battles ends Denny‘s adventure with a bang, and I can admit that I didn’t saw it conclude in this way. He is one of my favorites authors out there, I listened to all of his books and he never disappointed me! If you’ve read the first two books in the Rewinder Series you already know in what kind of trouble Denny was and how bad things were. Well, let me assure you that Brett picks everything up, he gathers all the plot threads, he resolves everything and he wraps it all in a nice, satisfying story.

I don’t know if you remember my review for Rewinder, but that was my first narrative experience with Vikas Adam at the helm of an audiobook. Since then I listened to more books performed by Vikas and I can tell you that he does a fantastic job with any project that he works on.

Vikas Adam has a real talent for voices, for accents and, boy, he can act! He delivers another stunning, perfect performance, giving life with passion to all the characters, assigning to each one a different voice or a specific accent, and that makes it very easy for the listener to differentiate between them. He switches seamlessly from male to female protagonists, he does some great slavic accents and he infuses the experience with the right amounts of urgency, drama, nostalgia, dread or pure terror to highlight each scene exactly the way author Brett Battles envisioned it in his mind’s eye.

I enjoyed The Rewinder Trilogy as much as I did 11/22/63 and that’s saying something! If you want a good time travel adventure, you have to pick up these books. Maybe, one day, Brett and Audible will make a packed with all three books, something like, The Rewinder Complete Series :). Until then, I shall eagerly await more from Brett and hopefully he will get Vikas to perform any new series…

Denny Younger is a Rewinder and a Destroyer, but is he a Survivor? Solid writing by Brett Battles and perfect performance by Vikas Adam make this book an instant favorite!

Good conclusion to a great series

I really enjoyed this series. this book is the most confusing and suspenseful but still a good story

Excellent "trilogy"!

It's a little complicated and can get slightly tedious but still expertly crafted and very engaging. However, just one thing. Calling it a trilogy is a stretch. The second book was essentially just a prologue to the third and not really a full standalone story. No big deal now since all three are written and you can just pop along to the third one. It's just a way to squeeze out sales of a third book from what are essentially two books. I'm just glad I'm not back in time before the the third one was released and was left hanging with zero resolution after the second one. As it is now though? A splendid story that's one of the best time travel genre efforts around. And Vikas Adam was absolutely amazing. Wow, by far the best narrator I've ever heard of the hundreds of audio books I've consumed. :-)

Wrapped it up very nicely.

Surprisingly, I did not expect the ending...not exactly. Lots of action, gave me John Carter vibes, great cross-genre writing and plenty to think about. I really enjoyed how I started to think in terms of the author's rules for time travel (how to delete the future)

Time travel-- is this the end or the beginning?

That horrid snob girl from the Institute who has it in for Denny has made about a dozen changes to the time line that Denny has chosen to make permanent. Denny has to discover what she did then go back and stop her so she can't make them. He has to be sure to undo each and every one of her tangled changes or the time line won't come out right. And even if he kills her at one event, she is still there at the others.

But Denny is caught and imprisoned, separated from his chaser, and things are looking pretty grim and impossible. Nevertheless! Denny is one clever boy. How he decides to deal with snob girl is quite innovative. Then the ending is actually a surprise, totally not what you'd think, and it makes you stop and think about time,and all the things you wish you could go back and change.

I'd never heard of Vikas Adam before this, but he did an awesome job voicing everyone from the young people to the old, the males and females, the snobs and the meek. Good narration.

I can recommend this series to anyone who likes time travel. It's a great Youth series that older folks can enjoy as well.

Loved it

Book was very easy to listen to. I liked the way author explores implications of time travel and human relationship.
