Science, Spying and Spiritual Thought

On the surface an edge of your seat spies chasing science secrets thriller. But also a look at the meaning of good and evil

Great listen - couldn’t stop

Narration and story were great, you fall in love with the characters.

I put this one off for a while and I’m really glad I came back to it.

Great story, not a big fan of the ending though...

Great story, not a big fan of the ending though - just didn't seem like enough closure. Narrator did a great job.

A Good Book

This story is not as immediately engaging as the Time Quintet. I didn't get to hear nearly as much from or about Dr. O'Keif and Meg as I would have liked.

Very realistic.

The main character is kind and likable. However, as in real life, he does not always know what to do or who to trust. The twists and turns of the story will keep you from wanting to stop listening.
