On a little-known planet, Archmage Varic Vallenar casts a grand spell to empower himself with the magical abilities of his alternate selves. The ritual works too well, granting Varic not only the magic but also the memories from six lives. Including their gruesome deaths. Now, Varic has power greater than any wizard in galactic history, but he knows that won’t be enough. The enemies he faced in those alternate lives were apocalyptic in scale. Terrors of technology and magic. Nothing that he, or anyone, can defeat.

At CERN, he analyses data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. Now, Ty believes he's found a pattern in its output. It looks like an organised data stream, being broadcast over what he calls a quantum radio. Could it be a signal from another universe? A message sent from the future? Or something else entirely?

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

He would try harder. With six hours before his little girl’s fourth birthday party, he saw the anomaly. One wall was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. His house wasn’t made of brick. Behind that was another just like the first. He still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway.

A new beginning to an incredible story.
I enjoy this except of The World Walker. While this story is about Seb's daughter, Joni, it is still a thrilling ride that answers many questions and sets the stage for the next book. In this book Joni grows up becoming her own person supported by her mother, Mei and Uncle John; Sym is even there towards the end. I can't wait to hear about what comes next but I don't want to spoil anything for others so I will just say: I highly recommend this book and enjoyed the story contained within. It is a satisfying tale that keeps you engaged throughout and left wanting more!!

Too much time in the villains head.
What would have made The Seventeenth Year better?
The author spent too much time in the villains head. He's evil we get it, no need to drag it out. If Adam had some redeeming qualities that made you sympathize with him I could understand it. But as written the Adam point of view portions of the book were boring and predictable and made me want to quit listening a couple times.
What character would you cut from The Seventeenth Year?
I wouldn't cut any characters but I would have trimmed Adam's part.

Disappointing
I was really looking forward to this book, but I found it painful for at least the first half, and I was totally underwhelmed about the end. It's almost as if the author felt forced to throw something together and couldn't quite make it as interesting and well-developed as the previous books. It also went to the next level in some gory scenes that were a little bit much. (Sorry, I know a lot of work goes into writing a book and continuing a story :( )
It may be worth noting, I always thought Mia was an irritating character. If you liked her, then you may like this better than I did.

The weakest of them all, but still entertaining!
I've read all 4 books and I'm writing one review for them all with the hope to help you decide if it is worth listening them. My first impression is that it sound a lot like a tale (fairy tale if you wish). It is not such, but it does sound like one. It grabs you from the beginning, very original start. You might experience memories from your childhood while listening this book (the whole series actually), which was a great feeling for me and hopefully for you too. The author makes a wonderful job extending the story in a way that you don't get bored by useless character building. The character building happens while the story develops - the author takes a short chapters to show you something in the past and that's how it happens. Most of the times those short chapters in the past are accompanied with nice story, so even that is not boring.
The narrator - super, amazing job... I'm simply speech less. I can't imagine anyone better for this job. I'm big fan of R.C. Bray, but I think even he can't make that good narration of the book. I'd say he is half of the pleasure you get while listening the book. The main reason - he reads the book as a story-tale.
As for the story - you might think it is a sci-fi, then a fantasy.. then a mixture.. and the truth could be somewhere in between.. who knows :) But it is an original story and it is entertaining.
Now about each book:
The World Walker - 9 out of 10 - great beginning of the series.
The Unmaking Engine - 10 out of 10 - simply amazing, probably the best book of them all.
The Seventeenth Year - 7 out of 10 - now that's a problem. If you are pretty young, you will probably give it 10/10, but I'm nearly 40 and it did sound a lot like teenage action. Also too much love. Basically I think this was the weakest book of them all, but still interesting enough. You better don't skip it or you will regret :)
The Unnamed Way - 9 out of 10 - back in business again! All goodies are back again.. there's again a bit more love/romance then needed and a little flat end, but the end is just 1-2 chapters, while all the rest was very entertaining. The story prior the end was very interesting and the end itself was expected and nothing spectacular.
The author has a great potential. I see these are his first books. He has a great writing skills, very captivate style. I just wish he does a bit less distraction.. lets say 10-20% less would make his books even more interesting. But even with this I definitely put this author is my personal top 3 and I'm very keen on reading/listening more books by Ian W. Sainsbury !

Man, that was some tasty storytelling
Imo this is the best of the bunch... A tight, well paced, and intriguing sf/fantasy, coming of age type, thriller... The writing is impressive... Delightfully intricate plotting, and replotting, w/o confusing the storyline... The reset drives action, and emphasizes consequences... Little bit of ssocial commentary of a topical nature, lightly and perceptively done... Excellent characters and relationships... Great bad guy, and loved the way AI is proposed, and what that makes Sim... I was engrossed thoroughly, and awed by the storytelling skill displayed... Couldn't put it down...

Gets you from the beginning
Just wow! another great book in the series! Todd did an amazing job of showcasing Joan's friggin power. Even though she is Sebb's daughter, she doesn't seem to have his powers.
While Joan's is on the run by some crazed lunatic, she shows she can wield her powers.

The gimmick was a poor one.
Any additional comments?
There could have been so much that could have happened in this instalment. The gimmick simply ate up reading/listening time. The constant narrative recapping events to make sure the reader was still with the twists was a bit much. Then again the repeating of events to other characters over and over again so that the characters were up to date was yet another layer of retelling.
I think the gimmick could have been used more effectively. The potential capabilities that were simply left on the table and not explored hurt the plot and made the story much blander than previous instalments.
( It's hard not giving spoilers. )

A gory but exciting next chapter
Definitely the best book in the series so far. I really enjoyed this listen. Just be aware that this book is a lot more graphically violent than the first two. I listen to it while I'm walking my dog and the faces and grimaces I must pull while walking him listening to this must be a picture! Looking forward to the next book!

as with the previous books in this series of the performance can detract from the story but not overly so. I have read many stories and find myself thinking "oh that's just like in..." which makes the story feel like the author has mixed other books and media together to construct this story; it felt like Sim was based off of Lobsang from the long earth, and that Joanie's ability was straight out of Prince of Persia the sands of time. also Adam seemed to be a straight up rip off of agent 47 from the hitman series.

Don't bother
The first book was good, second was ok, this was trash. This book contradicts the first in so many ways, it's painful.

Author ran out of story half way through
A bit disappointing after the first two books. This one began with promise but about halfway through the plotline just seem to stop. Seems like there was not enough story so he just waffled for a long time without making any progress at all.

took quiet a while to get into this one
seemed like a bit of a tangent to start with. took a while to get into the new characters. it was like a bit of a reset on the previous stories partly familiar and part new.

Great
It's been a while since I read the first 2 "World Walker" books. However, when I picked this up I found myself slipping right back into this amazing world. About to start book 4 now.

More action and story unfolding, but something...
... holds it back. I like these books, but I think the prose is trying too hard. The action is good and easy to follow the fights and gore while being entertaining. Keeps you drawn in however and the story line is well connected. On to the final book then...

Story
If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.
