Publisher's summary

A simple mistake. A slip through time and space. A strange new world.

He should have been more careful. But Alfred Favero, Senior Analyst with the IRS, wasn’t. Now he’s stuck in a world of opposites, where everything he knows is called into question.

To survive in Yngil-wode, the taxman must rely on a mysterious band of outlaws and tax thieves. But he risks getting drawn into a war with a tyrant. He risks sacrificing every principle he holds sacred.

How far will a man of the law go to save his own neck? How far will he go to save the woman he loves?

Alfred’s about to find out.

Another heckin' fun ride

Another edition of the Taxman's adventures and another heckin' fun ride.

Son of a biscuit, do I enjoy the team of Rachel Ford (author) and John Carter Aimone (narrator) in the Time Traveling Taxman series. This time we're treated to Alfred and Nancy traveling to an alternate universe with an alt-Alfred and alt-Justin in tow and antics ensue. I loved the interactions between Alfred and Nancy and the Alts. It's scenes like those that make this series so much fun.

To be honest, this book didn't quite go how I expected based on the synopsis. It was probably my least favorite of the series so far, but still incredibly enjoyable. The only issue I would have is, now that Alfred and Nancy have been a couple for a little while, I wish Alfred was a little more confident in his relationship and not always thinking that Nancy is ready to jump ship. In this particular instance, I can sort of see his concerns, but I hope that this adventure is a turning point for him.

Alfred views himself and good governance

This little gem in the Time Traveling Taxman series has hit a new stride, addressing relevant personal and social issues for young people. Alfred--who has been painfully gaining self-awareness over time--and his lady love Nancy take another tumble into the multiverse, coming face-to-face with a short series of other-dimensional doppelgangers. Finally, Alfred and Nancy meet other-Alfred (aka Freddo) and other-Justin, now a married couple, and end up in medieval England, in a version of the tale of Robin Hood.
Except--he's stealing taxes from a mayor who wants to build a hospital, and he wants to spend it on addictive potions for himself and his merry, shiftless band, while the wives of the forest work themselves to exhaustion taking care of the men (who are lazy) and sick children (who need the hospital). And so we see the selfishness of addictive behavior, the beneficial application of taxes for the common good, and and Alfred taking relationship advice from Freddo, who has chosen Justin to partner with. It's a wonderful mashup of human behaviors and completely turns the tale of Robin Hood on its head!

A taxman nightmare

what could be worse than camping? getting transported through dimensions to the lair of the world's most notorious tax cheat, Robin Hood! Alfred and Nancy are off on another hilarious adventure! I cant wait for more. I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

❤️

This book is probably my favorite in the series so far. Laugh out loud funny it was a pleasure to listen to. The whole multiverse story line is a perfect addition to this series.

Wonderful performance by the narrator.

Love and Taxes in Alternate Dimensions!

Great story and narration!

Alfred and Nancy are back and going on vacation! What could possibly go wrong? Bad weather? Getting sucked into alternate realities? Being accosted by dangerous criminals? Who knows? We do know, however, that Alfred loves Nancy, and that our trusty taxman takes his taxes seriously!

This was a fantastic continuation of the series, and if you enjoyed the rest of it then you will love this one too!

Camping?

The tax man and his girlfriend go for a 2 week camping vacation to rest and relax. What could go wrong? The time slip device gets wet and malfunctions, taking them to alternate realities where they already exist, except with relationship mash-ups. The tax thieves are not who you think!

Time travel

I received this free audiobook free for an honest review. I was a little skeptical about listening to this book based on the title but .y opinion shortly changed. the story started off a little slow, but it soon picked up. this is the funniest time travel audiobook.

Alfred in the Multiverse

This is an outstanding addition to the Time Traveling Taxman series. First, the story in itself is very interesting. But more importantly, Time Slips explores some of the conundrums of the multiverse theory and how these changes bring Alfred to question his views of life and love. A story that is both light and heavy!

Funny and out of the box

The interplay between the characters in this book is hilarious. I loved the storyline and out of the box take on time travel.

Narrator did a better job in this book or I am getting used to his voice.

Definitely worth listening to if you like time travel books.
