About this listen
Three hundred years from now, Earth has been rendered uninhabitable due to the technological catastrophe known as the Nanocaust. Archaeologist Verity Auger specializes in the exploration of its surviving landscape. Now, her expertise is required for a far greater purpose. Something astonishing has been discovered at the far end of a wormhole: mid-20th-century Earth, preserved like a fly in amber.
Somewhere on this alternate planet is a device capable of destroying both worlds at either end of the wormhole. And Verity must find the device, and the man who plans to activate it, before it's too late - for the past and the future of two worlds.

REALLY GOOD
Don’t listen to the only other review. This is the best book ever and anyone who doesn’t like it is an objectively morally corrupt human being, so says I.

Tedium
Interesting voicing but it grates when French people are speaking French to each other but the English voicing gives them French accent!?!

Tropes
Surely written as a joke, 1950’s crime noir meets sci fi romance. Stayed to the end just to see if it would improve. Did have some laugh out loud moments.

Nobody likes a centrist...
I just wanted to bridge these other two reviews because they were so extreme. in essence they are both accurate, you can find an entertaining story with top tier narration.
I find Alastair's writing to be frustrating, sometimes it's very clever and usually quite descriptive great for world building, but some of the plot contrivances really bring the story down. It seems like a mix of ideas making it a bit bumpy and disjointed but that is part of the charm of an adventure story.
The narration from John Lee really is fantastic, that alone makes this audio book much better and worth your time if you enjoy Alastair's other work.
