About this listen

In 2061 a young scientist invents a time machine to fix a tragedy in his past. But his good intentions turn catastrophic when an early test reveals something unexpected: the end of the world.

A desperate plan is formed: recruit three heroes, ordinary humans capable of extraordinary things, and change the future.

Safa Patel is an elite police officer, on duty when Downing Street comes under terrorist attack. As armed men storm through the breach, she dispatches them all.

'Mad' Harry Madden is a legend of the Second World War. Not only did he complete an impossible mission - to plant charges on a heavily defended submarine base - but he also escaped with his life.

Ben Ryder is just an insurance investigator. But as a young man, he witnessed a gang assaulting a woman and her child. He went to their rescue and killed all five.

Can these three heroes, extracted from their timelines at the point of death, save the world?

Good story, a lot of repetition

Really enjoyed the story. The main thing that actually made me cringe after a while, was that there is so much repetition; I nearly rage quit. I think if I hear one more time that 'he is Ben Ryder, ...' I'm going to lose it; you'll know what I mean when you listen. Don't let it put you off though, it's a good story.

Not what you expect

Complex characters and unexpected story line, keeping you guessing looking forward to the next one

Yes, My cup of tea.

I loved the story and how it unfolded. loved the connection of the characters. Great interactive personalities. Even the interaction and power undercurrent of who would have the last word (dig), added to the un written psycology of the characters. The high energy battles were very well written to let the reader have a full view and some questions to ponder. Loved the reinvention of time travel lines.

Fantastic

I can not believe the bad reviews for this book, I couldn’t put it down,infact I listened to it twice Carl Prekopp was so good with the narrative as well, he bought out the humour in the book, all I can say is, give it a go, I’m sure if you like books with time travel, quirky characters, and some war type action you will love it, you will need to read the second book which brings it all together there is also a third book coming out. ( can’t wait)

A remarkably well thought out journey through the possibilities of time travel!

I absolutely loved this book, the following two books are brilliant as well.
I powered through them with never a dull moment, the characters are wonderfully real and authentic, especially the protagonists, I will miss then now that I’ve completed the series.
I’d love to hear more of their adventures.
5 out of 5.

Great story, intriguing characters

Well written and well performed. The character development was good and there was a good level of suspense which kept me wanting to learn more about what was going on.

Just poor writing.

I wasn't expecting brilliance but this title really disappointed. The story is infantile, repetitive and - even for SF/Fantasy - illogical. Feeling something for the characters is necessary for empathy but the two main characters in Extracted are foul-mouthed sociopaths. Yes, I know people can and do swear a lot but it's boring after about eight minutes. Sadly, this book is much longer than that. In the hands of a better writer the concept might have had legs but the mysterious Haywood might be hiding for a reason I think. The vocal performance is professional and clever but even the narrator seems to get trapped in the rhythmic dullness of the story and characters.
Avoid!
