    About this audiobook

    SOME STORIES CANNOT BE TOLD IN JUST ONE LIFETIME.
    Harry August is on his deathbed. Again.
    No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes.
    Until now.
    As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. "I nearly missed you, Doctor August," she says. "I need to send a message."
    This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.

      amazing book, doesn't matter what genres you like, this is a very interesting read.
    • 5/5
      Easily one of the best books I have read/listened to this year.
    • 5/5
      Fantastic! I couldn't stop listening. Story just grips you in as it starts, and never lets go until the very end.
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this book. Slowly paced but I enjoyed every chapter. Part of me wants a sequel but a bigger part wants it to stand alone and not be ruined by overusing the idea.

      Time travel is a story device that have been used many times. It is hard to find a unique way to capture that kind of plot. The author tells a story I do not think we have seen before and does it well. Harry is a likable character but the real star of this story is the world in which he builds where a certain segment of the population lives life over and over again able to remember what had occurred.

      This book was amazing! The detail she goes into and the story itself was one of, if not, the best book I have ever read! I highly recommend, even if you are not into science fiction! I would also recommend the audio book, because the narrator is incredible, he does everyone's accent so well, that alone was worth listening to the book! I can't wait to see what else she writes!
    • 5/5
      Totally enjoyed listening to this book. The plot was rich and thought provoking. Makes you wonder of the possibilities around it. This can easily be a universe of its own.
    • 5/5
      Really fantastic book. Takes the premise of reincarnation in a whole new direction.
    • 3/5
      Just a bit too lengthy and missed opportunity to explore other directions of the characters.
    • 5/5
      Excellent book, thought provoking, well written. I enjoyed it a great deal.
    • 5/5
      This was a phenomenal story. It's a mixture of Doctor Who and Edge of Tomorrow. At first the novel is a little complex and jumps around chronologically. But after a while the story all comes together and the jumps don't seem as arbitraty, instead they are key parts of the plot. Excellent audio book!
    • 5/5
      A bit long but time well spent. Try this book and you won't regret it.
    • 4/5
      There was a point in this book when my sequential, mind was so irritated with too many lives, names, deaths, non-sequential years and events that I quit the book, failing to see the point of it all. While otherwise enjoying 3 other books, curiosity as to why a club had ceased to exist and who or what villain was responsible, I returned to the book and thoroughly enjoyed the rest to its satisfying end.
    • 5/5
      Captivating storyline, thoughtful, reflective, clever. I loved it and will listen again
    • 5/5
      Supremely creative storyline. Well done! I can’t want for the next book from the author.
    • 5/5
      Smartly written and wonderfully unique! I enjoyed it very much.
    • 3/5
      decent story, but time travel is just messy business. it didnt take long to feel a sense of futility for both the MC, the Villain, and both their goals.
    • 5/5
      Incredible book which kept me wanting more at the end. Haunting.
    • 4/5
      Very complicated yet really interesting. Took a while to understand.
    • 5/5
      This was a marvelous book! I stayed up many nights, not wanting to turn it off.
    • 5/5
      It's tricky telling a story about alternative timelines with a fresh angle. This book does that very well, and it held my interest throughout. The performance of the narrator was very fitting, as well. At first I didn't care for it, but as I understood the character more it made sense. Recommend it for any sci-fi or mystery fans!
    • 5/5
      Phenomenal! I found it a bit slow in the 3rd quarter of the book but well worth working through that section. Great work and well narrated.
    • 5/5
      I thought this was going to be a dumb Star Trek time travel paradox story, but it turned out to be far better. Definitely worth a listen.
    • 5/5
      Well done. I liked the approach of the story and the steady progress through the plot.
    • 5/5
      Amazing. Wow. A bit challenging to follow at times but so worth it. Also the narration was superb.
    • 5/5
      A very unique and complex story! I have an interest in stories involving time travel or reincarnation. Anything, really, that challenges the linear notion of time as we know it. This book did not disappoint and kept my interest throughout the reading. I only wish there was a sequel!
    • 5/5
      amazing book. I could not put it down until I was done
    • 5/5
      What a great story! The twists and turns are wonderful!
    • 5/5
      Real eye opening book. love the concept and the detail.
    • 5/5
      Interesting premise makes for a good read. The machine was a stretch but the characters were interesting and quirky enough to be real. I enjoyed it
