About this listen

"Amazing! One of the twistiest time-tales I've ever read..."—Diana Gabaldon

"Crichtonesque thrillers don't come much better than this intricate outing which combines a fantastic premise... with a closed-circle whodunit. Readers won't be able to turn the pages fast enough."—Publishers Weekly—Starred Review

From the worldwide bestselling author of The Extinction Trials, Departure, and The Atlantis Gene comes a new kind of sci-fi thriller: a time-travel murder mystery with a twist you'll never see coming.

Control the Past. Save the Future.

Dr. Sam Anderson is one of the most celebrated scientists in history. Ten years ago, he invented a device that changed the world forever. Now his life is about to be ripped apart—and his own creation may be to blame.

One fateful morning, Sam discovers that his girlfriend has been murdered and that his daughter is accused of the crime.

Sam believes she's innocent, but he can't prove it. There's only one thing he can do to save his daughter: confess to the crime. And so he does.

But in the future, murderers aren't sent to prison. They're sent to the past.

Thanks to Sam's invention–Absolom–the world's worst criminals are exiled forever, sent back to the time of the dinosaurs, where they live out their lives alone.

As Sam steps into the Absolom chamber to leave for the Late Triassic, he makes a promise: he will get back to his family, clear his name, and find the person who killed the woman he loved.

What Sam doesn't know is that there's a secret waiting for him in the past. And it might be his only hope of saving himself and his family.

Sam isn't the only one seeking justice. In the present, his daughter, Adeline, also embarks on a mission to find the person who framed her and tore her family apart. She's already lost her mother. She can't bear losing her father too.

As Adeline peels back the layers of the conspiracy against her family, she uncovers more questions than answers. Everyone around her is hiding a secret, including her legal guardian. And some people aren't what they seem.

Adeline soon finds herself in the midst of a mystery that stretches across the past, present, and future—and leads to a revelation that will change everything.

Lost in Time is more than a murder mystery about advanced technology and time travel. It's a heartwarming story about family and the lengths we might go to in order to save the ones we love—with a twist that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew since the first moment.

The concept was good - the ending left me less enthusiastic

Narrator was really good and engaging. The storyline had such promise but seemed to rush the end and lose its way a tad. Worth a listen although not worth paying to.

Great concept lost its appeal a little in the final chapters

it's a decent book with plenty of time travel theories and science but the story takes a long time to reach a conclusion to the characters goal, then the event itself felt rushed akin to a tv series trying to bring back a dead character for the fans, It fell flat for me there, shame it was such a clever book until then.

Meandering…

I love a time travel novel, it’s one of my favourite genres.
This novel just doesn’t scratch my time travel itch, it limps along, the characters seem one dimensional, flat and lifeless. I felt no empathy towards any of them.
The time travel element is quite bland, and only in the final act does it start to turn into the story I would be interested in hearing, but then it’s over.
I’m not convinced any of the characters, or the author, had any idea what they had invented, it just seemed to be… “here, we made this, probably by accident, but we’re real clever… honest”
The murder mystery, I’m not sure it was, I just kinda nodded when the reveal happened.. yep, that’s that bit done then.
The narrator seemed a little to monotone for me, no real character work, read well, but it’s not really acted.
Based on the reviews, I seem to be in the minority, so hopefully you will enjoy more than I have.

Complicated but very enjoyable.

It felt like a long lead in to the time travel part. When it came you have to stay on your toes to keep up. I advise you don't second guess or like me you'll have to replay to straighten the story out again...
