About this listen
Shortly afterwards, another, larger pillar arrives in the center of Bangkok - obliterating the city and killing thousands. Over the next several years, human society is transformed by these mysterious arrivals from, seemingly, our own near future. Who is the warlord "Kuin" whose victories they note?
Scott wants only to rebuild his life. But some strange loop of causality keeps drawing him in, to the central mystery and a final battle with the future.

I will admit I was slightly disappointed with the ending, expecting more closure than it gave.
Though the author takes some liberties with the scientific parts of the concept of time travel, he has done this in a fantastic manner.
The narration was okay. I am still uncertain why the narrator chose to give the main protagonist such an exhausted, emotionless voice. The other characters were voiced well. There were a couple of mistakes, in particular I think the narrator forgot to switch voices once or twice.
Great story, albeit shorter than I expected.

The story never strays from the mysterious appearances, creating a strong plot that does not overshadow the characters, yet provides plenty of opportunity for drama.
Oliver Wyman gives a marvellous performance--both of male and female characters--without rushing the story. And his rather staid yet sarcastic intonations serve to contrast the dour humour against Wardon's ever worsening predicament; you can't help but sympathise and like Wardon, who reveals himself to be all too human, though witty, which makes him an appealing character with whom to spend time.
A definite download.
A totally engrossing Sci-Fi Classic
