About this listen

The impossible has spawned the unthinkable. In 2021, a quantum military experiment goes horrifically wrong. A multinational taskforce of ultramodern warships is suddenly transported back in time to 1942...right into the path of the US naval battle group bound for Midway Atoll.

History is rewritten in an instant as the future smashes into the past, and high-tech hardware goes head to head with World War Two technology. In the chaos that ensues, thousands are killed, but the maelstrom has only just begun. The veterans of Pearl Harbor have never seen a helicopter or a cruise missile - let alone nanotechnology, ceramic bullets, and F22 Raptor stealth jetfighters.

Allied and Axis forces are then caught in a desperate struggle to gain the upper hand - each hoping to tip the balance with a fist full of 21st-century firepower. What happens next is anybody's guess - and everybody's nightmare.

This is one of those books I have read many times over the years and I was thrilled when I joined audible and found it!

I think this audio book will be a frequent listen again.

A great listen.

The concept and story are good so far. What I don’t understand is why so many people bash the narrator. Sounds perfectly good to me and better than some.

Unfair towards narrator!

Would you consider the audio edition of Weapons of Choice to be better than the print version?

I have all three of the audio books in this series and got through the them in 1 week.Te way the story develops is well paced and you get a good feel for the story. The way the groups in the books play off against each other is well thought out and the action is exciting. The way the futuristic weapons are used and historical characters portrayed is believable.

Good time travel book

Compelling storyline and great narration. Considering the amount of different accents spoken, a few of them being slightly “off” isn’t really such a big deal.

I've been waiting for years for these books to come on the audio market, the story is a real boys own adventure, but why have they got this narrator, when he's doing an American character it's ok but when he try's a female one
It's laughable, a female British voice is dreadful, a female Australian voice OMG talk about Dick Van Dyke in Mary poppins.
It's a real shame they've really missed a trick here.
I still bought the trilogy through as I love JB's work.

What a dreadful narrator!!!

Simply one of the best books i have ever listened too Epic scale and content. A lot of thought has gone into this. Entire series download.. Narration by Jay Snyder was for me, excellent. Do not be off by some of the reviews. Make up your own mind.

Absolutely Brilliant Trilogy

Mostly decent

I thought it was a good idea for a story but I think it was too long, could easily have been half the size, the narrator was good.

Good

Just confusing, good engaging story in places and a lack lustre ending that left me feeling like I needed answers 🤔

I nearly didn’t get this book because if reviews criticising the narrator’s accents. I’m very glad I wasn’t put off it because this is an epic adventure, with a compelling plot. As with all time travel ins has to buy/in to the premise but it was fascinating the ash the different cultures of past and present clashed and played out. Can’t wait to start the next book. For me the narrator did a great job; some of the accents were far from authentic but that didn’t spoil it for me. The book had me smiling too, some of the dialogue is very amusing.

A great time travel novel - gripping plot
