Novel concept and execution.
Revisado: 05-10-25
Slow start but picks up quickly. Interesting concept and execution. Interest builds throughout. However, this is a trilogy that needs to be read as a trilogy. The virtual voice works much better than I thought it would. Some minor quirks, and no attempt at diffentiating characters. But clear and easy to follow in this work anyway.

Excellent. Layers mounting to layers. Big events softly told
Revisado: 11-15-23
A quiet book about big happenings. Flows together not the way we would like, but the way these must. Inconclusive, as life is.

Eight-year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By the age of 16, she's competing for the US Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting.

Excellent story with perfect performance
Revisado: 02-22-23
As a chess nut 40 years ago I read this book, and was deeply impressed. It makes no less impression 40 years later, to a former chess nut. The performance was perfect in my opinion, matching the cadence of the protagonist. Will definitely listen again in a few years time.

A mysterious woven metal artifact is found at a paleontological dig in Africa. Mystified experts, confounded by the impossible timeline they get from traditional dating methods, call upon a stubborn young man with a unique talent. Matthew Turner's gift is also his curse: When he touches any object, his awareness is flooded with the thoughts and feelings of those who touched it before him. It is a talent that many covet, some fear, and almost no one understands.

A novel novel

Good story. Unusual situation. Plenty of plot. Well paced. Excellent performance. Plenty for both supporters and cynics of field research.

A freak landslide at a remote mine site uncovers a strange machine to Barry's group of paleontology students. Wary of corrupt school officials, his team takes the machine home to study it in secret, reaching only one realistic - and unbelievable - conclusion: It was designed to bridge the time-space continuum. It's a time machine.

Not a time travel story...
Revisado: 04-20-17
This book was a considerable disappointment. One might think that a book featuring a time machine might be a time travel tale. The time machine could have been any valuable object, and the story would be the same. Sadly it is plotted on the basis that graduate students and university faculty can make some monumentally stupid and damaging choices, and that this is humorous rather than juvenile. The main characters could easily have been the cast of Porky's a (very) little grown up. The narrator did a heroic job with very weak material, but could not carry off the book single handed.
The book might be suitable for older teens and younger 20-somethings who have some talent at suspension of belief, not for time travel but for the life choices made.
