After the battle in which the men of the destroyer Walker and their Lemurian allies repelled the savage Grik, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy is shocked by the arrival of a strange ship captained by one Commaner Jenks of the New Britain Imperial Navy - an island-nation populated by the descendants of British East Indiamen swept through the rift centuries before.

Too much drama for me
Revisado: 11-17-23
This is the fourth book in the series that I listened to and just stopped midway. It’s just too much made up drama for me. The series has its good moments and bad moments but overall it’s been going downhill since the first book in my opinion.
At this point it just feels no different that a soap opera or a reality tv show. Neither one of which I like so therefore, this book is being closed so to say.
Going to find something else to listen to. This is not for me.
Too much drama.

The long-awaited sequel to Time and Again . Si Morley is back and the world may never be the same. When Time and Again was published in 1970, it immediately developed a loyal following that has grown with each passing year. With this book, Jack Finney returned to the same magical territory and finds Ruben Prien still at work with the Project, still dreaming of altering man's fate by going back in time to adjust events... to interfere, some might say, with destiny.

Too much space filler. But has some really good parts too
Revisado: 10-18-23
After the first book, I was very interested to see how this one would go. I liked the first one and hoped the sequel did not disappoint as they usually do. Well in the first few hours the book was amazing. Jack Finney really writes about time travel on par with Back to the future. But then unfortunately the book did the same thing that he first book did only to an almost comical length. I would say chapters 14-19 can just be omitted all together. Nothing pertaining to the book is in them. Just unrelated information about random things. The first book had some of that but this book took it to a whole new level. The only reason I stayed with it is because I know that there will be a punch line in the end. Boy did it take forever to get there though.
I feel that too much time was wasted on that part of the book. The last few chapters tell a great story but the whole book is wrapped up in the final chapter and really in the last 5 minutes. It leaves you with a sense of being cheated because you stayed with the book babbling for hours only to have punch line be about 5 minutes long.
I wish he spent as much time on the specifics of the last few hours as he did on the specifics of the middle where I almost left the book.
The reader did a great job. I would listen to more of his reads.
If there was another sequel to this book, I would NOT read it. Not after this one. Too much twaddle.
