Anyone can track down a priceless artefact that's been lost for hundreds of years. Finding one that's been hidden on a parallel Earth . . . now that's a neat trick.

When Neith Salah—a quantum curator charged with traveling to our parallel Earth to rescue precious artefacts—is ordered to save a priceless Faberge Egg, she figures it's just another job. The only problem: she's not sure what the egg looks like. Or where it is. Or when it is.

Enter Julius Strathclyde, a mild-mannered Cambridge professor whose closest brush with death-defying treasure hunts is finding lost coins down the back of the sofa. Not the usual "save the world" type, but when Julius' best friend is murdered while searching for the egg, Neith realizes that this mild-mannered professor is the only person who can help her solve the riddles that will lead her to the egg.

She just has to keep him alive long enough to do it.

He's got the fountain pens. She's got the guns. They'll just have to hope that's enough to keep them ahead of the Russian Mafia, unknown assassins, and perhaps even other quantum curators who want the egg for their own dark purposes . . . and may not be picky about who they have to kill to get it.

For the first 2 hours of this book I was wondering why I was still listening. But then things fell into place with lots of intrigue and character development. Initially I did not like the choice of female narrator but by the end of the book I thought she was a good choice. Definitely need to read the next book now.

Worth sticking with

Did not like the female voice talent’s narration of this book. Had a weird cadence and was a bit singsong. Liked the story enough to bear with it.

The male narrator sounded better.

Liked the story but narration could be better

I didn’t care for the narrators. Especially the woman. She drew out her words too much.

Intriguing ideas.

I love Jodi Taylor's "Chronicles of St. Mary's" books, so I thought this might be another series I would enjoy. I was really disappointed, though, that the protagonist's humor and charisma are completely lost because the narrator (or director?) chose to voice her with an over-the-top posh, "sexy" accent. I would love to listen to the rest of the series, but I could barely get through this book, hating the narration so much. (It's a tribute to the story that it kept me engaged enough to get to the end.) One other smaller issue I had: it made me angry that the author has Neith, as team leader, hold a team meeting in her bathroom while she's taking a bath after a mission. I know the scene was supposed to demonstrate that the team's culture is more sexually progressive than current society's, but the scene felt contrived and completely inappropriate, undermining Neith's leadership skills and intelligence. Booo.

Loved the story. Hated the narration.

I like the story, but whose idea was it to make the narration so boring? bad direction. Glad to give it another go if you re-do the narration.

good story, terrible narration

I listened to this while cleaning and doing household chores and I liked it. It’s got some of my favorite elements: parallel worlds, time travel, heists, puzzles, and some imaginative history.

The female narrators voice is a bit formal and overall the narration sometimes didn’t feel like a good fit.

Overall it was entertaining but I’m wavering on whether I get the next book in the series, I’m not super attached to any of the characters and I wish there was more world building. There’s barely any exploration into Alpha Earth while Beta Earth is our current reality.

Still a good story and I don’t regret the listen! Good if you are looking for something to listen to while doing other things, not too complicated but not overly predictable either.

Decent start to a series, narration fine

It's so hard to listen to this strange speaking rhythm of the narrator. It would be better if she just spoke normally. Quick staccato bursts of a sentence or two, pause, followed by the next burst of another sentence or two, pause, and then again. On top of that some weird posh manner of speaking. It's so abnormal I can't stand it. I can't focus on the story. It might be good, but it's hard to tell. I'll try to read the book.

Strange abrupt phony posh narration

The story had interesting characters but moved at a snails pace. Got a little too hung up on being posh and self important. Gave up with about 4 hours to go.

Boring. Could not finish this story.
