Nathan, thanks for an interesting story. You handled the changes in timeframe really well. It was easy to keep track, and keep listening. This one was much better paced than Echoes (another interesting story concept). I do wish the characters each had a more unique "voice". It wasn't a real distraction with you narrating, but sometimes the language didn't quite mesh with the person. In any case, I did enjoy the story and thank you for presenting your work in this format.By: Jeff
Good book. Well worth a listen. Enjoying it very much! The author does well with the reading, but it would be better as an audio-drama. Keep up the good work! J~
