Time Travelers Never Die Audiobook

" Time travel stories are usually fun, and this one is no exception. McDevitt takes us on a wild ride back and forth through time, pulling some nice tricks along the way. He cleverly skips a whole lot of physics mumbo-jumbo by having someone other than the protagonist invent the time travel machine, so the main character never really knows how or why it works. But it doesn't matter, because the story carries us onward (and backward) at a breakneck pace. "

" Entertaining, but could have been so much better. Lacked a spark. "

" A nice mix of SF, history, and musings on mortality wrapped up in a kind of mundane plot. If the pacing were more on par with McDevitt's other books this would have been 4 stars easily. But the plot isn't really the point -- it seems more than a little Mary-Sueish, but who wouldn't like the chance to go galivanting around the past and meeting famous people? A fun read, not McDevitt's best, but worthy. "

" A black and white morality play that utilizes already widely publicized and published history to explain the moral highground. It becomes overly tedious and severely boring around chapter 8 and continues on a downward slope from there. Reading this book was like watching someone die of old age. The only upside was that it utilized the time travel paradox and didn't resort to the lazy or crazy typical time travel easy fixes, but attempted to challenge itself through the story. "

" I love a good time travel tale and had high hopes for this one, but at least half the book was about McDevitt's imagined conversation with historical figures that have absolutely no bearing on the plot. The Accidental Time Machine by Haldeman is much better. "

" Pretty average time travel story. Entertaining, but nothing particularly spectacular. Follows the main character as he attempts to find his missing father who was traveling through time. He visits several periods in history in which his father had an interest in his attempt to locate him. It has a few twists, but nothing really that surprising. I thought most of the plot was fairly predictable. As far as time travel, it put forth one rule which led to supposed death if broken, but I would have liked to have heard more about how it worked. "

" Looking for a good time travel novel? Pathfinder by O.S. Card. I liked that book better because it gets rid of the paradox problems. "

" excellent beginning, then the story got really boring before even reaching halfway through it. Then it felt as if I was slowly trudging along through really thick "blah". very disappointed. "

" exactly what it claims to be. Nothing deep, but a fun treatment of the idea...a sort of 'what if?' I found myself thinking as though I, too, could go back in time when I spilled granola across the floor. "

" Interesting short stories but could have been better with an actual plot. Too random and disconnected "trips". No climax or conclusion. "

" This was a fun read with some unexpected twists. "

" Eh, I got this book for free from my father which was just about the right price for it. I read the entire thing, so it wasn't so bad as to be put down but overall it was just very... eh. I can't even summon enough feeling for it to come up with a more descriptive review. "

" this was entertaining but long. felt like it should have been 2 books. some of the technical time travel details were not believable, but the writing style was addictive and kept me wanting to hear more. "

" Nice blend of SF and history, but some of the plotting, especially toward the end, was less than convincing. "

" Mcdevitt-lite. Except for a few moments, way easier on the brain than his other books. Also not as thrilling. Also more hopeful than other time-travel I've read. "

" I always love stories that involve time traveling, and this one doesn't disappoint. "

" meh. saw the end from the beginning. "

" Normally I love this kind of book but this one was hard to get into. I just didn't care about the characters. However, I did finish it. "

" Started out good but the story became boring to me. I did finish the book but only because I thought it would get better.. kind of disappointing. "

" A one-off from Jack McDevitt, and not up to his usual standards. "

" Eh, I got this book for free from my father which was just about the right price for it. I read the entire thing, so it wasn't so bad as to be put down but overall it was just very... eh. I can't even summon enough feeling for it to come up with a more descriptive review. "

" This book all the more confused me on TT. "
