Publisher's summary

Major Robert Dalton swallowed involuntarily. After his crash, he vowed he would never fly again. Not only was he forced to fly again, now he would be flying into the past. It was a new plane was designed to travel through time. The mission was going to fail. He knew that. It was more than a premonition. His assignment: Kill Hitler. Stop the Holocaust before it starts. No one could foresee the consequences of changing the time-line. Would he destroy everything and everyone in the process?

A chance to change history- what could go wrong?

Buried in some archives they find the plans to a time machine and proof it worked. What do you do?... build it and see if you can make it work again, and attempt to alter history. What can go wrong, right? Major Dalton had no intents on being the pilot but, as the first mission plan is laid out, it is determined he’s the best man for the job. Reluctantly, he joins his copilot and they go back in time with the intent of stopping Hitler. Dalton has already seen proof and figured out that this won’t work, yet, he continues on with the plan.

I enjoyed this book and the theories about time travel. The characters were likeable. The story covers both present day and the events that occur in the past. Once Dalton confirmed his mission was a bust, he did not take long inserting himself into the new time. Personally, I think he was incautious. The book has a finality to it, but also could be expanded upon. I wonder if there is a book 3?

The narrator did a pretty good job reading this book, however, the narrating speed is slow. Listening at 1.25x speed makes it a more comfortable listen. His voices are pleasant to listen to and the female voices are not squeaky, or high pitched, however, many of the voices are similar. Despite this, I did not find this made listening to the book difficult. His intake of breath while narrating is quite noticeable which made it even more obvious that I was listening to a book being read to me.

There are no explicit scenes sex or excessive violence or swearing.

Great second book on series

Another great book in the series. While I did enjoy book one a bit more I still liked this one a lot. I really love time travel books. The whole would you go back & kill Hitler thing has been done before but it was still very good. I can only hope there is a book 3.

Good clean story & great narration.

What if time changes?

I was drawn to this story because I enjoy time travel stories. Initially, it starts out with a military focus, finding out about the possibility of a time machine and the schematics to build it. We meet the characters and build the story. Questions arise about changing time. What happens if a major historical event is changed somehow, especially if that event caused extreme pain and suffering? Will changing the event make things better? How will it impact the now?

I found the story a bit dry at the beginning, but it picked up the pace about a third of the way. Once engaged, I wanted to know what happened and was easily drawn back to the story.

The narrator was a bit monotone and did not really create character voices; however, that might have been difficult with most of them being soldiers many from the same area and dialect.

If you enjoy time travel stories, this one may appeal to you, especially if you like to consider the possibilities that mucking around in time could create. I received this audiobook, at my request, in exchange for an honest review.

A time travel book to fall in love with!

The voice kept putting me to sleep, but I jump back a bit to hear it again! It’s different than other time travel stories I’ve heard, and I loved it! I love quirky ends too!!!

it is a story

it might just be the reader, but this work doesn't have nice flow it's a choppy piece. and the treble on the recording forced me to adjust the signal on the EQ so it wasn't so screechy

Getting better

This second book in the series is an improvement over the first. Not that the first was bad...just this one is much stronger. We have now gone from a time-travel accident to people trying to travel in time on purpose. Some of the ideas are exactly what you would expect from such a premise, but there are enough new ideas to keep it interesting. At times it felt like the story moved too quickly, glossing over things where I wanted to know more. The dialog seemed a little better than the first...unnatural speaking was not as apparent.

Once again, the narration really seemed to drag, but it was nothing that couldn't be fixed by Audible's playback speed control. Once I had the right speed, I really did not notice the narrator.

I was given a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for a fair review, which I have voluntarily left here.

I love time travel stories

Nobody know the repercussions of possible time travel.. if you make a change in a historic persons life, how much change would occur.

With A Hole In Time, this is given.. A pair are sent back in time to do away with Hitler as a young child. They had an opportunity to see what actually happens with something changes.

I found the beginning of this book very slow and I put it down for a bit. But I started again, and so glad I did.. I love time travel books and this one did not disappoint as I got into it. The narrater was a little off, he sounded like he was reading the book, but I did get use to it.

I'd like to listen to the rest of this series..

Not gonna lie, this was Meh!

This book had a very interesting premise. Major Robert Dalton is assigned to take a new time travelling plane and fly it back to 1942 to kill Hitler, thus preventing the holocaust and WWII. However, something goes wrong and Dalton winds up in the late 1890's and the plane is too damaged to fly again, so he must destroy it and he is stuck in the past.

The first half of the book was rather boring and slow. It wasn't until Dalton became trapped in the past that the story, now his story of how he adapts to his situation and makes a new life for himself, was the good part. Oddly enough, Dalton suspected this would happen due to a clue found in a home where a man named Dalton had lived and died. Turns out the Dalton's were one and the same.

There was no character development in the first half, the military guys were all just cardboard cutouts and the narrator was slow and boring. He got better, along with the story, in the second half, although he was still slow.

I have not read or listened to the first book in this series, and don't know if I will go back or look for any more by Graham.

It's not terrible, but it's not great, either. I think it really could have been maybe if Dalton had actually arrived in 1942 Germany and tried to carry out that mission. Instead, the story bypasses the mission to trap Dalton even earlier in time.
A real shame the author did not follow through on the story.

TERRIBLE AUDIO!!!

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I will admit that I came into this series on this book (#2), so don't have the background info I would have gotten from book 1. That being said, I just don't think that would have helped me get into the story more. The narration is awful. Not because of his speaking voice, the sound quality is abysmal. There was this echoing, ringing noise (like Tinnitus is described) that grated on my ears. I didn't last more than 15 minutes into the book before I had to turn it off. And that's with me trying on 2 different sets of headphones and my truck's speaker system. Do some audio clean up and I'd be willing to give this another chance, but NOT before.

I love this series

I absolutely loved the first book in the series and couldn't wait to listen to the second. This one is a good story, too, a great continuation of the first story; however, I enjoyed the first one a tad more. The narration is okay, not great, a bit stilted...as it was with the first book.
