Book 4 of The Joseph Bridgeman Time Travel Series picks up shortly after the events of Book 3. The books are intended to be listened to as a series, but there is sufficient backstory in each novel to allow for thrilling standalone listens.
In this installment, Joe is now an official member of the Continuum, an organization that manages a group of time travellers that fulfill missions to heal the past for a greater future. When a rare antique focus object is stolen and put up for sale at a billionaire’s auction, Joe is assigned to retrieve it. Unfortunately, a simple auction quickly becomes dangerous, and Joe is thrust into a new time-travel mission in 8th-century China. Joe must not only complete this new mission but also unravel the mystery of a secretive organization that is selling the experience of time travel to millions. After a tumultuous mission in China, Joe returns to the present with some very difficult choices to make and chances to risk it all to save his relationship with Alexia. This leads to an even more dangerous mission in San Francisco, and Joe is tested like never before.
Each of the books in this series is incredibly unique and engaging. In this fourth book, Joe makes new allies and continues to push the limits of his time-travel abilities. The storyline is more complex than the previous installments, as the novel incorporates two major missions and more developed personal and relationship elements. The continuum also discusses complex time-travel ideas that require full attention from the listeners to fully grasp what they are hearing.
Narrator Ray Porter returns with another captivating performance, maintaining a high level of excitement and tension throughout the entire listen. This is the last of the books in the series currently released, but with talks of a film adaptation and future books coming in the near future, the potential of what this series could become seems limitless! If you are looking for a time-travel story that has elements of romance, fantasy, and mystery, don’t hesitate to give any of the books in this series a listen!
