Science, Spying and Spiritual Thought

On the surface an edge of your seat spies chasing science secrets thriller. But also a look at the meaning of good and evil

Great listen - couldn’t stop

Narration and story were great, you fall in love with the characters.

I put this one off for a while and I’m really glad I came back to it.

Great story, not a big fan of the ending though...

Great story, not a big fan of the ending though - just didn't seem like enough closure. Narrator did a great job.

Could not put this book down

This book kept me engaged from the beginning to the end. Felt deeply connected to the characters and loved the visual descriptions of the different places described. I’ve just finished the Time Quintet — this book is quite different and in some ways my favorite by L’Engle so far. Now onto the next book in the series!

L’engle is timeless

It started with the wrinkle in time, but Ive found that there is never a disappointment in Madeline L’engles writing. I wish she was still alive. Love would to go visit her and talk life.
