About this listen

Jason Thanou of the Temporal Regulatory Authority had about had it with nursemaiding parties of ivory-tower academics through Earth's blood-drenched history, keeping them alive as they sought evidence for their pet theories. Of course, when one of the ivory-tower academics looked like Doctor Deirdre Sadaka-Ramirez, one last expedition didn't look like such a bad idea after all...

Besides, there was something to be said for witnessing the Santorini explosion of 1628 BC - the most cataclysmic natural disaster of human history, and the source of much of the mythology of Jason's own Greek ancestors. But once Jason and his companions were in the Aegean Bronze Age, unable to return to their own 24th-century time until a predetermined instant, they would find that there was more to those old legends of gods and heroes than anyone had imagined. For the gods were very real-horribly so. And dealing with them took very real heroes.

Spoiler alert!

The concept of the book felt very fresh and unique. Its multiplicity of genres packs a distinctive punch for each type of reader.
Making the Greek Gods as a form of alien entity with advanced technology was super interesting and novel. I just wish there was a little more elaboration on it. I squealed when the mask of Agamemnon was referred to and wish that there had been more tie in with Greek myths than just the barest of references used.
The narration was well-done! Refreshingly to hear something that wasn’t a Romance from this narrator! IYKYK! 🤭
I enjoyed the book, but also thought that it had some plot inconsistencies and lacked character development of any sort.. it felt rushed and cursory… if not for these, the book could have been a best seller of epic proportions.

Very unique take on Greek mythology
