'Are you happy in your life?' Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious. Before he wakes to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. Before the man he's never met smiles down at him and says, 'Welcome back, my friend.' In this world he's woken up to, Jason's life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason is not an ordinary college physics professor but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible.

Amazing and Brilliant, thought provoking
Reviewed: 24-02-23
I chose this book on a whim and have been totally enthralled in the story what a amazing and thought-provoking story is to bring an idea like that into reality. This is a very scary concept and just opens up the possibilities of how brilliant and dangerous science can be left in the hands of human decision as we are all varied in our thoughts and choices, so much so the decisions we make to me in the difference between happiness sadness life and death I absolutely loved it. More like this please I love the mind it’s come from and can’t wait to read more from this author.

Fascinating and heartfelt
Reviewed: 15-02-23
I always thoroughly enjoy learning facts behind the careers in this nature and due to some of the cases involved in the job memories of this incident and this made it a greater interest because of the familiarity.
This is a profession that has always fascinated but many I think it would find greatly difficult to undertake due to the nature of its requirements, we need strong people like this but have to remember that those people are fragile in themselves.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Another great story by Andy Weir
Reviewed: 28-11-22
If you have listened to any previous Andy Weir audio books you will be aware of the great detail that he goes to technical data and circumstances to set the stage. This also applies to the detail of the characters and what makes the stories so interesting and gripping and especially considering the vulnerability in their environments, this is why I love them so much. Please keep them coming!!

I love the fact that you’ve got a real insight into the real people behind the job with all of its highs and lows. Thank you Ollie, I have a friend who is very dear to me and also ex-royal Marine and I have lived with him through some of the downs and the ups who has lived and experienced some of the things you had mentioned and it has helped me understand some of the problems he’s had to deal with. Hi myself are X RN CD and also have too suffered with mental health so thank you again for mentioning that as you pointed out it is frowned upon to admit weakness. Keep up the good work and hope to hear more from you, no graces just the man from heart and soul showing what can be done if you put your mind to it.
