Publisher's summary

When inventor Godfrey Davis arrived at the ministry that Monday morning he had his first experience of the new phenomenon. There was something wrong with the aging android fleet that served the colony. Since when did they ever have names? The president’s visit to his office later that morning gave credence to his earlier experience in the foyer, and somehow his long deceased father now seemed implicated.

As Godfrey’s week spiraled out of control the future of the colony was now in jeopardy, and it was all because of him. He should never have left his latest piece of technology unattended.

If only he could find his father’s secret invention and turn back the clock then maybe he could redeem himself and save their society.

But the past was about to collide with the present and the future now seemed very uncertain indeed.

Zany and unique sci-fi comedy

Light-hearted, creative story. The tech doesn't all make sense, but entertaining antics and engaging performance.

Brazil-like British humor that wears thin

Shoots for droll but doesn't quite hit. Gets tiresome as the story becomes more far-fetched. Not a bad book, but was left dissatisfied.

Random Silly

Definitely a new author giving it a try. Not really worthy of a purchase or listen.

Slow, predictable and out-dated

I love science fiction, both the old stories by legends as Phillip K Dick and the new stories by people like Blake Crouch and Andy Weir. Sadly this story was hard to like, mainly because of the ‘out-dated’ future tech that is described and the repetitive nature of the funny bits. For some reason it all feels inaccurate.
