About this listen

The Future of Another Timeline meets The Bone Clocks in this dazzling piece of time-travel climate fiction.

Recruited by the mysterious Project Kairos to change history and save the future from ecological disaster, Echo and Hazel are transported through time to opposite worlds. Echo works as a healer’s assistant in Ancient Athens, embroiled in dangerous politics and wild philosophy. Hazel is the last human alive, in a laboratory on a polluted island with nothing but tiny robots and an untrustworthy AI for company.

Both women suffer from amnesia, but when they fall asleep, their consciousnesses transcend time and they meet in their dreams. Together, they start to uncover their past – but soon discover the past threatens humanity’s survival.

If Echo and Hazel have a chance of changing the future, they must remember to forget…


THE FOREST ON THE EDGE OF TIME is a novel about family and duty and the worlds we try to save along the way.

This story was wonderful, the three parallel plotlines worked really well. I especially liked Echo and her adventures in ancient Greece. The journey was definitely worth it, with the stories coming together in a great ending.

All three narrators were great, bringing life to the three characters while being impressively complimentary I'm how they worked together.

a great multi threaded story with a satisfying conclusion
