Über diesen Titel

Anyone can track down a priceless artefact that's been lost for hundreds of years. Finding one that's been hidden on a parallel Earth . . . now that's a neat trick.

When Neith Salah—a quantum curator charged with traveling to our parallel Earth to rescue precious artefacts—is ordered to save a priceless Faberge Egg, she figures it's just another job. The only problem: she's not sure what the egg looks like. Or where it is. Or when it is.

Enter Julius Strathclyde, a mild-mannered Cambridge professor whose closest brush with death-defying treasure hunts is finding lost coins down the back of the sofa. Not the usual "save the world" type, but when Julius' best friend is murdered while searching for the egg, Neith realizes that this mild-mannered professor is the only person who can help her solve the riddles that will lead her to the egg.

She just has to keep him alive long enough to do it.

He's got the fountain pens. She's got the guns. They'll just have to hope that's enough to keep them ahead of the Russian Mafia, unknown assassins, and perhaps even other quantum curators who want the egg for their own dark purposes . . . and may not be picky about who they have to kill to get it.

The writing is good and the narrators bring the story and characters to life in an interesting and creative way. The plot is fast-paced but also messy and all over the place.

The one element that is truly missing is a reason for the reader to feel invested in the characters and the mission. The mission is to rescue a fabergé egg from unknown villains. The characters are likeable but their motivation for their mission is unclear. The villains’ motivations are even more unclear, seeing how they are fully absent from the book. As a reader, I don’t understand why I should be attached to the characters and the mission.

Overall, the quality is high and I appreciate that.

Great, but missing something

Story is interesting and fun. Narration is well done and nice to listen to. Unfortunately the two just don’t line up. The voices do not match the characters at all and it made it hard to get into the story. Recommend as a short fun read but not my fav.

Doesn’t line up

The female narrator was very hard to listen to (weird melody for words and sentences). The story was entertaining but not very deep.

Did not like the female narrator

Very exciting sci fi story with a cool two person natration would recommend it to my friends for a casual listen

Lovely characters and great plot lines

Really boring story. A bad attempt to copy St. Mary’s. The female speaker has such a bad intonation, I almost fell asleep every time I tried to listen.

If you suffer from insomnia…
