Editorial reviews

"Race against time" takes on a new meaning in this debut thriller from Christopher Ride. Time is unraveling, moving faster and faster, and a traveler from the future is sent to the present to fix it. Helena, a woman from the present day finds she has a psychic connection to this traveler, entangling her in the ensuing adventure with stops at some of the world's most interesting archaeological sites and the secrets they contain. With a sound basis in theoretical physics, natural phenomena, and the ancient world this audiobook will please fans of sci-fi, historical mystery, and action. Musician and voice actor Sean Mangan's deep-voiced lyrical performance is pensive, relishing the descriptive style and explanatory asides.

Publisher's Summary

Fans of Dan Brown, Michael Crichton, and Clive Cussler will love this energetic debut novel.

This fast-paced debut novel from the next big voice in Australian thrillers is a page-turner like no other.

Wilson Dowling is sent from the future to the present day to address the "Schumann Frequency", which has the power to slow the speed of time.

Clues buried deep within the Dead Sea Scrolls have made this Dowling's mission - he must open three energy portals hidden within the most famous archaeological sites on Earth. Wilson has to move quickly as forces of opposition mount against him, forces which threaten to unravel his mission and decide the fate of the entire planet.

An adventure not only through time and humanity, The Schumann Frequency races through various corners of the globe from the Mayan ruins in Mexico, to the Giza Pyramids in Egypt and finally Stonehenge for the book's thrilling climax. Christopher Ride takes you on a gripping journey that will keep you riveted until the very last page.

Why Sean Mangan??

Sean Mangan has never been a reader I’ve enjoyed but wow, this is really bad. And it’s completely destroyed this story, I just can’t listen anymore!

He has his normal boring style tones but worse there’s a cadence and tonality that repeats very literally every single sentence no matter what that text is. And that’s not an exaggeration, I’m halfway through listening and it’s playing as I write this and yep, the same repeating pattern every sentence without fail.

It gets worse, wait till you hear dialogue from different characters. He just says it, doesn’t even punctuate properly. It sounds like when someone is doing a comedy routine impersonating a bad actor and going over the top when doing it.

It’s terrible and I have to return this book, won’t ever get anything again read by this reader.
