About this listen

A stunningly unique take on time travel. The 27th bestselling Kindle book of 2017—out of almost 6 million titles!

What if you found a way to send something back in time? But not weeks, days, or even minutes back. What if you could only send something back a fraction of a second? Would this be of any use? You wouldn't have nearly enough time to right a wrong, change an event, or win a lottery.

Nathan Wexler is a brilliant physicist who thinks he's found a way to send matter a split second back into the past. But before he can even confirm his findings, he and his wife-to-be, Jenna Morrison, find themselves in a battle for their very lives. Because while time travel to an instant earlier seems useless, Jenna comes to learn that no capability in history has ever been more profound or far-reaching.

Now, as Jenna fights to defeat the powerful forces arrayed against her, nothing less than the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. . .

Split Second is a roller-coaster ride of a thriller, one that will have readers pondering the nature of time, and of reality, long after they've read the last page

A Really unique perspective on time. It allowed me to understand time on a new plain... all the while enjoying an action packed novel.
A bit violent. I don't usually like violent novels but it gives it a serious feel as a result.

I loved this book

I mostly enjoyed listening to this book, but in some parts I felt a bit as I was listening to a kids adventure story.
Good science ideas and concepts, but could use better dialogues

Good Ideas, Too Many Cliches

Took some time to get into.
It IS sci-fi but less science than chase escape chase etc.
Some unlikely scenarios especially where emotions are concerned. Lots of science research but not a lot of psychological research I’d say.
The end very clever and worth waiting for.
Sort of a book I wanted to like more.
Will try another.
