Time Travel book recommendations
I have 4 Audible credits to burn before they expire next week.
Have these Split Second Time Frame Somewhere In Time Replay Time and Again From Time to Time 11-22-63 In Times Like These TimeBound Split Second by Douglas E. Richards is great. Time Frame is the follow up sequel Reply was also great by Ken Grimwood Time and Again is one of the best Time Travel stories I’ve read So if anyone has some suggestions I’d love to hear them. Too bad we can’t post this stuff in other, or can we… |
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
Replay is one of my 're-read every few years' books. Love it.
I think I read Split Second and enjoyed it. My most recent really great time travel find is "The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O." And I just found out there's a sequel to it... |
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
You didn't get my suggestions last month?
But seriously, I don't know much from that genre. The Stephen King book you already have is the only thing that came to mind. |
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
You might want to check out Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. I read it about 25 years ago, so I don't know how well it's held up. But I remember really liking it. Also, it's about a pandemic. So it could be more relevant today.

All Our Wrong Todays - Elan Mastai |
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
Dean Koontz's Lightning. I haven't read it in years but a compulsive read well worth the ride.

https://www.amazon.com/Doomsday-Book.../dp/0553562738 It's an oldie but not that long ago I read Asimov's The End of Eternity for the first time and really enjoyed it. Despite all of the time travel stories since then, it still felt fresh to me (and the idea of a non-linear civilization where people hop between different times like someone going to a different country was interesting). And like other Asimov books that I've enjoyed the most, the heart of the book is a mystery story. Since Replay is listed I'm assuming things are opened to non-conventional time travel stories. In a similar vein, I really liked Blake Crouch's Recursion. Speaking of which, I see his next sci-fi thriller (called Upgrade) is supposed to come out this summer! The synopsis sounds familiar (in fact there was a movie with the same title from a couple of years ago with a similar-sounding story), but I'll give Crouch the benefit of the doubt to bring something interesting. The Midnight Library was a recent book I read like that too (a woman magically being able to go to the past to try out alternate life choice searching for one that she liked). While nothing really surprised me I though it was well-done. I got into Peter Clines through his Lovecraftian-horror books (14, The Fold) but I really enjoyed a different type of book he wrote in this period: Paradox Bound. I just thought it was a lot of fun. There are many others that I've read and enjoyed that fit this sub-genre but I'll stop for now. This reminds me I have to read This is How You Lose the Time War (which I have, but I keep not getting around to it ... probably after I finish the current book I'm reading). |
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
I'll recommend Timeline by Michael Crichton.

Re: Time Travel book recommendations
The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers. Mrs Danger was mad when I lent it to her because she wasn't able to go to bed until she finished the book.
Dinosaur Beach by Keith Laumer is one of my favorites. It's sort of a space opera version of time travel. Time opera? |
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
I already have a few of these in my wish list including
The Fold Pardadox Bound All our Wrong Todays All These suggestions all sound interesting. Current wish list. Still going through all the suggestions. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...e9bbfb93a.jpeg |
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
Doomsday Book is 26 hrs
Dodo is 25 hrs. not a deterrent but something to think about. A couple aren’t on Audible. Looks like The Fold and Paradox Bound are possible. The Fold has some tough reviews about the way it closes out the story though. |

Re: Time Travel book recommendations
These are what I ended up with.
Anubis Gate was only $4 so I bought that one. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...c2f3435b7.jpeg |
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
Now if I can ever finish listening to Ready Player 2
I might be able to start one of these. |
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
Highest possible recommendation to Recursion by Blake Crouch. This was stellar time-travel storytelling, epic yet intensely personal.
I also read Paradox Bound and found it interesting in parts but altogether unsatisfying (and kind of silly). |
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
Is Recursion part of a trilogy?
|
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerrold. He also wrote some Trek stuff.

I read this back in 1975 or '76 and thought it was great. Bought a new copy (hardcover) copy a year or two ago and still enjoyed it. It's a quick read (even for a slow reader like me!) but a fun book. I'm going to keep an eye on this thread. Time travel recommendations are always appreciate! |
Re: Time Travel book recommendations
That Man who folded himself book looks really good.
No audible version but looks like the kindle is under $10 so I might grab that one too. |
