THE ACCIDENTAL TIME MACHINE

An MIT researcher manages to build a time machine in his basement one evening after his girlfriend dumps him for another man. Haldeman's homage to H.G. Wells's classic is equally visionary and filled with incredible plot twists, the most unusual of which is that Fuller discovers his time machine only goes into the future. Narrator Kevin Free reads in a voice that makes Fuller an average guy listeners can relate to despite his remarkable job. Free takes listeners to futuristic worlds, each as dangerous and foreboding as the last, and never sounds disconnected from the story. A fun adventure.
