Summary
“Take any simple man and rapidly make him exceptional. Strong, intelligent, quick and effective. Remove all his fears and cowardice, replace them with bravery and confidence. In short, create a superman from any stock. We believe the brain is capable of this transition by means of applied technology.”
The tantalising brief of a secret government project from the Cold War era. But, it can’t be real, can it?
Toby Steele is a typical night shift tech support guy, working alone, mostly in peace, until something strange happens on the night of the 22nd of February, 2022.
At 22:22:22—One moment that changes his life, forever.
How will he deal with the new skills he’s acquired, and what do they mean for his future? What secrets has a one-hundred-year-old lady in a care home kept from the world for more than half a century?
What do Enigma and Bletchley Park have to do with anything? And can Toby unravel the secret cyphers and mysteries to find a missing girl?

An entertaining premise
A good plot, characters that feel real. ok, there are holes in the plot, but none that cause upset.
Well-narrated, well-written

Decent concept
A good book with a bit of a slow start so worth persevering. The narrator grows on you but not until later on when he adapted his voice for different characters a bit more. Initially he plays it as an introverted weirdo but he does do things (even before the main issue – not giving anything away) that means he is not really the dull boring introverted person he paints.
I like the way the story builds and my only criticism is a very quick ending – but then again at least its not dragged out.

Great what if 'superhero' story
“22:22:22” is a captivating listen, brilliantly narrated by Mark Rice-Oxley. It’s a pleasure to hear and a standout addition to Adam Eccles’ engaging works. Highly recommended for its thrilling narrative and exceptional storytelling!

Great ideas for a story
I started listening to this book and was a bit unsure for the first 5 minutes. After that I couldn't stop listening, I've read many sci fi stories and the ideas behind this are quite new and very interesting. Also, as a side note, Adam Eccles does a podcast called middle raged which I enjoy as well. Great read and hopefully it will be a series of books going forward.

A wonderful read though felt more like a short story
Great premise. A very enjoyable read. However the final scene felt hurried. The book ended just a bit too abruptly with an underwhelming resolution to the story arc. I very much enjoyed it though felt the book lacked any concluding narrative from our protagonist or any main supporting character.
Bottom line - Whilst the ending has scope for improvement, its a great read. Perhaps this will all be fleshed out more in a future Toby Steele book.

Very enjoyable
This is the 3 book I’ve listened to by the author. I’ll certainly be listening to any future ones too. Hopefully this one might even be the start of a series

Really good, but...
Really good, but the ending had so much potential to be a cliffhanger, instead it wraps up. Disappointed there isn't a sequel or series. Would have been a great idea!

I've been waiting for this book!
I listened to System Restored and Need a Little Time both written by Adam Eccles and narrated by Mark Rice-Oxley. It's so hard to find Really good Time Travel books out there and those two books were brilliant! I loved them so much I actually looked up the narrator and emailed him to say how much I loved them and to ask when the next one would be out. 22:22:22 didn't disappoint me. Turns out Mark Rice-Oxley is an actor and it shows. He takes you on a journey and you end up liking the main character so much it feels like you're old friends. I wish Adam Eccles would keep doing these books and Mark would keep narrating them. I'm going to have to listen to them again. I highly HIGHLY recommend this book and System Restored and Need a Little Time and anything narrated by Mr. Rice-Oxley.

Loved it!
This is my third Adam Eccles book and not disappointed! I love this genre of books even though I really dislike sci-fi as a whole! This has so many elements which make it an hugely enjoyable listen; mystery, suspense, romantic interest, humor and emotion. A great story and well worth a listen - can’t wait for the fourth Eccles book!
