Summary
Anyone can track down a priceless artefact that's been lost for hundreds of years. Finding one that's been hidden on a parallel Earth . . . now that's a neat trick.
When Neith Salah—a quantum curator charged with traveling to our parallel Earth to rescue precious artefacts—is ordered to save a priceless Faberge Egg, she figures it's just another job. The only problem: she's not sure what the egg looks like. Or where it is. Or when it is.
Enter Julius Strathclyde, a mild-mannered Cambridge professor whose closest brush with death-defying treasure hunts is finding lost coins down the back of the sofa. Not the usual "save the world" type, but when Julius' best friend is murdered while searching for the egg, Neith realizes that this mild-mannered professor is the only person who can help her solve the riddles that will lead her to the egg.
She just has to keep him alive long enough to do it.
He's got the fountain pens. She's got the guns. They'll just have to hope that's enough to keep them ahead of the Russian Mafia, unknown assassins, and perhaps even other quantum curators who want the egg for their own dark purposes . . . and may not be picky about who they have to kill to get it.

narrators just not right
the story was really good but the narrators sound like they are reading as an aloof 1920s spy, the book deserves more than this, the characters needed a bit more depth read out of their lines

great story, looking forward to the next
Lucy Raynor is a great narrator and makes for an enjoyable listen of this great story. The male narrator is harder to settle into, but you do eventually.
looking forward to the next book in this series.

Disappointing narration
I’m a St Mary’s addict and yes, I can see similarities here - there will always be writers who latch on to the successful themes of others - but I was happy to go with that….until I heard the narrators.
Lucy Raynor makes everything sound like a garden party, with her upper-crust and soft-toned voice. There’s no fire in it, even when she’s walking naked along the bottom of a lake - don’t ask!
Alex Wyndham must have the most boring intonation on the planet. Every sentence sounds the same and, after 20 minutes I found my mind wandering.
It’s a shame, as the plot idea is interesting, but Jodi Taylor and her reader Zara Ramm do it so much better! Oh, by the way, I think the reviewer who said St Mary’s was depressing is muddling up the two series!!

A brilliant mix of history as we know it and what could have happened, with intrigue & humourfor good measure
Loved listening to both fabulous narrators. The world the author has created is intriguing as are the characters and chemistry between them. Can’t wait to listen to the next one!!

Enjoyed, bought the next one before finishing this
I enjoyed it, I can see the comparison between this and St Mary’s, but they must be quite different as I liked this and didn’t like St Mary’s, (I found it quite depressing).
It’s well narrated, I do like Alex Wyndham and the female isn’t bad either.
It’s kept my attention, I haven’t been bored and i have bought the next one to start straight away.

Great story, dire narration
I love the idea of this story, time travellers saving historic artefacts. The narration just made this difficult to listen to. I am not sure why they read things as though they were repeating the same rhythm each sentence, over and over, they didn’t act this story out well and it just ruined it for me. You just don’t read like that, or even talk like that, no idea why it had to be so lilting for the female role and the male role always emphasising the last word of every sentence no matter what the context. I may just buy the kindle version of the next book as I don’t think I can listen to those voices again, at least not without a long break. Shame, think I’ve been spoiled by the chronicles of st Mary’s narration, all were so amazingly well narrated that you felt like you were living the stories. Why is it so hard to find a good narrator?!

The voices ruined this for me.
When I read the reviews, this seemed like a story I would enjoy. The style of reading was so distracting, I can’t really even remember what happened in the book. I think it must have been read by an AI instructed to read in the style of someone reading the shipping forecast as a bedtime story for a toddler. I persevered until the end, because I’d paid for it. I’ll listen to samples before buying more.

Awful narration
I’m sorry, I did persist for a while but the strange stressing of words in a sentence was too much like the auto generated narration on some videos. I had to stop.
