Summary
Harry August is on his deathbed. Again. No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes. Until now. As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside.
'I nearly missed you, Doctor August,' she says. 'I need to send a message.' This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.

A fantastic book, with magnificent narration!
This hi-concept story is beautifully told, easily-imaginable and totally believable.
The narration is perfect - Peter Kenny did an amazing job.
The kind of book you wish would go on forever lol

Great twist on Time Travel
This is a great story and a fantastic twist on your typical Time Travel story. The narration isn't the best but you get used to it quickly. Worth a listen.

Slow burner but worth the wait!
At times I thought about moving on from this book, but I am so glad I didn't! The last third of the story was rivetting!!

Quite possibly the best book I've ever read
I was gripped the entire way through this book. The performance of the reader was fantastic and the storyline completely unique. I'd recommended this to anyone and everyone. Fantastic

Utterly exquisite
A simple idea--that some people, when they die, live again, reborn at the same moment but with all their memories and experiences intact--followed through thoroughly and to great satisfaction. Harry August is an engaging, affable character, and a pleasure to listen to.
The narration is superb, clear and engaging.
Recommended without hesitation on every axis.
