Summary
Reality is sometimes not what it appears to be.
Dr. Albert Snowden just wanted to be there for his niece, Emily, after the loss of her father. Being abducted by aliens, and then rescued by a mysterious being known as Evaran, has made that difficult. Despite their situation, they try to make the best of it while traveling through space, time, and beyond with Evaran and V, Evaran's trusty mobile artificial intelligence. With the use of Evaran's time-traveling ship, the Torvatta, they will try to maintain timeline integrity while dealing with the challenges that brings.
This box set contains the first three books in the Evaran Chronicles. If you like science fiction, time travel, technology, and adventure with a space opera bent, then this series is for you.

Doctor who?
Evaran travels through space and time correcting faults in the timelines. Joined by the professor and Emily this audiobook collects their first 3 adventures together for a binge worthy listen.
Michael Pauley handles the voices of all the characters met throughout the universe very well.
This audiobook was given to me free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review.

Entertaining time travel collection
At first glance, a mysterious alien allowing a couple of humans to accompany him on his time machine through a series of crazy adventures sounds rather like Doctor Who, but a lot of the interactions throughout these books serves to put some distance between them and that iconic series.
While the titular hero, Evaran, shares a number of traits with the Doctor, he also tends to indulge in actual violence more often when the situation requires it and throughout the book there is more use of time travel mechanics to deal with an issue e.g. going back a few years so that the people you met had time to discuss something and reach a decision in time for them to be of help. The companions of Evaran are Dr Snowden and his niece Emily and throughout these books they both developed as characters far more than Evaran who remained the mysterious super alien throughout.
The narrator of this book nicely enhanced the stories, giving a strong performance for all the main characters, ensuring they were all sufficiently distinctive.
Overall, these were an enjoyable set of books and I would be interested in reading more of their adventures in the future.

Brilliant space and time travel stories
I purchased the box set after seeing an ad on social media and I'm not disappointed. I've always been a Dr Who fan but I much prefer Evaran, his spaceship/Time machine the Torvatta, V his AI robot and his friends. The stories are great and can be fast paced with constant action. This is helped by the Narrator who does an excellent job telling the stories and makes it easy to distinguish the characters apart with his voices. I'm enjoying book 4 just now and I'm looking forward to the rest of this series. Would make a great TV show.

An epic immersive Sci Fi series!
I cannot say enough good things about this book series.
It is based on a premise of time travel ship that is controlled by a mysterious alien being whose origins are unknown.
The main characters are wonderful and by the end of the 3 books they feel like they are family and you know them as they grow so much throughout the series.
The range of story arcs is fantastic with some mystery style arcs and plenty of action arcs.
The narration is really good with all characters having distinct voices. There is some cross over for background characters but after 3 books that is bound to happen a little bit. There is no confusion when listening as to who is speaking.
I love the intricacies of the alien cultures and species interplay which gives an added depth to the whole series. All of which is supported by the performance Michael Pauley brings alive Adair Hart's immersive and well written world.

Slow burn turns into fireworks!
I really struggled with the initial hour or 2 of the story, but once things started to ramp up, I was hooked! Glad I listened to it!
Thank you to Adair, for the gift.

Good but basically a copy of the Dr Who series
Right from the off this book seemed very familiar to me. Its a tale about an enigmatic alien that travels through time and space assisting individuals who have become victims to some unfortunate events. The main character possesses a marvelous ship that can travel through time and space and is magically bigger of the inside than the outside. Hang on, wait a minute, there's something wrong here, this all seems very familiar ? Oh, I know its Dr Who !
The trilogy was entertaining, and good value, but I think I'll bail on the series and seek something original to listen to

Excellent, what more needs to be said.
These books by Adair Hart are breath of fresh air to the genera. Good story line and strong character development.
I have only read 2 of the 3 books in the 3 book offer but am highly delighted with the series so far. In fact so delighted I have ordered the remaining 4 books in the series and the prequel .
The main character Evaran is a bit of an enigma and by the end of book two I feel there are dark things in his past yet to be discovered. He is accompanied by two humans (Dr. Albert Snowden and his niece, Emily) and his robot sidekick "V".
The story starts with Dr. Snowden and Emily being awoken on a space ship by Evaran. Evaran explains that they and two other humans, have been kidnapped by alien specimen hunters. and so the story begins.
They have to get off the ship, which is infested with other specimens and an invading armed force.
Not everyone makes it off alive .
Book two introduces another human race "the Fadorian". Somehow a timeline has been altered and an ancient artifact is not where it should be. So Evaran sets off with Dr.Snowden, Emily, "V" and some other characters they pick up for the trip. Traveling through time and space to collect 3 parts of the ancient artifact "the Arkaron" to increase the standing of the Fadorian people and repair the timeline.
However it turns out that changes in the past by Evaran had an unforeseen effect in the present and a whole race has been lost. The sole survivor of the race is now hunting Evaran, Dr.Snowden, Emily and "V" and getting bounty hunters to apprehend them.
And so the story continue ....

What a fantastic collection!
I was provided with a free copy of this audiobook in return for an honest review.
As with some of the other audiobooks I've had recently, this was written by an author I haven't read or listened to before. The ideas and writing are very well done and I was hooked into the characters and the story in minutes rather than hours.
As this is a three book collection I don't want to give away information that will spoil the experience for those who intend to buy this book. The characters are all sympathetic and you can relate to them easily, the action is often non stop and so rapid you have to pay attention carefully.
The first book is a lot shorter than the other two in the collection, it is almost as if the author testing the characters first before writing a note complex and time consuming adventure.
However, just because it is shorter does not mean that it lacks in quality or in depth. The main thing it does is make you want to listen to the next instalment immediately to find out what happens next.
The technology aspects can be baffling, the acronyms used can make you wonder what the author is talking about, but it doesn't make any difference to the story, and you do get an explanation of the technology at the beginning of the second and third books. Also, if you're anything like me, it only makes you more curious to find out what they are and what they do.
I loved this collection, the narrator was brilliant, making each of the different species you listen to have their own distinctive style and tone and Evaran himself is done in a very skilful manner.
I'm looking for the next book in the series as soon as I finish this review. It will be my next purchase.

A kid's book with F-bombs.
A fun game to play is 'spot the movie plot', which occurs several times when the author runs out of ways to flog the time travel horse. It's an interesting enough tale, but padded out with tedium and spread over 28 hours...? I wish I had my own time machine to get those hours back! It's so very repetitive and lacking vocabulary; the sheer number of 'lumps in throats', 'misted eyes', or 'half-smiles' will grate your ears by book 2. And the delivery is quite dire, although the narrator definitely has 'emotionless quasi-autistic alien' in the bag...
