A plot to kill the President of the United States of America involving a time shifting doppelgänger - what’s not to like about that!? It’s pretty full on from the start and doesn’t let up until the frantic and explosive finish. It’s the first time I’ve listened to a story via an episodic podcast, and this in itself was a very different experience for me. I was sometimes frustrated that I had to wait another week for the next episode and occasionally irritated that my enjoyment was interrupted by sponsor adverts but, in truth, neither was a party spoiler. The production quality is amazing – the best I’ve experienced – and the voice actors were spot on too, particularly Thora Birch in the lead role(s). If you enjoy action packed science fiction then I’d urge you to give this one a go.

0% "Episode 1 completed (30 mins & not sure how many episodes the story comprises). Production quality is brilliant, it’s like a Netflix movie without the pictures. Strong start too, with the excellent Thora Birch playing the lead character. Picking this one up via Audible, with it being released one episode at a time."

0% "4 episodes of 9 in. I've never followed a podcast series before so the experience is slightly strange for me - i.e. having to wait a week for the next episode, or store them up & bulk play. I'm impressed by the quality of production and also intrigued by the story. I like, too, the fact that though it's suspenseful it's also slightly tongue in cheek."
