Days of Future Past: 3 Book Series

By: John Van Stry

Narrated by: Doug Tisdale Jr.

From book 1: Paul's been having a bad day, perhaps one of the worst days he's ever had. And now into the middle of all this, his instructor just got drafted by some mystical goddess to help save a world.

As for Paul? Well, he's really not supposed to be there, and if he thought he was having a bad day before all of this, it just got worse, a lot worse. He's now on a one way trip, forced to help a man who despises him while at the mercy of the world's biggest trickster.

From book 2: Coyote has a new task for Paul, one that involves him traveling north hundreds of miles over the post-apocalyptic landscape of California, the place that Paul once called home.

Thankfully, Sarah and Heather have both decided to go with him and between Heather's shooting skills and Sarah's magical ones; Paul thinks he might just live through whatever scheme Coyote has enlisted him in. If he can live through telling the girls just what Coyote's got him carrying in his pack now of course.

At least he's done with Riggs and hopefully won't have to deal with him ever again, nothing could be worse than that after all!

From book 3: Coyote has one final task for Paul, the one that is the whole reason Coyote shanghaied him here in the first place. But what can a single man, without the gifts and benefits of the gods, do against a creature that has ruled in the wastelands for hundreds of years? Besides, destroying Aybem is supposed to be Riggs' job! So just why does Coyote need him to go there too? While it's true that Riggs has finally earned Paul's grudging respect, Paul has no desire to suffer the pain that his nemesis' plans often cause him. And even if he is successful, is this really the last task that Coyote wants of Paul? Or could the trickster god have just a few more things that he needs to have done?

I liked it

I would listen to it again, no complaints about the story or narrator. Apparently there's a minimum word count for reviews so this sentence is filler.

Fantastic

Loved all 3 books. Narration was perfect, damn I like Coyote, trickster or not.. Mr. Van Stry knows how to write a compelling tale.

Awesome story!

Unlike most stories there is no long and drawn out sections. From the first sentence to the last, not a dull moment!

Its Good

A nicely laid out story. Using american indians for your story is nicely done and represented. Not often are they featured in novels outside of western genres. Though the world is laid out and properly explained, it kinda give me a cliche feel, like i get from similar story plots. Such as: a higher being has chosen someone to save the world and such. He gets the girl/s. Has to overcome adversity and so on. The narrator is ok, he reads it well and clear, but doesn't always deliver the character's emotions or intentions very well. At times, some of them sound robotic or paced like one.

Van Stry continues to deliver

What a great work! Where to start? The performance was great, the actor does a great job capturing the characters. Mr. Van Stry has created a very fun story that combines technology and fantasy seamlessly. The plot and narrative flow smoothly and work well. The dialogue is witty and smart as it always is in Van Stry's works. The relationships between characters feels real and don't seem to be artificial or overly and imaginatively perfect and happy. I was not expecting the twist where it ties in the sci-fi aspects, and they are written in well. It is obvious Mr. Van Stry has some technical background because he writes out the technical flight aspects in such a way that most regular folks can understand and it doesn't come off as dry and boring. Overall this is a very fun book and is a must for any fan of the genre!

Lots of fun listening to.the books all the way through

I liked all 3 books individually. I like them more as a nonstop listen.

coyote needs a human. and boy does he get one.

Days of Future Past

Great book it makes one feel for Paul and the pain he is out thru.

That was a fantastic read.

in the world of fantasy book series is I really like this one the MC doesn't try to start a harem when he gets very caught up in his ego the superpowered creature / God that brought him to the new world humbles him and keeps him on track. this was an epic fantasy/sci-fi/survival/romance book that I would definitely read againthe only thing I didn't like about it was that I didn't have sex scenes and honestly the story was so good that really didn't bother me that much as far as the performance went audible does this weird thing where if the books are older they don't check the copies so there are moments where it'll be playing and it'll skip out but you generally get the gist of what the characters are saying to each other definitely give it five stars.

Great series at a great value

I was interested after reading the description but a bit iffy on buying into the series when I saw the first book was ~6 hours long, I usually prefer ~8h per credit. But when I saw the trilogy, I knew I had to give it a listen.
I do think the first book was probably the strongest of the series, as it had the most character development among all the characters, not just the protagonist. Additionally the third's pacing is a bit off as it essentially seems to end the series halfway through, with a wrap up mission taking another three hours. However overall I would absolutely recommend the series.

Awesome love it

This was a fantastic super fun Reed kept me going through the whole night couldn’t put it down Took me about a day to finish the whole thing
