Summary
The Future Has Already Happened.
It's expected to be an excursion like any other. There is nothing in the records to indicate that anything out of the ordinary will happen. A bus will take them to the mall. They will have an hour or so to look around. Perhaps buy something, try their food.
A minor traffic incident on the way back to the resort will provide additional interest - but the tour rep has no reason to expect any trouble. Until he notices that one of his party is missing. Most disturbingly, she is a woman who, according to the records, did not go missing.
Now she is a woman whose disappearance could change the world.
With breathtaking plot twists that ricochet through time, The Tourist is the most original conspiracy thriller you will listen to this year.

Need a mind-blowing paradox? I Noah guy
The Tourist by #RobertDickinson published by @HachetteAudio. I liked this book a lot. I read it a lot of times but that's mostly because I needed to understand what the fuck it was all about. On my fourth attempt, I got it. It was a literary feat of high calibre complexity.
⚠️SPOILER ALERT⚠️This book contains plots that cross timelines with times paradoxes left open to interpretation. The box 📦 is completely irrelevant to the path of the time-traveller, and is a red herring. Instead focus on the event that leads up to MC Spence losing his foot.
The writing was great. However, @PeterKennyVoice was even better. He did a brilliant job providing the voiceover work. All characters were brought to life but my favourite was Leigh, the way she sings Oz's 'follow the yellowbrick road,' it's what made me fall in❤️ love with her.
I would recommend this book for any readers who want a challenge with a high literary skill. It is not for the feint hearted. For those who do read this: The Tourist who turns up at the end when Spence is dying. His last thoughts of the opera. Why? Tell me.

Intriguing addition to time travel genre
Lots of interesting ideas around time travel, introduced not by bald explanations but implied by the characters and story. Kept me hungry right to the last minute.
The narrator did an excellent job of voicing the multiple characters (some speaking in first person).
Overall very glad to have listened (guardian review) and eager for more from the author

Such a shame
What would have made The Tourist better?
I'm sure the author is highly talented but not at this genre. It is a well written book and the small sub-plots are entertaining but the main plot is impossible to follow.
What was most disappointing about Robert Dickinson’s story?
The actual plot. The back and forth of time travel impose a real challenge for the author and the narrator. Neither succeed in making a complex story easy to follow.
What didn’t you like about Peter Kenny’s performance?
The characters were too close together. It was not easy to tell them apart.
What character would you cut from The Tourist?
None.

Ask for a refund
Would you try another book written by Robert Dickinson or narrated by Peter Kenny?
Absolutely not. At least based upon this work.
Has The Tourist put you off other books in this genre?
No, but it has put me off this author
What three words best describe Peter Kenny’s performance?
Not too bad.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Tourist?
All of them
Any additional comments?
There was so much left up to the reader to do that it felt like an academic exercise on a really poor work. The single worst book I've ever bought from Audible - and I include The Stone Man in that, which is saying something.

An atypical work of sci~fi
The Tourist, by Robert Dickinson, is a brilliant work of science-fiction and a multilayered critique of our beloved fascinations. The Tourist is a sui generis novel indeed.
I look forward to seeing more of Robert Dickinson 's exceptional novels in Audible' s catalog.
