End of Times emanates from a voice from another time, in fact, the end of time. It tells an epic story over hundreds of years in classic science fiction fashion, which encompasses religious beliefs, potential dystopian futures, space, and time travel, and addresses eternal questions such as who we are, what is our purpose, what do we want, what is good and evil, is there a god and so on. It offers the reader a rollercoaster ride which expands to different time zones and multiverses, and it examines what reality actually is. Is there hope for humankind? Is there a connected plan to life, and if so, what is it? End of Times takes the reader on a compelling journey which begins with one single disembodied voice from the end of time. I listened to it, and this is its story.
