Thanks for that wonderful review. This book seems to be so interesting, as I love stories of mystery and history. I probably would love to see this story shown in a movie or a TV series. Anyway, great job for the author of the book, and will follow and check out his other books because I was really caught up and amazed with this one. Happy reading! :D

I can agree with you that this story is an amazing one. To take characters from the present to the history is quite involving and would require creativity on the part of the author.
The language is simple, as I found out from the sample.

I read the sample, and was hooked. I've already been an Amazon unlimited member, but wasn't interested in continuing the membership. I had to buy the book to continue reading it, and this is one that I feel is totally worth it. Can't wait to see how it plays out!

The book and the broadcast tv show sounds so interesting and captivating.A psychological thriller revolving around conspiracy theories, time travel, and spiritual journeys sounds intriguing...
fine character build up regardless of the abrupt ending. i will love to read the book so as to see the connection between the characters. in fact, i would have preferred this book more in a form of tv series.

The opening statement of the official review that The Broadcast by Liam Fialkov is full of mystery and a great plot is certainly an exaggeration. The narrative does not generate endearing characters nor is there a thrilling plot. However, the plot is quite credible in its retelling of chilling aspects of maturity and family life in the case of Sarah. It is arguable that this text paints a twisted picture of the hierarchy in the Catholic convents while at the same time attempting to depict the general sisters as a loving faith-filled congregation.

Knowing the possibilities in-time travelling has always giviing me the egde to press on to knowing the past from the future. Although it's a story of sci-fi
I believe its very informative and a really true life centered regime which will in no time occur......

Time traveling to solve cold cases. Sold! This book sounds amazing. Loved the sample. It's also interesting to read about adopted children's search for parents but very sad.

That's a big book! There must a lot going on for it to be so big. It most certainly sounds interesting. Imagine being able to see the past and solve unsolvable crimes? It sounds amazing, but it also sounds like it can go terribly wrong. I'm wondering if that's the point to this book. I do wonder how all the characters are connected. Might just check this out!

The plot of this book seems intriguing but I also think it sounds like it is very far from being realistic so I do not think this would be a book for me. The lack of dialogue doesn't really bother me though. Great job on your review!

This plot sounds intriguing and unique. I like the idea of the media playing such a large role in this cold case; I feel it's very relevant to current cultural issues. I'll have to check this one out! Thanks for the insightful review!
