See all formats and editions

A routine tax fraud investigation. A strange lab. A mysterious button.

He shouldn’t have pushed the button. But Alfred Favero, senior analyst with the IRS, pushed the button. And now he’s 67 million years in the past, stranded out of time with a coworker who hates him and a bunch of tax cheats.

Oh, and then there’s the other inhabitants of his prehistoric home: the dinosaurs that want to make a meal of him. Things couldn’t get worse.

Until a mysterious visitor from an uncertain future shows up with murder on his mind…

(Cover by May Dawney Designs)

You can't get away from the tax man

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2019

Our hero and heroine work for the IRS and take a field trip to investigate a case of unpaid taxes. When they run into live dinosaurs, things get a bit complicated.

This may be hard to believe, but taxmen can be funny, although usually as the butt of a joke. At the basic level, this is a science fiction story involving time travel and all the fun paradoxes that go along with it. And that could be enough for a really fun story, but here we also get a lot of wonderful dry humor to go along with it. Our hero is such a single minded, straight-laced individual that he makes the perfect source for many a funny moment.

The story is very well written and, while it doesn't go into hard science, it does try to keep things as realistic as possible, which can be quite a feat with time travel. The characters are also really well written, including the supporting cast, which helps make the entire story come to life. Overall, the story was fantastic and kept me engaged straight through to the end.

I received a free ARC copy for review purposes.

Don’t push that button... or you just might end up 67 million years in the past!

I thought this was an enjoyable, time travel story. I chuckled at the humor of a tax fraud investigator traveling back in time, especially that far back. As Al and his partner try to come up with a plan for survival, they find out they are not alone...

A unique storyline and great narration. Definitely a fun way to spend a few hours.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

... says it all... I finished this book in two hours...fast and easy read if you just want to pass the time with something light and silly, but personally I like a bit more substance... I can't see myself buying any more of this series.

Everyone's "favorite" taxman

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

I guess the IRS truly is everywhere. Great story. I started the series further down the line so I really appreciated getting to know Alfred "in the beginning". He was somewhere between hilarious and scary and of course Nancy was smart and really ended up saving the day. I did have to listen to this alone because I kept laughing. The narrator captured him perfectly with a whining type of voice that made you want to slap him. It fit perfectly. Nancy came across as sarcastic and smart which considering she was the voice of reason, also made her perfect. I loved the "mercenary". I did have a bit of trouble with the description of the time problem and would have liked a better detailing of that but nevertheless, the story moved right along and didn't stop until the end. I'm off to Book 2.

Just a fun read

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2023

Perfect name for an IRS agent caricature. Alfred is so focused on catching tax cheats that he lacks fundamental human understanding of the situations he finds himself in. If not for his practical assistant he would have failed many times over. I was a little disappointed that all the answers they found seemed to come from Nancy and never from Alfred but by the end he was becoming aware that not all things are black or white. The time travel just gave a fun background for our analyst to adjust to the fact that life is more than the sum of figures on a sheet.

Turned out pretty good. :-D

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2019

I found that keeping the narrative between 95-100x worked best to get the sarcasm down. It did take me a few chapters to really get into the story but once I did it kept me engaged. :-)

So, Alfred totally annoyed me at the start, until I started laughing at him. :-D Of. course, Nancy is the back bone & heroine. Therefore, her character is strong which makes Alfred seem weak. Lol, I became annoyed with him in regards to the Marine. ;-)

Good word building, put I'd like a little more depth to the Cretaceous period.

The narrative, a bit distracting & his enunciations were a bit off more so in some places than others. He alone would get a 2.5 out of 5 from me.

Nice ending, I'm certainly going to read the next in the series. :-D

My star ratings include these 5 elements:
1★ story line
1★ engaging characters
1★ use of world building/descriptions
1★ narration or editing
1★ the ending

Fun and Tax Law

So, the premise of this always intrigued me. I mean, who doesn't like Land Before Time? But what if a Lawyer, or an IRS man traveled back in time to be there? I mean, what could go wrong?
Well, the answer is quite a lot.
The narration was done well, and the story was fun, with plenty of humor, and fun Time-Travel timeline and paradoxes that it made it fascination. I'd definitely recommend it for some light-hearted fun. The audio book was well done.

This story has so much potential!!! What happened??? Rachel has so much talent and argh!!!!! I feel cheated out of a heck of a tale! The beginning was excellent.....the characters were interesting and the potential for an amazing story about survival 67 Million years ago was awesome!
The other very annoying fact is that the story was partially duplicated at the beginning of almost every page......... It was hard to read and frustrating.

Reviewed in France on April 7, 2024

More like an extended novelette than a full novel which to my mind disqualified it from full five star rating. If however you are looking for a quick accessible read with unexpected situations and charachters with short backstories but fun quirks this will be right for you. Readers suffering from mansplainig colleagues etc will certainly be amused by the main male character's awakening from a borishly rigid know all to a laboriously repentant one - even if the point was somewhat belaboured, pun intended.

The idea alone - time travelling taxman - caught me. The plot is exciting, well done and entertaining. The taxman and his nerd lady compagnion are interesting and likeable. I read it in one day and had a marvellous time. Now on to the next book!

A Fun Romp

Reviewed in Canada on February 19, 2019

This book was such a fun read. The dynamic between the main characters of Alfred and Nancy is well developed in a short amount of time, and the growth of their relationship is just such a delight. The pace of the story is quick and doesn't drag but also doesn't leave the reader feeling that they missed something important. Looking forward to reading more of the adventures of Alfred Favero, IRS Senior Tax Analyst.

Nobody gets away without paying tax

This book is a brilliant read, you can travel through time but you can't get away without paying taxes.
Alfred and Nancy track together to find out what happened at a deserted facility, they don't expect to run into dinosaurs. Not do they expect to be transported back in time to the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth.
Suddenly there is more to live than petty office squabbles and then they need to find a way home. An excellent read for all

I got this book during a free promo and loved it! Is it particularly realistic? Of course not. Did I care? Not in the slightest.
Would recommend, and will probably come back to buy some more titles in the series at a later date.
