    About this audiobook

    Kate Heartfield's Alice Payne Arrives is the story of a time traveling thief turned reluctant hero in this science fiction adventure.

    A disillusioned major, a highwaywoman, and a war raging across time.

    It’s 1788 and Alice Payne is the notorious highway robber, the Holy Ghost. Aided by her trusty automaton, Laverna, the Holy Ghost is feared by all who own a heavy purse.

    It’s 1889 and Major Prudence Zuniga is once again attempting to change history—to save history—but seventy attempts later she’s still no closer to her goal.

    It’s 2016 and . . . well, the less said about 2016 the better!

    But in 2020 the Farmers and the Guides are locked in battle; time is their battleground, and the world is their prize. Only something new can change the course of the war. Or someone new.

    Little did they know, but they’ve all been waiting until Alice Payne arrives.

      Interesting time travel novel (beginning of a series) featuring sapphic lead Alice who is biracial Black woman in her thirties, she lives in 1780s with her lover Jane and they steal money from terrible men. Until one day a robbery goes wrong and she meets Prudence who is from the future.
      I admit the time traveling stuff is confusing. I don’t think I’ve ever read a story with time travel and was Not confused. It comes with the territory I guess.
      The short format works well for this story, it’s just a three hour long audiobook. The narrator was good. I think I will continue on with this story.
      Overall I enjoyed it! If you like sci-fi and sapphics and feeling like a short quick read give Alice Payne Arrives a go!
