If this was the case it would explain the rapid breakdown of their mental health and alcohol (or oblivion) craving, as when the traveller makes repeated trips, the Card Men are constantly struggling with the tangling timelines. 12-06-2011 09:58 AMmae 12-06-2011 12:24 PMDarkthoughts:lol: 12-10-2011 09:42 PMmtdman
The Card Men didn't have to be there at the same moment all the time, they had to be there at the bubble at the start of each new time thread. They basically stood there at the bubble like door men. And they had to be there in each thread, and keep track of each thread, and that was the reason why they were going crazy. Otherwise they were free to roam within a distance of that door.
I've listened to the story entirely through twice now. I really enjoy this book and Craig Wasson did a great job with this book. Frankly, I could read about Jake/George in 1950s/60s Jodi, Tx for 1000s of pages. Kind does a great job bringing that time period to life. 12-11-2011 04:18 PMFlygrl11/22/63 Curiousity?Could somebody give me a very quick rundown of the plot with no major spoilers? I have to wait until Christmas for the book and it's KILLING me inside.

Please look around before starting new threads. Also, threads whose only purpose is to inform their starter on the plot of a book are not very welcome.
Thank you. 12-12-2011 02:15 AMBriceYes, in fact a good rule of thumb is if you expect to be the only one that benefits from the thread it probably shouldn't be a thread, but should merely be a question to ask in a preexisting one. 12-13-2011 08:44 AMMerlin1958Not sure anymore what the policy is for spoilers here, so I'll be safe than sorry, but the Yellow Card Men were a part of the "Reset" having been there the first time around. Therefore they were "Always" there at that same moment in Sept., 1958. The major difference being that they were aware of the consequences/changes to the overall timelines.
However, what I really wanted to point out (that I just recently somehow realized) is that while I truly enjoyed the ending as is and would not necessarily change it one iota,

Just throwing that out there for discussion! 12-13-2011 08:51 AMJeanBill: the policy of spoilers here is just as elsewhere. If spoilers are specified in the name of a thread, one does not have to mark spoilers that spoil the book to which the thread is dedicated; moreover, I would say one should not mark them, for the sake of readability and convenience.
If, however, some other book is being spoiled, one should use spoiler tags.
