About this listen
The villainous He has travelled back in time to mankind's distant past on the legendary planet Earth (or "Dirt") of 1984, where he is altering events so that people who opposed him in the Rat's present cease to exist, Angelina amongst them. Using the Helix, a time-travel device invented by the Special Corps' Professor Coypu, diGriz travels to 1984 America, and then to Napoleonic France where tanks and aircraft are helping bring about Napoleon's victory.

Great fun
Great performance and the story is definitely fun even if it feels a little on the short side.

One of the stronger books, with a good reading
'Saves the world' is one of my favourite Rat books, and the reading by Gigante doesn't disappoint. His style is exactly the same as before in the other books and is perfectly suited to the Rat's character.
The time travel elements are a bit primitive, and although some of the paradoxes introduced are intentional, there are a few that don't make sense and aren't explained either. When the Rat travels back 32,000 years to what was then modern age is entertaining, and the final confrontation withe He at the end of Earth is well put.
The only real problem with this particular entry is that by design and plot the ending is very much Deus Ex Machina - the entire thing is wrapped up and solved in the space of a paragraph or two.
