Do you ever feel like YOU were the lucky one for finding a book? Because I felt LUCKY getting to read this. I am a BIG fan of books that utilize multiple point of views (POVs) because it really keeps me immersed and engaged. I loved the complexity of not only the storytelling- but of the worlds and characters within them. There are so many dynamic exciting things that happen that it can seem overwhelming, but let the story overtake you because the outcome is so worth it. It’s the first in the series and I’m so thankful I can read the second one because I am EAGER FOR MORE. I can’t get enough of the Journey’s Through series and more works by James Talisman! Onto the next!
As a huge fan of sci-fi, I really loves this book. Set between multiple characters, it can be hard to follow at times and to find the major connection between them. The end product was incredible and makes those connections apparent. I took one star off because I felt there could have been less characters or the flow between them could have been better. I also was thrown by the fact that very few contractions were used, making the dialogue kind of stunted. Overall I really did enjoy this book and am looking forward to reading the next installment now that I know the connections.
A mysterious voice is heard in the minds of inhabitants across multiple within the vast multiverse of space and time……
This is an adventure of a swords master’s son, a powerful queen, a warrior, a college student from Earth, a reptilian humanoid scientist, and a wise leader of a utopian world that have to use all of their skills to battle evil forces that are bent on ensuring reality forms as they desire…..
We start the book as we enter all the different worlds, meeting all the different characters along the way, then a voice calls across the universe sounding in the heads of different people across the planets, which will bring characters together in a series of events.
Together they will take on mystery, betrayal and danger to make their way through the multi-universe and have an adventure through space.
This book is amazing and I love how the author connecting all these worlds and characters together, intertwining them making this a wonderful fantasy read. It is extremely detailed, so the guide at the beginning was really useful, but I enjoyed the fact that the story was complex, as it made me really concentrate on the characters.
I am really looking forward to the second book, it was beautifully written and an epic read. Would truly recommend.
The synopsis grabbed my attention and made me pick up this debut book for author James Talisman. There is a lot going on, with a complex storyline and multiple worlds and timelines. I had to read a few things more than once. Some of the wording I found repetitive, especially in some of the dialogue, but there were also some really beautiful descriptions. I’m looking forward to the next installment in the series.
Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman is an amazing read. This isn’t usually a book I would read but after reading the Synopsis I became curious. This is a sci-fi/ fantasy book that is full of time travel, adventure and action. This book has many characters and scenery that the author did amazing job on giving detail to that you can envision while you read. After I started the book I realized I needed to read it at a slower pace so that I didn’t miss anything. I quickly became hooked on this book and I am so glad I chose to read it. I recommend this book!
Journeys Through SpaceTime was a really good novel! It was a very enjoyable read, great characters and world building. It’s a science fiction fantasy novel, but there’s a lot more elements included than just those. I was instantly held in the pages as soon as I read the first chapter! I can’t wait for the next one, I would read this book again, and I can’t wait to read more from James Talisman!
Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman
Five Stars
Journeys Through SpaceTime is a debut book by James Talisman and an awesome first book in what looks to be a superb series. This sci-fi/fantasy is packed with action and adventure that had me hooked from the very start. This story incorporates a lot of different characters and worlds, and it is wonderful how James kept them organized and in sync. Because of the sheer amount of information and jumping between multiverses, you need to read without distractions to get the full effects of the story. I really felt a connection to the characters and was amazed at the plot. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through…, #1) by James Talisman was a super interesting read. I love sci-fi, time travel, and multiverses so I was intrigued after reading the synopsis and knew this series would be right up my alley. The book starts with so many different characters and paths, that at times it was hard to follow, yet still kept me interested. As you read on, the story starts to unfold and really shows you how the entire multiverse connects. I recommend this book and have already started the second because this one was so great!
Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman – Review by Allyson Ware
Wow. When I began this book, I never could have guessed what was contained inside. I also struggled at first with so much going on, but the author does SUCH a good job brining it all together cohesively.
I do have to say, I think my favorite character is Cassius. He almost reminds me of Sampson from the Bible. I love that he follows his intuition and seems to truly have a good heart. I cannot wait to see what the second book has in store for everyone involved.
Journeys Through SpaceTime
(Journeys Through Book 1)
By: James Talisman
Genre: Sci-Fi Fantasy
Pages: 274
Winner winner chicken dinner! Now this is a book I would recommend to any and all. I am a huge fan of time travel and adventure. Have you ever see the show Timeless?
Now think of that in the fantasy world of space.
Now this adapts the love of ancient Egypt and different times of the human world into the sci-fi world and it sucks you in with amazing character; that honestly, should each have their own spin-off okay.
With these characters they are so well explained and the details are so precise that you want to be their friend or their worst enemy. While reading this I didn’t want the story to end but it is beautiful all the way around till the very last page.
Five stars I wouldn’t give it anything else!
A great read for Sci/Fi fans!
Journeys Through Space Time is intriguing and filled with mystery. The book is comprised of multiple main characters and complex story lines. From the voice in their heads to the mysterious characters they meet along the way, you’ll enjoy reading about each of their journeys and even find yourself loving some of the MCs. James Talisman provides excellent details in this book that makes you feel like you’re there right along with them.
Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is the first novel in the Journeys Through series. At first it was a little bit confusing when trying to keep track on who is who. The author introduced too many different people all at once. As time went on and more things were written, it got easier.
The book is about a multiverse with several different peoples point of view. They were all written so differently that it held on to my interest even in the initial confusion. As time went on, I fell in love with most of the characters.
I have heard about multiverse before, especially through The Flash from DC but this novel took it to a whole new level in a good way! It took the classic good vs evil and threw in different species, different types of environments all mixed together in this universe.
I am not a sci-fi fan when it comes to space or things of a similar genre so when a few characters were from Earth, it made it more enjoyable for me. If you are a huge fan of sci-fi then this is the book for you! Even if you are not a sci-fi fan, I still recommend this novel.
James Talisman did such an amazing job grabbing the reader (me). I don’t often choose a sci-fi book but was glad this one called to me! Book was well written, interesting, and a page turner! Was very happy with it! Cannot wait for more from such a great author!
Journeys Through SpaceTime is a wonderful story of the MultiVerse. James Talisman does an excellent job of sharing the story of multiple creatures across time and space.
Each character hears a voice that encourages them to continue along the path they are on. Every character has been raised to focus on their inner self and has learned to use meditation as part of their daily lives. As the story for each individual continues, special teachers help the characters to redevelop skills from their childhood and expand their knowledge to aid them in their current journey.
The underlying plot of good vs evil helps the readers to understand how we all have a path to take in life. Some of our journeys are more influential on the outcome and survival of our respective civilizations, but each journey is uniquely important.
Journeys Through Space Time intrigued me from the very beginning, and I found it difficult to put this book down. That came as a huge surprise to me because I am not a fan of anything Sci Fi and try to avoid it as best as I can. However, I quickly became wrapped up in the lives of the characters and was fascinated by the concept of multiple worlds. The multiple characters, storylines and points of view were beautifully written, and the story was immensely entertaining.
Even more intriguing to me was that the voice of a mysterious being could be heard in the minds of inhabitants across both time and space. This powerful and wise voice spoke to each inhabitant and gave each one of them advice or words of warning. The only thing linking the inhabitants of all these different worlds was the mysterious voice that each one of them heard. Those that heard the mysterious voice must now combine forces and use their knowledge and newly acquired skills to fight the forces of evil. The fate of the Multiverse is up to them.
I found it truly fascinating to explore the concept of multiple worlds and the vast Multiverse of space and time. The concept of multiple planets each with their own inhabitants had me really thinking about the possibility of life on other planets. The thought of a wise and powerful being that could get into our minds and control our thoughts intrigued me. This book gave me plenty to think about with the concept of multiple realities taking place simultaneously on multiple planets. This book is one that I will read again.
This is an excellent sci-fi read! I so enjoyed all of the characters that you get to read about and it helps that there is a character list at the beginning of the book. I loved reading all if the different descriptions of the multiverse! I really liked reading about Hirisho and about Rashella. The writer is descriptive but not overboard and he has a great writing style. I look forward to reading more from James Talisman!
The story Journey’s Through SpaceTime (Journey’s Through Book 1) by James Talisman is a differently amazing read. It hooks you in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. The book has many different characters. The way the author has developed each character is just astounding. Each character is so unique that they could have between real people in real life. This novel is filled full of adventure and discovers each characters true potential. While this isn’t one of my normal genres that I read, I decided to give it a shot and ended up liking it.
What a thought provoking read! Four different time/story lines that all end up intersecting at the end to bring it all together, in a sense. Each timeline- think Star Trek (future), Egyptian (past), Chinese (past), and current times- has their different, yet similar, good vs. evil characters. You love to hate the bad guys and root for the good guys!
This was my first time reading this author. I have to say, I was blown away by how much he was able to convey with each timeline and it not feel repetitive! Immediately, you are drawn in to each time’s story and eagerly read to see how it all comes together.
Cleverly written sci-fi adventure
This was an exceptional piece of writing. So many layers that one could easily become lost in the intricate web of the multi-verse. The author was very good at providing moments of grounding within each chapter that really helped the reader to connect and gather their understanding. There is a lot within these pages but it all needs to be appreciated as a whole package – so reading on is a must as it all ties in together. As I finished the book it I felt like I had been on an epic journey – just as the title says. Highly recommend.
This is a story which spreads across multiple times and communities within the Multiverse where a chosen few are gifted with the ability to hear an ethereal voice and given special training from a group of Masters of Esoteric Wisdom. The chosen are of all different walks of life, from a beautiful Queen, to a soldier and a student, but all with the same mission to improve the world in a way that only they can. The book starts by introducing these teachers and the All-That-Is when they all gather in an auditorium where a beautiful and ethereal being of light and colour appears to spread a message of love and instruct them on the teachings that they are to give to their students.
In the next chapter, we meet these chosen people, starting in the Critonian Empire where Cassius is about to become embroiled in the next battle with their neighbouring empire, as he is in the melee of swords clashing on shield and bloody violence on both sides. As he is preparing himself, he thinks of the battle and why they are fighting in the first place, questioning where the need is for this senseless killing at all, he then experiences a voice telling him that they will return soon and to not forget the lessons that he has learned and that he will survive what is to come, he then briefly blacks out and when he comes to, his friend is protecting him and he finishes the battle which they win in the end. As Cassius celebrates their victory, he cannot help but wonder who the voice was and what the message it gave him meant.
We next go to Earth where Matt is doing his martial arts training with his friend Dan and it is during the cool down laps of the building where he experiences a voice telling him that they must leave, but that he must remember the lessons from his past and it is important that he does so but that they will return to him, he also then proceeds to black out. When he comes round, Dan is concerned about him but Matt ensures him that he is ok, Dan says it is because he hit him too hard in training, to which Matt responds that it seemed to be him who was taking more hits, all this is said in friendly banter.
We then meet Queen Neferities, a beautiful and fair ruler as she is sat on her palace balcony and watching the world go by while thinking how beautiful her country is and how the society she has helped to create is a wonderful place to exist, while also being a place that pays homage to it’s past with monuments is has placed throughout the city. She reminisces about her father and how he helped her to develop her interest in engineering and the sciences when she was a child so that she could develop her skills of understanding the complexities around them. This is as well as being taught the Esoteric Wisdom and the ancient teachings around reality and the Alchemy of Mind associated with it. She then passes the day meeting with her advisors and eating with them until she returns to her balcony to meditate on the knowledge gained and to plan her actions the next day. As she begins her meditation, she journeys to the internal space where she is at complete peace and can think about all that she has experienced during her day, it is during this meditation that she feels that someone has entered her chambers and it is her most trusted servant to tell her that her bath is ready. She enters the bath and proceeds to bathe and be washed by her two female attendants, just as she decides to enter the soaking bath, she feels dizzy and blacks out, this is when she hears the voice tell her that it must leave for a while and that she should remember her teachings and that she will need them to face the coming evil. She is then pulled from the bath by her attendants and decides to retire to bed where she can rest and think on what happened.
Next, the Co-Councillor of the United Commons of Eurotopia Rashella is thinking of all the progress her people have made over the years to become a peaceful community to work together and share the resources available to them while looking after the planet they live on and those within their solar system which they travel to. They are beginning to think about furthering this travel and have begun working with another peaceful culture, the Andotians to work together and further each of their technologies by sharing information and experience, this includes defensive as well as offensive technologies due to the realistic possibility that not all spacefaring cultures will be as peaceful as they are and that the need to defend themselves against this possibility is essential. Their culture is based upon the Esoteric Wisdom passed down to their elders by alien sources and has been essential in building the structure of the beliefs which created the society they live in today. As the meeting with the Andotians comes to a close, they agree to go for drinks after and Rashella goes to her apartment to change and meet her husband who goes to the meet up with her. It is during the meal, drinks and conversation that she blacks out and hears the voice in her head saying that she will be alone for a while, that she must ensure that Eurotopia continues as it is and that it is an experiment of the most successful kind. After this experience, Rashella and her husband leave the event and go back home.
In this next part, we meet Hirisho in Hydosito prefecture where he is sitting on a mountain top and looking over the valley where he lives to escape from his duties in the Shogun Lyshido’s elite troops within his army, for which he was chosen when he demonstrated his skills while exhibiting a sword made by his father on the Shogun’s visit to his village twenty years before. He goes back to his barracks to sleep and wakes up refreshed and ready for the days training with the rest of the elite troops. They complete the morning warm up and training where they are all shown the basic moves for the weapon they will be training with that day and he is matched with someone of equal experience, stature and skill so it is a taxing training session and good workout, this is until he hears the ringing in his ears and blacks out. The voice he hears when this happens tells him to continue on the path which he has forged and that he is ready for the next level of his training and that it will be back soon. His training partner helps him up and asks him if he is alright, Hirisho replies that he is and he is thankful that he didn’t hit him in the head.
The final chosen one is a resident on Elipsson, a desert planet with heat and cold which goes with it, as well as the limited resources left on it, this leads to the factions living on the planet being in a constant state of war and this makes this reptilian humanoid race a very violent one. A hundred years before, a spacecraft crashed onto the planet and it is this that has enabled the Elipsson culture to reverse engineer its technology to improve their technology and make them the ruling faction on the panet. It is the summer solstice and time for their highest ritual, the Hecatomb Ritual and the celebration which follows it, we meet Tyson in the middle of his work day where he is going to the baths to soak in the cool water and escape from the heat, while there, he is thinking about the night’s ritual and whether it is really necessary or whether it is an archaic ritual which shouldn’t have a place in today’s society. The soaks in the bath enable Tysson to meditate and think about the things within his culture which he doesn’t agree with, he starts to discuss this with his friend, he blacks out and hears the voice telling him that it will be away for a while, but that he should continue on the journey he has chosen and that his progress has been a pleasure to observe, after he comes back around, he realises that his friend has stopped him from drowning and they decide to call it a day and get out of the pools.
What will the future hold for these individuals and how will their paths develop over time? Will they be able to learn all the things they need to in time, or will time run out for them? The only way to find out is to follow them on their journey’s and find out.
