‘Journeys Through AllCreation’ is the third instalment in the ‘Journeys Through’ series by James Talisman. As with the previous books, this is an intriguing sci-fi and fantasy adventure story. We embark on this new adventure with many familiar faces playing their part, as well as some interesting new additions to the cast.
I enjoyed the first two books and was intrigued to see where this ‘journey’ would lead us. As this is the third book in the series, with a lot of recurring characters, as well as some over-arching storyline, I really recommend reading the other two books before embarking on this journey as having all the backstory, previous adventures, character introductions, and other important information contained in those first two books will definitely enhance your reading experience of this third instalment.
This is another well thought out, multi-layered, complex, and intriguing action-packed adventure. With all creation at risk of destruction we join a quest seeking an ancient artifact that has the power to help save creation from disappearing. A powerful being with evil intent threatens to wreak havoc- making for a high stakes journey, action-packed adventure full of danger and mystery.
Along with the other two books in this series, we are provided a thought provoking read with plenty of action that also explores themes of consciousness, relativity, spirituality, ancient wisdoms, time travel, reality, the multiverse, and much more.
The ending definitely leaves room for more adventure/s, so I am very interested to see what Mr. Talisman has in store for us next.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, James Talisman!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I waited for this book to be available after being hooked to the first two in the series and it delivers!

The author continues to utilize descriptive imagery and provides a depth to his characters that is nearly unmatched by other authors! Though it is a complex MultiVerse, he brings it to life and connects the story so well it’s easy to keep track of the events, worlds, and universes within the storyline. This final chapter was action-packed and so satisfying with every last detail recorded.

In this installment of the series, everything has culminated into a camaraderie of good throughout the MultiVerse battling evil to save many universes from total destruction and allow their ways of life to continue.

I’m so excited to see what this author will do next!

What a fantastic addition to an already amazing series. If you haven’t read the first two books yet I would recommend doing so immediately. With each new book that comes out I have found the series is going from strength to strength. I am always instantly hooked on the writing and genuinely can’t wait to see what is going to happen. The book is imaginative and so well written. I have come to learn not to start reading one of these books unless I have time to finish it because I just don’t want to put it down. This was a brilliant book that I cannot rate highly enough.

I am a huge fan of this gifted author. The first two books hooked me and held me deep as I read and this one was certainly no different. The story brings you in the world to which the characters reside, and bring on so much development as use of description to make you really feel you are right with the characters.

I would defiantly say this one, is my favorite so far. I feel the author is so talented, they keep introducing new things to the next installment to keep the reader interested and for sure wanting more. I can never get enough of this series. Fantasy, space, good vs. evil, what’s not to love truly? I found the description use for the senses the author uses, sensational! Its really fine wok to achieve that I find, and the power it brings over you as you envision, is unlike no other!

What I love about this series, and this book especially, is the the way the book captivates and makes my mind work. It makes me use parts of my brain that I normally do not. It makes me think. Plain and simple. In a good way! The face flows very nicely and there is not a dull moment in this book. Wonderful and amazing read, I would not recommend passing this book up or the books prior in the series!

Love this series and the amazing work this author does so much! I hope they just keep on writing. I look forward to the new installments all the time! I can never get enough or bored with the books or series. I loved this one for reasons, you need to read this one. It is captivating and that’s all I shall say! Truly highly recommend this series, this amazing book, and this out of this world author!

This book was outstanding. A battle of good and evil through the multiverse. You can’t help but jump into the book because the “twins” pull you in from the first two books. Their adventures continue with the Lightseekers against the DoH. The author does an excellent job portraying these characters. From the Masters of Shimbalah to Zenon the wolve-man who roams the woods around it. I personally loved how the book traveled throughout the multiverse. There were separate teams at work to save the Earth spread out. This book really is so amazing. It makes you think and wonder about things. I really loved it and highly recommend it and the whole series. I would give it more than a 5 if I could. I look forward to reading more.

By James Talisman

4-stars

This is the third book in this authors Journeys Through series, a series that I believe should be read in order as each new book continues following characters from previous books.

Having read the previous books of the series I had high hopes for this one, and I was not disappointed. Just like the rest of this series this one kept me thoroughly entertained the whole way through and almost in awe of the imagination this author has.

I will say that this is one of the most detailed books and series I’ve ever read, which at times I found slightly overwhelming because it’s a lot to take in, but it didn’t take away from the amazing one-of-a-kind storyline.

I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous two books. This is a standalone series but to help your enjoyment of this series and this author, it would be helpful to read them. I have enjoyed this author’s writing style and books from the first one I picked up. The characters pull you in from the beginning and they bring the story to life. This book is no different. It is a well written story that is full of action and is a battle for the future. I found this book to be fast paced and hard to put down. The growth of the plot and the characters are great throughout the story. It made the story easy and entertaining to read. You don’t want to miss what happens next in this series. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I thought this book was pretty interesting to start with, in terms of the story itself. I was intrigued by reflecting on what I would do in an incredibly uncharted world, and I was eager to find out what Thomas and his new acquaintance turned friend did! The book was pretty easy to read, and visualize, but as the story progressed, I became really confused. I let that feeling subside and continued to try and read it. I believe that the description of the surroundings needed to be viewed, which instantly made me want to SEE this book in cinema! Not being able to visualize it was really tough but I tried as much as I could to progress. I think this book could benefit from an accompanying set of drawings, or a YouTube graphics video etc to help visualize. At any rate, by the end I was interested in moving through the novella series. The ending was highly disappointing.

Thomas is a man with a lot of life experience under his belt and now all he wants to do it hike the trails around where he lives and absorb the nature around him and that is exactly what he sets out to do, however on this particular day, it is the one thing that doesn’t happen.

The hike starts off as any other does, apart form the car in the car park with a note saying it is “not abandoned”, he admires the viewpoint and makes his way up to the part of the trail with a wall around it and the decision to either follow the trail and either go up or down. This changes when he spots a footprint on the top of the wall and he has a decision to make, but in the end he makes a discovery and takes a leap of faith following where he thinks the person may have gone.

What Thomas finds when he follows in another’s footsteps is nothing like he has seen before, but the friendships he creates will leave a lasting effects on him. If you were in his shoes, somewhere you have never been before and with only your skills and those of another to keep you going, would you be able to take the same leap of faith and be brave enough to create the friendships it may lead to? This is a dystopian adventure where science fiction becomes a new reality and nothing is what it seems.

I don’t read many sci fi books but I stumbled across this novella and I figured with such a short page count, what did I have to lose? I wasn’t sure what to expect, as I was taking a chance on a new to me author but as I find more often than not, I was pleasantly surprised. This story was captivating from start to finish and left me craving more. The imagery and attention to detail did not go unnoticed and the characters were well developed. I enjoyed this brief escape from
reality!

I’m actually very surprised by how much I enjoyed this novella. It really had a way of pulling me in and I devoured it very quickly. It was such an interesting time going with Thomas on his very different hike. Then we meet April and things just keep on getting more interesting and captivating from there. I just overall loved it! Highly recommended if you enjoy science fiction.

wow! this book is an incredible dive into the possibilities of parallel dimensions or possibly other worlds!
This hooked me in the first 3 pages and I finished it in one sitting. Thomas and April do not know one another but their paths cross and an ultimate journey begins.
Exploring an entirely different world and having to solve puzzles using their combined math and science knowledge and survival skills.

What do they find? Can they get back to earth? Is there other life out there?

This Novella feels like the start to a series that will be captivating. I can’t wait to see if it is!

Leon Stevens is a new author to me. His storytelling ability kept my interest throughout the whole story. It was full of details that painted a beautiful picture of what was going on in every direction I looked. The characters are what cemented my feet to the ground and kept me wanting more. Thomas started his day as a normal day for a hike. He was prepared for the normal hike he took, but what happens next is amazing. This adventurous hike had taken him where his feet had not taken him before. He was somewhere new with new characters that will begin to be friends and new adventures. You will have to read where his hike takes him and see if you enjoy his adventure as much as I have.

I enjoyed this sci-fi/adventure novella! The author did a wonderful job of creating characters that were adventurous and relatable but what really hooked me was the world building! I often times lose interest in sci-fi/adventure stories because I don’t feel like I’m there with the characters but this descriptions of both the world inside and outside of the cave really piqued my interest. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

It is a touching story that shows the beautiful side of humanity and the desire to help others. It also highlights the friendships you can make and what you can accomplish with two heads on the same team. A extraordinary and well-written story, it is perfect for all ages.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a quick read that does not have any slow moments. This novella consists of passion, conflict, betrayal, and so much more. This is a jungle romance where the main character, Lydia, finds out that her boyfriend has been kidnapped because he knows where a valuable ring has been hidden. She is told that unless she retrieves the ring her boyfriend will die. The twist is the only person that can help her on what is sure to be a dangerous task is her ex boyfriend, whom also happened to be best friends with her kidnapped boyfriend. The plot is very interesting and provides plenty of twists. There seems to be a few plot holes and abrupt ending but overall it creates a nice escape and keeps you on your toes.

This was a quick sci-fi novella that will have you wondering at the possibilities of life outside of our current realm of understanding. We see a different view of life you’d never imagine otherwise, as two hikers meet in what seems to be another world. I enjoyed how different this novella was from the usual sci-fi where other worlds are involved and how the two main characters were able to bridge the age gap and work well together to explore some of that world. The new place Thomas and April find not only intrigues them, but tests their combined survival skills during their exploration, and brings the two together in an easy friendship. This novella does feel like it could be a prequel to what I think could be a promising sci-fi series.

The View from Here is an adventure of a story. I really liked the premise of what should be a simple journey turning into something much more. The story-building and character development are really well done, making me not want to put this book down. This is a fairly quick read, but it did leave me wanting more from the story. I want to know what happens next.
This was my first book from this author, and I hope to read more from him soon.

I have been enjoying all the Sci-Fi reads I am coming across lately. This one had a fun and fast paced feel to it, and it truly took your imagination there with characters the more you read.
Thomas and April meet on this hike that follows their exploration into the unknown. Together they navigate this newfound world in a cave with only the supplies on their back and their nature skills. Strangers become friends and this new world becomes their playground. Anything can happen, and all you can do is watch.

What he experiences on this journey is so engrossing that I didn’t want to stop reading. I really hope that there is a second book so I can see more of Thomas and April. I loved their connection!

This author really blew me away with this story and plot. Upon seeing the cover for this book and reading the synopsis I knew that I had to read this book. But I was blown away by the roller coaster adventure ride that the author takes us on. The characters were simply amazing, the attention to detail, and the overall plot was phenomenal. Personally I loved how the details left me with vivid beautiful visuals. So if your looking for a great new read this weekend from a creative author, then I suggest you pick this one up today.

This book was an interesting read, Thomas, the main character is an older man. He is still quite spry despite his age and enjoys going hiking, on this particular hike he is in for quite a surprise.

I honestly like the mechanics of travelling to another world, I thought it was quite unique. This other world had some very interesting set pieces, that I would love to be able to learn more about in a sequel or even prequel. My only real issue is that the story seemed to end almost abruptly, though it was teasing for a sequel at the same time, so maybe I’ll get my wish there.

The book was well written, and had some fun little pop culture references, you could really imagine the main characters, and I could easily see myself chatting away with them like an old friend.

This enjoyable and engaging sci-fi adventure story had me hooked from the very beginning. When Thomas sets out on a familiar hike that he has done many times before, he could never imagine how his world was going to change. As Thomas starts his hike he passes a vehicle in the parking lot with a handwritten note on the dashboard saying, Not Abandoned, he thinks nothing of this, until he reaches the end of his hike, only to discover the view is not what he expected. “What would you do if you found yourself on or in another world?”, “Do you have the skills and knowledge needed to survive or to make sense of what you see?”, these are the questions Thomas is suddenly faced with, but he’s not on his own.
The intriguing and exciting storyline had plenty of plot twists, as the two adventurers had to use their physical fitness and combined knowledge to get them through all the challenges that they faced. The characters are well defined and Thomas is a likeable and relatable main character, and I felt that I was alongside him on his journey. The descriptive narrative really brought the setting vividly to life and I felt completely immersed in the story. A great read, which I recommend.
