Journeys through time space by James Talisman. The excitement continues! This is the second book in the journeys through series. Once again the author does and incredible job bringing multiple worlds and characters to life. Action packed from start to finish. I was hooked from page one.

Journeys Through TimeSpace Is the second book in the Journeys Through series. I highly recommend reading the first book before reading the second one. The books really build on each other, and it wouldn’t be as good of a read alone. This is another not fluffy read that really makes you think. The characters really pulled me in, and I loved how I related to their friendship and bond together. James Talisman is a talented author, and he weaves a wonderful tale that is worth the time!

This is the second installment in the Journeys series by James Talisman. In book one, we are thrown into a multi-verse, where characters come from different places and backgrounds. In this book, the battle to save Earth continues, but this battle is a little different. Instead of only traversing across the multi-verse, the characters are now traveling through time as well. I highly suggest reading book 1 (Journeys through SpaceTime) before heading out on this adventure, as it will make much more sense. I was very happy to see some of my favorite characters from book 1 return (but I won’t spoil who!), and learn more about who they are, and why. I was so invested in this series, wondering and hoping along with the characters, that good will overcome evil (in a sense). I am not typically a sci-fi reader but this series had me on the edge of my seat and I flew through the pages without effort. I truly hope to see a 3rd book in this set, and 110% recommend this series to everyone! 10 out of 10 stars, easily.

Journeys Through TimeSpace is the second book in the series by James Talisman and starts where Book 1, Journeys Through SpaceTime, leaves off. Our three young heroes return in Book 2, and it is up to this trio to save Earth from a powerful enemy. They have travelled to a secret and hidden place deep in the Himalayas to train and prepare for their quest. A quest that has them travelling between the past and the future to find treasures that are required to save Earth.
I loved reading this book and highly recommend it because it is truly intriguing and really had me thinking about the concepts of time travel, parallel universes, and the fascinating concept of a MultiVerse. I especially loved reading about the MultiVerse and was anxious to see how the story would unfold between the various characters and each of their planets. As I delved deeper into the book, I was introduced to the concept of the seven important principles which embody all of creation. This quickly had me thinking and wanting to explore these seven important principles farther.
Journeys Through TimeSpace is very well written and there is a great amount of detail in the story throughout its entirety. Each world is described vividly, really drawing you into the scene and the lives of the characters. My three favorite characters were our brave young heroes who have an amazing and unique friendship. Regardless of the numerous obstacles they are faced with in both the past and the present the bond between the trio remains strong and unwavering. Not only do I highly recommend this book but I think that both books would make great movies!

Journeys through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) by James Talisman is not just a great book for SciFi fans, it is a great book for any reader. I usually don’t gravitate towards this genre of writing, but, like the first book in the series, book two pulled me right in. In keeping with the first installment, book 2 is rich with character and description. The MultiVerse story follows closely the storyline of three friends (Matt, Julia, and Dan) as they work to keep Earth safe; however, running parallel, is the story of a reptilian leader on his own mission. I highly recommend reading book 1 first, as book 2 is a continuation. I found it quite helpful to already have a knowledge about the setting and characters and what drives them. I very much enjoyed falling into this author’s vibrant imagination and knack for engaging storytelling.

This book is the second of a series. Like the first, it has many characters and storylines to keep up with. If you like series like GoT, this is absolutely a series for you! This book picks up where the previous left off, so while it’s not 100% necessary to read Journeys Through SpaceTime beforehand, it will definitely make the read more enjoyable and help you to understand the various characters better. I thought the continuation was very well-done and a great followup on the storyline. Overall, these books are a great read for anyone looking for deep, complex storytelling!

Journeys Through TimeSpace is the second book in the Journeys Through series by James Talisman.
After reading the first book, I couldn’t wait to get stuck into book two. This genre really pulls me out of my reading comfort zone, but it was well worth investing time into this series.
This book is filled with action, adventure, and wonderful characters. After being introduced to the concept of the ‘MultiVerse’ in book one, we are still battling to save planet Earth. It’s a battle like no other set in different times and worlds. The descriptive writing style really brings this story to life, I got lost in the worlds and characters and flew through this book.
If you are looking for something different in the scifi/fantasy genre, I would definitely recommend this series.

Journeys Through TimeSpace by James Talisman is the second book in the Journeys Through Series. This book adds so much more about the wonderful characters we met in the first book. I highly recommend you read them in order. There are several different universes woven through the book and the author does a wonderful job of making the reader connect and care about what happens. This book got me even more invested in the story and I sure hope there is more to come!

This book has been an experience for me. I haven’t read many Sci-fi Multiverse Space books, but let me tell you I was hooked in right away! The author takes such care building the characters up between book 1 & 2 that you can picture these three college friends (Matt, Julia, and Dan) joking around and poking fun at each other. He connects them in a way that shows you their friendship and how they handle their hardships together along their journey that it grabs you and you can’t wait to see who does what next! You don’t NEED to read book one before you read this book, BUT I really recommend reading it!!. Book one shows you so much about each character, their species, each of their journeys, and much of their training and abilities being learned and used throughout both books. I’m not going to spoil anything but I enjoyed all the details brought to life in this set. I can picture some of the scenes like they were on cavus. You can tell that the author really put time in building each character, the worlds and scenes, the spacecrafts and their technologies, and even the knowledge behind the teachings and meditations. Again I haven’t read many books of this type, so some of the space lingo I was new to, but I picked it up pretty fast and I’m so glad that I did. You will love this journey and the race to save the world and more. Will these college friends, with the help of others, save everyone in time? Will they survive all their trails along the way? Or will they fail and doom multiple worlds? Buckle up for a Journey through space and time!!

Journeys Through TimeSpace by James Talisman is exactly the ‘more’ that I wanted from book one of the series!! I was super excited to be able to see some of my favorite characters brought back and learn more about their past, present and future!
This is a complex book that you will not be able to put down. I read this book twice! The amount of detail the author was able to give readers with stories that jump back and forth was risky but it truly paid off. It had me hooked. I cannot wait to read more from this author!

This story just keeps on getting better. Books two picks up where book one left off. The three friends have a strong friendship that help them go through all of the life and death situations. Will these three be able to save the world from the invaders? If you like danger, time-travel, and of course adventure, then you need to read this book. You should read the first book first to get to know characters and their back stories.

The battle between good and evil continues in this second novel by James Talisman.
I do recommend starting with the first book to gain some deeper levels of the characters before diving into this one, however it’s not mandatory and I could certainly have enjoyed this book as a stand-alone.
Readers will now begin to experience more detailed layers of the power in the All That Is explored through the theme of unity vs selfishness.
I loved following the fabulous trio of main characters through their journey of self discovery. They will literally travel through periods of time on Earth to collect pieces of an artifact that will be instrumental in protecting the planet.
Simultaneously, a violent reptilian race travels through space towards Earth with a new destructive power unlike anything before. Will the trio pass the challenges before them in time to save the planet?
If you love a good sci-fi novel that will touch on some of the most interesting time periods in our history, you will love Journeys Though TimeSpace.

This is the second book in the the Journeys Through series by James Talisman but it could definitely be read as a stand alone. I enjoyed this latest addition in the series more than the first and couldn’t put it down. The time travel parts were really interesting and engaging, and I really enjoyed the development of the characters from the previous book. Can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

I enjoyed Journeys Through Timespace as much as I enjoyed book 1. This being not my typical genre, I was worried going outside of my comfort zone. I’m still glad I did. I really enjoy the back stories of the characters; it helps you understand and feel like you personally know them. The way the Journeys Through series is written is unique. I don’t think I have read anything quite like this. There are still a lot of characters, but James Talisman makes it easy to keep who is who straight. I love how book 2 advances the story of the characters. I’m excited for the rest of the series to be released.

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is the first installment in James’s Journeys Through series.
As a reader who does not often read sci-fi, I, actually, really enjoyed this book. Although there are quite a few characters and different points of view to follow at the beginning and it is a bit confusing, I enjoyed the character building and how it kept my attention and, in the end, all came together.
The story had a very interesting plot and I enjoyed how the author brought all the characters together.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. I cannot wait to read the second installment Journeys Through TimeSpace.

This is a great follow-up to Journeys through SpaceTime. Talisman’s level of detail, and ability to make connections in these works is incredible. It must have taken him so long to map this work out! Sci-Fi lovers will revel in the twists and turns this book takes, and the painstakingly drawn characters we get to know. With such a large cast of characters, I don’t know how he manages to create such distinct voices.
I think I enjoyed this 2nd book even more than Book 1. It took me awhile to get my head around the multitude of characters, themes, and overlaps in the first one. This time ’round, I had an *idea* what to expect, and I could sit back and enjoy it more. Well done!

This book picked up where the first ended. The special trio has to save the world but before they can do that, there is still training to be done. Travelling to Nepal, they trek on foot to a hidden place deep in a valley. It is a place of higher learning and some may call magic. Continuing their education in the All That Is, they learn that they can do incredible things. To gather the pieces they need to save the world, they must travel through time. Their adventures are fraught with danger and perilous tasks. With evil lurking on the horizon, can Michael, Julie and Dan accomplish their goals to save all of mankind?
I enjoyed this book better than the first. There were less characters therefore the author was able to concentrate more on the story. The story is interesting and unique. Fans of sci/fi and Dr. Who will love this book. I do recommend that you read the first part to fully comprehend this book.

I had a hard time reading this story because of the jump between characters, however this is just a personal preference. The details that the author included with each character’s story was amazing, and therefore I still gave this book 5 stars. I really loved the characters Queen Neferities and Thoran. However, I was able to predict how things were going to turn out with them and her brother. I can’t wait to read the 2nd story, because I am also eager to see what happens with Matt, Julia, and Dan’s story.

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Mr. Talisman has me hooked. I can’t wait to read the next book.
There are so many characters so it was hard to choose the quotes. Two that stuck out were characters from different worlds. Or different parts of the MultiVerse.
The first quote comes from Matt. He’s a college student in Colorado. The quote I chose for Matt is: “Doubt that, buddy. You seemed to be the one taking a beating earlier.”
The other quote comes from Queen Neferities. Part of another part of The MultiVerse. The quote I chose for Queen Neferities is: “I would like some time to think about your request. I will ask Aderan to arrange accommodations for you and Thoran while I spend a few days pondering your entreaty.”
Highly recommended for Fantasy Sci-fi lovers.

Journey Through Time Space by James Talisman is another amazing book! This one is soooo much better than the first one and I did not think it was possible. The characters are so well developed which makes it possible to fall in love with the characters and to truly feel their plights and journeys. I so appreciated the metaphysical journey each character went through but especially Julia and Matt. I highlighted several passages as they rang with much truth that spoke to my soul. The Seat-of-Power described so perfectly the energy that one can harness and use for the best of intentions. “There are seven important principles that embody all of creation. These powerful truths are available to be learned and used by anyone.” Powerful statement! I found myself reading the truths and comparing my journey as to where I am in my journey and what to look forward to. Can I just say that reading the book has expanded my own discovery of self and the magic and power within me? We are truly all connected through time and space. I loved that this book picked up right from the ending of the first in the book and I was absolutely amazed at the ending (no spoilers here). Do yourself a favor and read this book! I have read other books on spiritual journeys, metaphysical ideas, and the outer connectedness that we all are a part of, but this book really delves into al these topics but within a superb story that makes it understandable and provides the desire within to delve deeper into myself and my powers. Read this book! Set your intentions, connect to the source of All-That-Is, and tap into your Higher Self for guidance, love, and the magic which resides in all of us. The power is within you.

The second installment by James Talisman is a fantasy masterpiece. It starts you off in the middle of the action where the first book ended and keeps you yearning for more. It draws you in to want to keep reading just to find out what happens next.
It continues following the journey of the three young college students who were destined to find each other and complete this journey to discover their higher destiny. Will they be able to master their gifts and complete their predetermined destiny? On the opposite side is a secret group that serves master Hades and yet for some reason in this book his followers are not able to communicate with him. But then a new character comes into play that serves to take Hades’ place. In this new storytelling of good versus evil who will prevail? Will this new character bring success or destruction?
I am not usually a science fiction fan but the character development and story telling in this book drew me in right from page 1. I just had to keep reading to find out what happens next and if you’re interested in a new read then I encourage you to take this journey too.

This is Book #2 in the “Journeys Through TimeSpace” series. It would be extremely helpful to read Book #1 to establish the identities and backstories of the characters in this book, b/c Book #2 picks up right where Book #1 left off.
Matt, Julia, and Dan are young people recruited to the Lighthouse Collective, for whom Matt’s parents also work. Matt is suspected to have great potential, with the correct training, which he will receive in Nepal. So the threesome set out for Nepal. Matt’s parents are involved in the effort to protect the Earth from possible invasion by others in the Multiverse. We also are re-introduced the Disciples of Hades and their member, Thomas Halloway IV, and the reptilian humanoids from elsewhere in the Multiverse.
Will the groups make strange bedfellows to defend the Earth from the alien invaders? Will Matt learn enough in time to save the Earth? Read it and see. I’ll rate it three stars, b/c the sex scenes are a bit graphic for me and some of the language used by the author doesn’t seem to match the situation, eg feeling informal when it should be more formal for the scene. If you like imaginative world building, or if you like the “Back to the Future” movie series, you may like this story.

James Talisman took this non Sci/fi reader with his first book and turned her into a fan. He further developed that with yet another fantastic, creative adventure in Journeys Through TimeSpace. This author is a truly creative and talented writer who makes you feel apart of the journey taken in the book, each and every step of the way.
I have tried to write this review multiple times today, not because I disliked the book, truthfully I love it but because each time I felt like I was giving too much of the story away. I was just raving on way too much! So instead I will just say, if you love creative writing with wonderful characters, vivid worlds, action, time travelling and of course a multiverse then get reading this book NOW!!!! seriously get reading NOW!!!!

‘Journeys Through SpaceTime’ by James Talisman marks the first entry of his ‘Journeys Through…’ series and follows six protagonists across different realms in the MultiVerse as they’re all suddenly called to action by a mysterious force against an all-encompassing evil. Talisman’s passion bleeds through the pages- there is evident love channelled into each and every one of his characters, themes and particularly, worlds. The world-building in ‘Journeys Through Spacetime’ is by far its greatest strength. As the book takes place across the literal MultiVerse, there is a tall-order on the author to ensure that the logic of their universes are consistent and to craft worlds that stretch the limits of human imagination, given that essentially anything is possible. Talisman, however, does not fail to deliver in this department- each of the realms that the six protagonists hail from are unique with different social structures and norms and are interesting and engaging to read about. There is just enough familiarity to these worlds for readers not to feel out of their depth or lost but not too much so as to quash the distinct spark that each of them has and to lose the audience’s interest. Since the book juggles multiple, it was always a treat to plunge to each of these realms- each chapter or segment serving as a nugget into the life and times of the outlined societies and their inhabitants.
Talisman also uses the book as a vehicle to disseminate ancient, esoteric wisdoms and traditions. It is shaded with considerable philosophical nuance and blended with deep, thought-provoking concepts of the collective and connected consciousness and ideas of one within many. It is clear that Talisman has taken a great deal of care into researching these notions- notions that are woven into the story’s fabric seamlessly and in a manner that isn’t jarring or doesn’t take the reader out of the story. Drawing wisdoms and customs from multiple sources, Talisman has truly designed something one-of-a-kind as building blocks to construct an unparalleled, extraordinary story that has all the strangeness, bizarreness and ingenuity one would expect of a tale spanning the MultiVerse.
Trying to write a good protagonist is no easy feat, let alone six, and yet Talisman manages to do this also. Like the worlds they come from, each of the main characters are different and distinct with their own histories, motives and personalities. There is no weak link in the colourful cast- you never feel cheated when you switch and suddenly begin to follow another because they’re all fascinating in their own right. The hero’s journey is hard enough to properly do once, but it somehow is written multiple times in relation to each of the protagonists in a way that doesn’t feel repetitive or stale. You feel the emotions along with the characters- riding their highs and successes and slumming it with them as they hit their lows and failures.
In conclusion, if you’re in the mood for compelling characters all connected by a single thread as they’re dragged into an adventure spanning space and time, then ‘Journeys Through SpaceTime’ is the book for you.

Journeys Through TimeSpace by James Talisman was an exciting read as we follow Matthew, Julia, and Dan, in their attempt to save the world. I enjoyed this second book much more than I did the first. It was evident that James found the writing style that fit this book. I enjoyed following the different adventures between Matt, Julia, and Dan and their growth to learn their new abilities. I found that much of the book revolved around these three and their travels, I wish there was more character development in some of the other key players. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys scifi as well as mystery and adventure. I also recommend reading the first book to find out who the characters are and their importance.

This book took me roughly 2 weeks to read and I really did enjoy the overall story and diverse worlds and characters portrayed. The MultiVerse in this book encompassed stories from some interesting and very diverse worlds including but not limited to reptilian humanoids set on destruction, unlikely human heroes and celestial beings with concepts based on real physics and ideology w/ the fantastic twist we all love from a good sci-fi novel.
I found the characters to be sincerely likeable and relatable which is a feat seeing as most of the worlds are very diverse from our own reality. Strangely enough, the characters I had the hardest time getting behind and liking were the Earth characters. They seemed too formal and rigid for modern day college kids. The relationship between Matt and Julia (how many times can two people say the word ‘babe’ – too many!) just seemed overly formal and forced.
I enjoyed how the many worlds and scenarios all connect on some level and the ending was a good one, which is really important to me. I look forward to reading the next book in this series and expect I’ll enjoy that one just as much. Really interested to see how it all shakes out and what the culmination of the myriad of stories will look like.
I’d rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. The stories were great, it’s just the rigid Earthlings that threw it off a little for me. I’d recommend this book to anyone looking for a good quick sci-fi read that’s multifaceted and complex but still allows for easy and enjoyable reading. I would recommend getting to know the characters a bit ahead of time. The author does a great job of providing lists of the worlds and characters at the beginning of the book which is super helpful because it can get confusing if you just jump right in without a good overview of what it is you’re diving into.

Will they be able to crush the plans and save the world as we know it? you will have to find out.
This is the second book in this series and does not disappoint, this books picks straight from the first book and looks at trying to stop the plans which are due to take place. Each earth student needs to go to their different realms to try and help to save the multi realities. Can they stop the plans and be successful in their journeys, you will have to read to find out.
This story is full of thrilling and twists and will have you drawn in from the first words on the page. I would recommend reading the first book as there is a lot information which if you are coming into fresh into this book may have you a tough time following but stay with them as it is a brilliant ride in your imagination.
This is not my usual genre to read but the author has built a world of pure imagination and what ifs that has you engaged from the beginning, I have to say as in the first book there is a lot of information to digest but this only enhances the story and the characters within the story.
Can’t wait to read more.

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.
