A sci-fi fantasy lengthy novel with very detailed characters and scenarios within the multiverse facets. These stories I definitely had to give them a try. I will admit I was a bit intimidated but after reading the synopsis, I had to at least give it a try and I’m so glad that I did. This novel collection is three separate books that tie into together. There is a helpful character list that helps you recall the significance within the story. Each of the stories build off of one another so it is quite important to pay attention to details but I was honestly very engaged in the storyline that it did help along the way. Journeys Through SpaceTime introduces the many diverse characters involved as each part of their own entity and roles, they encounter a strong internal connection that serves as a motivation yet concerning message to all. From there, they must see which one of them will prevail. Then in Journeys Through TimeSpace, the battle for Earth’s fate is soon approaching and as new skills and awareness is being tackled, they must do whatever it takes to be prepared for battles. Lastly in Journeys Through AllCreation, is the culmination and without reading the previous two, it can be a bit difficult to follow.

The first book was definitely harder to get in to than I first anticipated. But once I got use to how all the characters were being introduced, I really started to get into it. I found these stories hard to put down and was able to read them quicker than I initially thought. Mr. Talisman did a wonderful job, not only with the character building but the multiple worlds building. I was able to visualize what I was reading and picture myself a part of his story. I had my favorite characters, but really enjoyed them all. I would definitely recommend this series, whether you enjoy this genre or not. I hope to read more from this author in the future.

The first book, Journeys Through SpaceTime, falls a bit flat. There was no emotion or connection to the characters. I felt like I was watching movie scenes instead of reading a book. The change in viewpoints consistently was confusing. There were viewpoints that I liked and some that I did not. It was nice when the story switched to the characters, I was most interested in. It was like reading five different books and hard to remember it all. I was confused by how it was all connected, when I reached the end of the book it was not any clearer.
The second book, Journeys Through TimeSpace, is much better and starts to help connect a few missing dots. Instead of being all over the place we are focused on saving the Earth with Matt and his friend, Dan, and girlfriend, Julia. The secret societies add to the story instead of taking away because they have the information needed to save Earth. My favorite part is when Matt, Dan, and Julia time travel to different lives that they have previously lived throughout time. The few cuts to the enemy reptilian species add to the suspense, starting with them gaining the power to destroy Earth. It helps to put more tension or pressure on the main characters.
The third book, Journeys Through AllCreation, helped to further connect the dots. It starts two years after our last adventure. One of the characters from the first book turns out to be Matts’ twin in his past life and they must save the MultiVerse. Another of the viewpoints that we haven’t heard since book one comes back into play. Still one of my biggest issues is that ideas that I need (or like to be) explained are not. Yet almost everything about the characters is explained instead of shown. It all comes down to this… Can Matt again save Earth when the stakes are even higher this time?

This was a great sci-fi series. The first book we were introduced to all the characters in an interesting way. The second and third books were different from the information drop. These books were fast to medium pace and held my interest through out them. Can’t wait to see what is next for our heroes!

This book is completely different from what I normally read but I wanted a palate cleanser, so to speak. Plus, it is a boxed set and I am a sucker for series and collections. Let’s start this by saying that this collection will take you on an incredible journey that flows really well from book to book. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this but I was so pleasantly surprised by the way the author took certain aspects of everyday ideas and used them to give you a different view into things or to expand what you already thought you knew. It was a fresh take on things like spirituality, time travel, wisdoms of the world, connections through multiverses, and character development through each book while maintaining mysterious twists and turns. Since, I am not the most educated in Sci Fi, I was not sure how easily I would be able to follow the books or be able to get into the story. It is amazing how the author makes it easy for readers like me to follow along and get just as swept up into the story as if this genre was my normal go to genre. I was intimidated at first because I felt like there was going to be a lot of things that I would have to keep going back to read over just to make sure I don’t forget anything. That is not the case with this collection. The way the author makes sure that things are intricately written but yet in laymen terms make the books even better, in my opinion. I was able to visualize the creativity of the authors words and actually feel what the characters were feeling. This collection has inspired me to read more Sci Fi because I thoroughly enjoyed them. I feel like if you are just starting in Sci Fi or been around reading it for a while this collection would be a great to add.

Shortly after venturing into this series, I found myself drawn in and invested in the storyline and characters. I’ll admit, I had a hard time wrapping my brain around the whole multiverse concept, but that says more about my limited attention span, and nothing negative about this author. He truly did an outstanding job of weaving a complex MULTIVERSE, filled with interesting characters, beautiful scenery, and a web of different stories that interconnect beautifully. Kudos for including the character list, so us scatterbrained readers can keep track of the numerous characters. One day, I hope to read this series through again, so I can give it the time and attention that it deserves.

The Journeys Through Collection starts off with Journeys Through SpaceTime. In the first installment, five entirely different beings from five different universes are contacted by an unexpected guest. The beings are expected to use their abilities to thwart evil and work together. Will the five beings be able to save everyone from the evil that is coming or do their differences cause them to fail? In the second installment, Journeys Through TimeSpace, a new battle exists on Earth where three friends must prevail to save the planet, by using time travel. With the help of some friends, will they succeeded in learning how to time travel, or will evil win? In the final installment, Journeys Through AllCreation, Earth and other universes are in danger of being destroyed by a diabolical and powerful being who plans to destroy multiple universes that make up the MultiVerse. Twins from Atlantis must save the MultiVerse, but they cannot without the help of a queen with magical powers. Will the twins succeed, or will evil prevail? Find the answers to all of the questions in Journeys Through Collection. All of the characters are relatable and the feelings are real. James Talisman does a fantastic job of making the reader feel like they are in the story. I was able to imagine the story the entire time. The Journeys Through Collection is full of different characters, universes, danger, thrill, time travel, and so much more. At first it is a little difficult navigating through the universes and keeping track of the characters, but it does not take long to get the hang of it. Each scene is portrayed beautifully and takes the reader to different worlds. Overall, Journeys Through Collection is a fantastic read full of suspense, science fiction, fantasy, twists and turns, and so much more that I cannot possibly list in one review. I did not want to put the book down and kept wanting more. I am sad that it is over but I am so happy that I picked it up. If you are looking for a unique read, do not hesitate to pick this collection up!

I have loved this series so much! I really really enjoy the authors writing style and how they know what they are writing about. It is such a great story and is something I can see actually happening in reality one day. I definitely recommend reading the whole series and in order to best understand the story. This one is written from Sera and Caitlyn’s point of view on their adventures making new discoveries. I was up late reading this book as I did not want to put it down needing to know what happened next. There is action and new love along with more into the back story of the characters. This story took many unexpected turns. To say I am looking forward to the other stories is an understatement!

Reading theJourneys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman for the first time although it’s not my usual cup of tea. I wanted to give it a try, the artwork on the cover really drew me in. I found I really enjoyed reading this book. The author James Talisman is a terrific storyteller and multi-world builder, really has an eye for details. I really like how it has a list of all the characters just in case you need to remember who’s who while reading. That way you don’t have to flip through the pages to find them.
Ps i love the dedication at the beginning it was super sweet pps i have always wanted to learn krav maga.
Coming back to continue reading the Journeys Through series and seeing what the amazing characters have in store for them and I was not disappointed. I’m glad to have started such a gripping series. I still can’t believe how he keeps you reading non stop, really captivates you. Also like i said before it’s truly amazing how good he is with the details, like keeping track of everything with the different characters lol i would have so many plot holes. I still don’t know which ones are my favorites yet. I would highly recommend reading.
Man, I just got done reading the third book of the Journeys Through series. No lie, I started and finished all three books in 3 days. It would have been done sooner if I could read faster. I thought it was going to take longer but these books are real page turners with in depth detail and intense adventures. I think my favorite characters might have to be the earthlings Matt and Julia. I also liked the author’s take on the Atlanteans. They have been a favorite of mine since reading about them years ago.I will highly recommend reading but buckle your seat belt, you’re in for a ride lol I can’t wait for more. Fingers crossed.
These books brings out such interesting perspectives on different things. They draw you in in the very beginning and keep you going with a certain air of mystery. They can get a little overwhelming with all the different characters and information but by the end you understand and get who is who. There is strong characters and great content that make all of these books well worthwhile. It has a certain classic good vs evil theme and is very enlightening. They definitely make you think about things.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I never hesitate to pick up this author’s books as I know that I am in for an adventure. This book is no different. This is a well written story where the author used details to make the story come to life. The characters pulled me into the story from the start. They took me on an adventure of new worlds and survival of a human race is at risk. I enjoyed watching the growth of the plot as well as the characters. It added to the enjoyment and entertainment of the story. This is a fast paced story that I found hard to put down. I enjoyed the adventure and I highly recommend this book.

Simons – Review by Bobbi Wagner
This is the 6th book in the Antipodes Series and it is definately one you need to read from the beginning. I have read them all and I have loved reading about the characters how their lives have changed and they have grown as well as all the challenges, loves, loss and danger along the way and this next installment is no different.
This story is following Caitlin and Seraphine. Both of these girls have been born with one specific role in life. To have babies and continue to populate the domes with people who have a better immunity to the disease that killed so many people. Because of their genetics any offspring then have will also carry the same genes and immunity. But what happens when you don’t want to follow the path that has been laid out for you. Why can’t you just be your own person following your own dreams and desires wherever it may lead you? This is exactly the situation that Caitlin and Seraphine find themselves in. Their journey is one full of danger, conflict and love as well as secrets that will be revealed. The question is what would you do if it was a choice between your happiness or saving your whole community? This is what our 2 girls need to work out and it’s no easy task as they are challenged at every turn. We meet new characters and see new worlds all the while witnessing the growth of Caitlin and Seraphine. This is one sci-fi adventure that will keep you turning pages until the end.

This author has again done an extraordinary job of adding to this series. Continuing with the story of Cait and Sera and the communities around them, she gives us adventures and drama. Again, what would you do if survival of everyone were put on your shoulders? The characters are written so well. They all blend into the story so nice. Cait and Sera make a perfect team. They each bring their own personalities and gifts. I can’t wait to read the next book. This is one of my favorite series and I’m glad to see more on the horizon. This plot just sucks you in from book 1 and you don’t want to leave ever.

Simons – Review by Shelly Kittell
Brilliant! This series is one of my favourite sci-fi series and just goes from strength to strength. The 45th Parallel is the sixth book in the Antipodes series but is more of a spin-off. This book follows Cait and Sera, children of the main characters from previous books, as they navigate the new world. Discoveries are made, lives are threatened and ambitions are questioned. Each of the characters has depth and it was great to see characters from the previous books through the eyes of others. This series needs to be read from the start to really appreciate the dystopian world that the author has created. Highly recommend.

The 45th Parallel is the sixth book in the Antipodes series by T.S. Simons. This story actually extends the original Antipodes series, which I thought had finished with the previous book- so colour me happy! As with the rest of the series, this is a post-apocalyptic, sci-fi story with a dystopian feel, some romance, adventure, danger, drama, challenges, surprising developments, tension, mystery, and plenty of emotion. Wow- if I thought the original five books were intense, then this takes things to a whole new level. So much has happened throughout the Antipodes adventure since it started way back in Book One- but things aren’t going to settle down any time soon as Ms. Simons hasn’t finished putting her characters to the test. Here, we follow Cait, Sera, and their community of survivors as this new adventure embarks- discovering new worlds, and encountering dangerous situations will put them and all those they love at extreme risk. What happens makes for a thrilling read. Looking forward to seeing what the next couple of books have in store for us! Happy Reading!

Simons – Review by Angela Hayes
We have been on bit of a journey with the five books in the Antipodes Series, Antipodes, The Liminal Space, Ouroboros, Caim, and Sessrumnir. I thought I had said goodbye. Now we have The 45th Parallel which is an extension on the Antipodes series. The 45th Parallel is a Sci Fi romance that has emotions running high. It is an even bigger journey that could have long standing effects for everyone. It is easy to get lost in the story and become invested in the characters and the journey they are on with new worlds and new characters. There is one thing I have learnt from reading TS’s books and that is expect the unexpected and that is why her books don’t become stale. There is always something new and exciting that comes to light. What would you do if the survival of everything rests on your shoulders? Would you do your duty, or would you want to live your life? I am not going to give away any spoilers but will say start with the Antipodes series and work your way through to this book. If you don’t then you are really missing out. I can’t wait to read the other books in this new series, Orenda, and Bifrost.

I love Sci-fi romance novels; this one is no different. It was entertaining, fast paced and really keeps the reader hooked. The author also does a good job of the reader being invested in the characters written. You really are rooting for them. It does end in a cliff-hanger so be prepared to want more to read asap. I really hope more comes soon.

I am absolutely blown away by this magnificent collection! It is easily the best collection I have read in the past year. The author has put in an amazing amount of detail that paints such a vivid story. Even with the thorough characters and background, this entire collection is easy to follow, and it feels more like experiencing everything IN the story instead of just being an outsider looking in. I quite enjoy sci-fi and adventure, but this feels almost like a whole new genre of its own. It is uniquely original in the greatest possible way. The author weaves a number of subjects seamlessly into these books, such as spirituality, mystery, the multiverse, suspense, sci-fi, time travel, and more. I can’t wait to see what we are in for next and will be watching closely for anything else from this author. highly recommend picking up this entire collection and getting completely absorbed into James Talisman’s world!

It comes as a box set Who! I mean who wouldn’t love that!? Don’t have to wait till the next to find out what happens here.
These books are sci-fi, adventure and the very first one is his debut. The way he writes it you know he loved writting each word and he has a passion for it. The characters are many but varied, if that makes sense. There are tons of species, and races and worlds you can visit and is amazing with your imagination. His writing is very detailed, makes it seem you are right there with the characters. In every scene and everything.
The concept of All-That-Is is intriguing and many would say complex. I may have had to re-read a few words. That being said I look forward to seeing what James comes up with next.
Come read this book especially if you like sci-fi one of many a good book.
Book two It is an adventure where the story is multi layered and complex with a lot going on with so many characters Every word that is written keeps you wanting more. Gives you something to think about. In this book the characters are tasked with finding a treasure that is coveted and is shrouded in mystery and age-old in time.
Another good read.
The writer is really coming across with some really good sci-fi writing and this is his third boon. It has a lot of layers and its very complex and just keeps the tale going. Not just one thing going on but alot with so many characters. It makes you again seem like you are in the book and doing everything with the characters. Need to make sure you understand and don’t be afraid to re-read something to understand it. This was one of the good sci-fi books i could read.

I think this is my first multi-verse read ever! I mean I guess I have read books before that touched upon and mentioned multi-verses but never one that I was actively reading throughout multi-verses. This was so up my daughter’s alley, and I couldn’t wait for her to join in on the adventure.
Now Mr. James Talisman, I just need to state this right here and right now, My husband is NOT a reader, we have been together for 20 years and the most I have ever seen him read is captions on video games, I have never seen him pick up a book or even a comic. I started reading this to him and he said for the first time EVER he could envision what was being read to him. So guess what I found him doing one day, reading on my kindle! Happiest day of this readers life! I’m not a writer but if I was I would think this would be the highest compliment.
All 3 books brought a new adventure. I love reading series, I love that there is always a book to grab when you finish the one before, but I often find I really dislike at least one book out of the series. The Journeys through Collection was completely different I thoroughly enjoyed each one. I hope to read more from James Talisman soon (and I hope to see my husband reading too).

This is the third book in the series and picked up where book two left off. It reads well as a stand alone but would recommend reading the first two books in the series. The plot is well thought out and the characters are diverse and interesting! The pages are filled with such detail that the story comes to life and you just can’t put the book down. That’s plenty of action to keep the reader engaged in the story. The author left the ending in a way that makes me think there will be more to this story. I’m looking forward to more books!

This box set contains the first three books in the series. You can enjoy the box set because you can binge read all three at once. It is an interesting way the author used different POV on t story to progress the multiverse plot. The author includes a character list to help you keep track of who-is-who. There is also considerable research done by the author in the mystical and metaphysical components of the stories. This helps add depth and dimension! These books are thought provoking and will make you think while reading the novels.

This is book two in the Journeys Through series. I like how the reptilian human hybrids are continued in this story and reminds me of Ancient Aliens with an agenda! This novel is easier to read now that I read the first one and could follow the storyline and the characters better. We pick up right where book one left off and this book also reads well as a stand alone. The continued adventure into the multiverse will have you turning the page to see what happens in the battle. The plot is multi-layered and adds complexity to the plot. I found myself turning the pages to see what would happen next. Book three will be even better!

The first book, Journey Through Spacetime, the reader is introduced to different empires throughout the multiverse. You have a mix of cultures and alien species having a similar experience that leads them to the call to adventure. The author includes a list of characters at the beginning of the novel. This helps the reader when navigating between worlds in the story. It was confusing at first when reading the novel. It felt like as I was getting into the story, we switched worlds and narrative. As I continued to read Journey Through SpaceTime, it was easier to follow the storyline. I did enjoy the several references to the mystical and metaphysical. It helped bring the plot together. The characters were fleshed out and I felt like I could cheer them on their journey to save the multiverse.

A mysterious being of immense power and wisdom appears in the minds of inhabitants across the vast MultiVerse of space and time to provide both warning and encouragement to fellow souls.
An exciting journey of adventure and discovery develop for these inhabitants as a sword master’s son, a powerfully enlightened Queen, a skilled warrior, an “ordinary” college student from Earth, a reptilian humanoid scientist, and a wise and beautiful leader of a utopian world use newly acquired knowledge and skills to battle evil forces intent on ensuring reality forms as they intend.
Puzzlement ensues as special mentors appear and seem to defy what reality means. Wielding godlike powers, these teachers help illuminate the secrets of all creation.
With the fate of the entire MultiVerse at stake, which side will become the victor in the end?
Journeys Through TimeSpace
As a powerful leader of a planet in the vast MultiVerse of time and space begins preparations for implementing his plan, young former college students from Earth are dispatched to a magical hidden place in the Himalayas to begin their own preparations.
Each side of this battle for the fate of Earth and her inhabitants must secure ancient treasures. Immense obstacles confront both sides as they work to obtain these powerful artifacts.
Not only must our young Earth heroes learn new knowledge and skills associated with ancient wisdom traditions, but they must travel to both Earth’s past and future to find the treasures needed to defend their world against a powerful enemy.
Secret Earth organizations are also players in this thrilling adventure. These ancient groups have been adversaries for hundreds of years. Their long-term battle becomes intense as Earth’s fate draws closer.
As the clock ticks, can Earth’s defenders succeed, or will the powerful reptilian humanoid leader and his followers achieve their plan for reality across the MultiVerse of time and space?
Journeys Through AllCreation
An ancient prophecy foretells the diabolical plans of an exceedingly intelligent and powerful being. To ensure reality continues to unfold as desired, the ‘god’ entity will utilize the innate powers contained in the Dokkaebi-of-all-Creation to destroy various universes that make up the MultiVerse.
Celestial beings most capable of stopping these plans for destruction become trapped in an alternate reality. Can they escape this illusion before their fates are sealed forever?
Former twins from the lost continent of Atlantis will play pivotal roles in countering the threat of total annihilation for untold numbers of lives across the MultiVerse. Will they be able to help save their current home worlds and the mentors who have taught them so much?
A beautiful and enlightened queen is enlisted in the team’s quest to find an ancient artifact that could assist them in locating the Master Mage. This wizard is their only real hope for defeating the former celestial leader. Can this strange and unassuming being provide what is needed?
While the outcome cannot be fully predicted from the discovered text and images, both sides prepare for an inevitable confrontation as the ancient prophecy plays out. As ‘gods’ and mortals face off in the battle for the future of all creation, which ideals and forces will reign supreme?
James enjoys mountain biking, traveling, spending wonderful family time with his wife and daughter, and truly experiencing this reality we all share. He also values his extended family and great friends.
As an avid student and explorer of ancient wisdom traditions, he wrote the Journeys Through books to convey ancient concepts through the time honored tradition of story-telling. As the first story progressed, James found a true joy in writing fiction and bringing characters and their worlds to life and plans to continue writing more stories.

This book is quite outside of my normal read, but still an experience nevertheless. It takes on a military sci-fi theme that goes deep into the technology and weapon information but stops short of character development and feels shallow in other areas as well.
Quick chapters and variable level of depth led me to struggle with this book. Good concepts stretched thin in some areas and loss of interest in others. Good concepts with shaking delivery.

This book gives a look at what the world could look like. It follows a group of people after a sickness has swept through the world and changed people to a zombie like state. The more you read the more sinister it gets. Be prepared for twists and turns and excitement. The main characters are relatable and very lovable.

This book presents a very different take on dystopian books than the ones I have read in the past. I struggled to get through the first few chapters because it was scientific and slow to start. However, the book picks up fairly quickly and is action-packed, full of twists and turns. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

The story is very well written and you get to follow the timeline through various characters so when you get done, it’s almost like reading 4 different stories. The characters are defined very well and although this is sci-fi, it feels like it could actually happen.
