This is the second book in this series and it is just as good as the first one if not better. It is a well written story that took me on an adventure of a race against time. The characters made the story feel realistic and engaging. I was pulled into this book right from the beginning and hard a time putting it down until the end. I highly recommend this book. Who will win a dark fate or will the defenders beat the clock and get the win they deserve?

Journey through Spacetime ( Journeys through book1) By James Talismen
“A mysterious voice is heard in the minds of inhabitants across multiple worlds within the vast MultiVerse of space and time…”

What a great book, If fantasy is your thing this is the book for you! Mr.Talisman really has a way of pulling into the story with his writing. Truly a great fantasy story it was a little slow going for me in the beginning but was definitely worth reading. Following all the characters through the Story is very exciting and makes you want to keep reading. The further in you get the more you want to read. I enjoyed learning about the different worlds as well as the different characters and what they can do.

Despite the book being on the shorter side, I enjoy very long books. It feels like you’ve been through a long journey and understand more about the many worlds introduced in this book. James does a great job intertwining the Characters and worlds together even though initially they all seem different. James has a great writing style that’s complex but easy to follow and understand. I’d be very interested to read more from James as I enjoyed his style writing of this book.

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.

Journeys Through SpaceTime was a great 5 star read and book one in the Journey’s Through series. This is my first read from James Talisman and he did a great job with his debut book.

You get pulled right in and get to know all of the different characters. We get different worlds and timelines as well. It took a little bit of time for me to get to know everyone and what was going on, the more I got into the story the more I liked it. Each of the characters are connected in one way, they have a voice that speaks to them and they are each facing some dangerous issues in their worlds. I almost felt like I was reading multiple stories in one book.

Overall this was a good read and it’s amazing the worlds that James came up with and the characters. If you like science fiction you will love this book. All of the characters added a great element to the story and there are some that I would love to see more from. 1-click and get started today.

Starting off the year reading a great fantasy books has been awesome. The storyline setup is a page turner . You are Immersed into the story and before you even half way through the book your already saying this isn’t a stand alone there has to be a book 2 !! Overall the story is fantastic, the characters are written very well no character got lost in the storyline. I really like the build up of the characters and as your read the book your viewpoints start to change or get stronger with different Characters of the book. You start to understand their strengths and what drives them. I recommend this book to my son and I’m going to read it again with him. It’s a great read for adults and teens who enjoy fantasy. My last thoughts this is a great read and I recommend this book.

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman. Are you looking for something unique and that can take you away on an adventure from the real world? Look no further because that’s exactly what you’ll be getting with this incredible story. This story had me completely captivated from start to finish. The author knows how to write a story that had me lost in a fantasy world that I didn’t want to leave. The characters are complex and well developed even the smallest details are taken seriously. This book will definitely be on my mind for a while. While I loved it I was sad when I ended it so I’m excited to see what this author comes out with next. This is a new to me author but it definitely won’t be the last book I’ll be getting. The storyline it well written and paced nicely. Five stars all the way and highly recommended.

This is a sci-fi/fantasy in which there are multiple storylines following different characters in different universes, realities and timelines. Each is very different and draws on various ancient mythologies which I really enjoyed. Although confusing to follow, I appreciated having to engage more with the story. I also liked the world-building, which was extremely complex, although it was at times more descriptive and wordy than immersive. The ending was definitely action-packed, and the weaving of the story becomes clear in the way the end is tied up but leaves you wanting more.

Journeys Through SpaceTime is an exceptionally in-depth, complex story that takes you on a journey through multiple worlds and times. You get a clear, vivid picture of each world and of all the characters as you delve into this mysterious novel. I struggled with finding the connections at times, but thoroughly enjoyed reading about each of the characters separately and getting to know them and the fantastical worlds they lived in. I would honestly love to see this broken down into one book for each world, and then tie the worlds together in a final book! There is so much to learn about each world and the characters within that I think this would definitely be doable!

This is not a quick read. You need to allow yourself at least a week to travel on this journey in order to really grasp the concepts depicted and keep each world straight in your mind. You will probably want to read it more than once as there is a lot going on! Loads of action, mystery, deceit, magic, and an abundance of thought provoking narrative that will have your brain working overtime! While this is not normally my genre of choice, if you are a fan of sci-fi and multiverse theory, this one will definitely hold your interest from beginning to end! You can most definitely tell this author is very passionate about this subject matter!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Journeys through SpaceTime is a collection of stories running through parallel universes. Each story happens in one realm, and each story has the protagonist, the antagonist and an invisible force connecting them all, encouraging the protagonist to believe or remember his/her powers to fight against the evil. The focus shifts from one realm to another, we come across kings and queens of Egyptian empire, the vassals of the Roman empire, people from the Utopian empire and then humans of the current Earth. The book spans across different characters in multiple universes and in each universe, there is this good character, trying to battle the evil forces in any way they can.
It is a very ambitious sci/fi project with lots of details, and definitely not an easy read. There are too many characters and too many worlds. To be honest, as a reader I felt it should have been more spread out. But as this book is the first in the series, I am hoping the author is going to connect all the pieces of the puzzle together and we will know the reason behind so many different characters.
Based on how he constructs the plot, it can definitely turn out to be an epic fantasy/ science fiction series. It is not easy to imagine and building one fantasy world, and the author does a very commendable job building up so many at one point of time. It is a work of excellent imagination from a very promising author. Hope to see more work from him!

This book spanned across time and space with the action packed lives of each of the six different characters’ time and dimension. Their directions are similar yet different which makes this book exciting. It provides action with knowledge and insight on their own personal greater power. This books keeps you on edge on what will happen next with mystery and intrigue keeping you glued in chapter after chapter. Pick this book up and you’ll never want to put it down.

I really enjoyed this exciting and fast paced debut novel by James Talisman. Set in the ‘MultiVerse’ of multiple worlds scattered through both space and time this sci-fi/fantasy story was out of my comfort zone and not a genre I have read before. Honesty I had never heard of the term MultiVerse, but I am so pleased I gave this book a chance. The blurb states it is, “an exciting journey of adventure and discovery”, and it did not disappoint. The story begins with a mysterious voice which is heard in the mind of a selection of inhabitants across the multiple worlds within the MultiVerse of space and time, who’s voice is it and what does it want? The world building is so well done I felt as though I was on each world, and through Talisman’s descriptive writing the sights, sounds and smells all came alive.
There were a lot of different characters introduced from the various worlds, each with their own stories. I did struggle to remember them all in the beginning but the list of main characters at the beginning of the book definitely helped and I did refer back to this at times. The story was told from each characters point of view which I liked and the characters were likeable and relatable, from Hirisho, the sword master’s son from the Dameon Province world, Queen Neferities of the Isonian Empire, Matt Larson, a college student on EarthVerse world, the reptilian humanoid scientist, and a leader of an utopian world. Along with their mentors, who seemed to have ‘godlike’ powers, each character embarks on an adventure and joins the battle between good versus evil.
I highly recommend this well written debut novel which has an exciting storyline even to readers not familiar with this ‘MultiVerse’ genre. It is book one in Talisman’s, ‘Journeys Through’ series and I look forward to the next instalment.

Journeys Through Spacetime was such a fantastic read! I was instantly pulled into the story through the author’s imaginative ad creative writing style. This is the author’s debut novel and I am really looking forward to seeing where he takes this series. The storyline is complex but I really found that I was able to become fully absorbed into what I was reading. I’m not usually a fan of sci-fi stories but I did actually really enjoy this one and I am definitely looking forward to reading more!
The characters in the story were really interesting to read about, and being told form multiple points of view enabled me to begin to understand the role each of them played in the story. The story as whole was beautifully detailed and I could definitely tell how much work the author had out into the story.
As I said earlier I am really looking forward to the next book in the series and I would absolutely recommend this book to other readers!

From the First page of this, I was hooked. I’ve always loved time travel stories, and this one was no exception, if anything it set the bar higher for any other time travel books I’ll read after this one. I loved the amount of detail and attention that was put into this book. From all the different characters and the different worlds and how it built up and all intertwined. Often times with books with several characters it’s hard to keep up, but this one I didn’t struggle hardly at all, and the handy guide in the beginning was also very helpful. I recommend this 100% to anyone who loves a detailed story, time travel, and sci fi/fantasy. I am anxiously anticipating the next book!
5 out of 5 stars.

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.

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.

I really like finding new authors! This is the first book from this author that I have read and I was not disappointed. I found the author’s writing to be unique and a change from my regular genre. The author’s very vivid imagination brings the characters to life in the writing. I felt as though I was there right alongside the characters as the drama was unfolding.

I found the concept of a mulitverse quite original and thought that the author did a good job of laying out all the factions.I didn’t have a problem following the story through the various parts of the multiverse and thought that it was very well organised and presented. I have to admit that this book had me glued to the pages cause I couldn’t put it down till I read what was gonna happen next.I will definitely read more from this author in the future.

This is not my usual genre but sometimes I really just love a good sci-fi read. This book is so complex with many different characters and worlds intermingling, but it all works, and comes together nicely while still being able to follow along easily. The storyline was gripping and very fun to get into, and I love a book that makes me feel as if I am living in the same time, or space etc. The action, suspense and adventure kept me enthralled waiting to see what would happen next to each individual character. I really enjoyed the beginning that had a layout of all the different worlds, the characters we would meet from those different worlds and how they were connected to the other characters. It helped me put a lot together in my own mind. I was impressed with how easy it was to follow along with each journey because at the start of a new story, the world in which we were being transported to was announced. I would definitely recommend giving this book a read, I don’t think you would be disappointed in the slightest.

This is the debut novel for Talisman, making it the first I have read by this author. Journeys Through is a new sci-fi/fantasy series. Talisman does a great job of creating not only one fantasy world but several within a universe!

Those many different Verses, are shown to us in the first chapter. We jump right into the adventure of this story…this world. There is a great battle coming. Good v. Evil. The ultimate battle and every being must be ready. With many different characters and worlds being introduced it is easy to become lost, but Talisman has a way of bringing the reader right where he wants them.

If you are a fan of fantasy, sci-fi or adventure, then this is the book for you!

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman a journey of a five-star read. This is number one in the Journeys Through series and shows great promise for the series. The fact that this is a debut novel shows in one or two tiny parts, but honestly, I could not believe it. I have been known to get into many a debate about the multiverse theory and usually avoid stories about it as they all follow the same type and we just get the one line, but I am glad I took the chance on this one as it had a great fresh perspective and made me start a whole debate about ideas from this story. Normally I cannot do that as I read a lot of romance and science nerds do not enjoy debating that, but this was great we started on one point and I brought in so many more. Much like the story it was deep and complex, and I found myself arguing over people just to get my point across, I explained it in different ways as the characters were so complex, they gave you strength from reading them. After we had our discussion we sat and talked and they all asked what book I had read as it must have been good to get me so impassioned, I explained that it was one I took a chance on and I hope many more people will. I did try to get them to give it a go, but they admitted that between the four of them they read one book last year last year. Hears hoping next year they raise the total to include this one.

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is his debut novel and it is a doozy. This book is not one that I would normally pick up because I tend to get extremely overwhelmed with multiverse story lines. Now, I must say this book had its confusing times where I found myself rereading sometimes three times to finally sort it all out, but I felt like this book was worth it. That is where the key to a great book lays for me. He has managed to build up these beautiful and vibrant worlds so that you feel as if you are traversing space right along with the characters. I enjoyed the amount of effort and time that was so apparent while reading, that was put into this novel to make it all that it is. This book also incorporates a lot of different characters as well as the worlds so be prepared to take a deep breath and dedicate the time to this novel to get the maximum enjoyment out of it. I read it over holiday break so I feel like maybe I will need a reread when the tiny terrorists return to school lol. I will definitely be around for a book two to see what will come next.

4 stars

This story gives you a new level of appreciation for the multiverse theory. You have multiple people across space and time that hear one voice with the same message. I used to dislike how people just become heroes when they didn’t want to. Like the weight of the world rest solely on you. The author gave it a little twist and it changed my opinion slightly. These individuals seemed to mesh well. The goal was clear and it felt like everyone was willing to play their roles. There a multiple POVs and many layers. It gets a little wordy in places and it drags. But the adventure and characters keep you interested. I kept reading because of the suspense. You just can’t help but see what happens next. The amount of time of thought put into the details is amazing. To connect so many worlds, times and people in one story is amazing. It did get overwhelming keeping up with who is who but overall it was a really great read. If I was really inti sci-fi it would be a close top 5.

The worlds are very well developed, the book is also told in multiple points of view from the main characters which makes them all very well developed and interesting, and there are a lot of characters which can make it confusing at times. I loved following the adventures of all the characters and seeing them fight against evil. It’s full of exciting moments which will have you quickly turning the pages to find out what happens next!

The story Journey’s Through SpaceTime (Journey’s Through Book 1) by James Talisman is an 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. I love how the author pays attention to detail when writing about what the characters are doing or where they are visiting at the time. I felt like I was right there with them on their journey. The book has action, danger, mystery, betrayal, and will keep you guessing as to what will happen next. I was turning pages to find out. I enjoyed reading about the characters and their stories. The way that they were written about had me caring about what happened to them. I felt a connection to many of them as they are introduced, and you learn more about them. This is a book that has several narratives and I enjoyed how each one was presented. This looks to be the first book in a series, and I can’t wait to read the next story. I highly recommend this book.

I give Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman, 5 stars.

This book takes individuals from many different worlds and links them together by one thing — they all have a mysterious voice they hear in their heads saying the exact same thing. Then thry each have to remember why they are hearing this voice. Each one of these characters is completely different and each one is dealing with a separate issue at the same time. Not only do the all have the same belief system, they are facing some sort of evil unique to their individual situations. That is the very basic outline of the story, put into a science fiction type of story.

The world building the author has created is absolutely incredible. There are multiple people in multiple worlds, and they are all created so well, you can picture yourself there. That is the goal of most fantasy/science fiction authors and this author nailed it. Then there are the characters. Again, each and everyone unique, with their own personalities and issues. These are not just flat placeholders to help the story along, the are very real.

Then there is the story itself. Actually, it is really like many stories in one book. To me, each person could easily have their own book. But the author rotates back and forth among the characters, making you wait to see what will happen next. But it is done so well, it does not feel forced or broken up at all. I was drawn into each story and could not wait to finish it. Of course, I have my favorites, but really, I would love to see them all again in future books.

While this book is definitely complex, the storytelling is phenomenal and I recommend to fans of science fiction and fantasy.

I was taken on a wonderful adventure into a multiverse with such great detail that I felt like I was there. This book is definitely not a quick read, it’s a book that you need to pay attention to. The author did an extraordinary job intertwining and connecting the worlds and characters into a fantastic story.
