Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman is an Amazingly written Sci-Fi Fantasy that takes you on a very interesting journey. I’m going to be honest I wasn’t sure exactly what a multiverse was until looking it up. I even had to ask for clarity. But with that aside I truly enjoyed this book. I had my moments where I was a little confused but the more I read the more everything started to make sense. The world building just simply blew me away, I was hooked and had a hard time putting it . This is a “ thinking” book and had my brain in overdrive. If you enjoy time travel and multiverse with alittle suspense then I highly recommend reading this book. I see myself reading this book several times. I can’t wait to read more from this Author and see how everything plays out.

I’ll preface this by saying this is not a genre I read a lot, but the cover and synopsis made it to where I couldn’t pass it up. While I enjoyed the book, it was something very new to me as I had no clue what a multiverse really was until this.
Wonderful writing had me not wanting to put it down, and it painted some great pictures in my mind. I will say I had to write down who was who as I couldn’t keep names straight but that may have just been me and the distractions of my children.
All in all if this is your genre of choice, you’ll absolutely love it, and if you like great writing and storytelling this is also the book for you. I am looking forward to more from this author as if this is his debut novel, I can’t imagine what the next will be like with how well this was written. Congratulations on your debut novel!

Journey Through SpaceTime is the first book on the Journeys Through series and the first book by James Talisman. This story was so well written and instantly pulled me in till the end. I already cannot wait for book two. This book touched SciFi and multi worlds and universes. I literally could feel like I was right there in these worlds that the author created. The characters are well developed, and the plot one that really grabs at the readers.
You never could have guessed that this was the author’s first book. His words, his story, his mind and imagination truly shine in this book. I can only see good things coming from him and beyond ready for book two and more in the future from the author. I highly recommend this 5 star read.

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) is an outstanding debut novel from James Talisman. In my opinion you would never believe that this was the work of a brand new author. I was majorly impressed by the standard of the writing.
I have never been a fan of science fiction before but have recently started to enjoy books in the fantasy genre. Due to this, I was intrigued by the blurb on this book and wanted to give it a try and I’m so glad that I did as I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Having read the first couple of ‘chapters’ I was really worried that I was going to struggle with the amount of characters, countries, races, galaxies etc as there is a lot of information to digest but this worry was unfounded. The author writes very clearly and concisely and keeps you well on track with what is going on. The writing is very descriptive and detailed and you can imagine exactly what going on. Please note, if you are going to read this book, there is a lot of bloodshed and violence. I admit to having shivers at some of the more gruesome scenes.
This book will take you on an epic adventure full of danger and intrigue, you won’t want to put it down.

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman. This book is AWESOME! This is not my favorite Genre but I loved this story and can’t wait for the next book! This book includes time travel, multiverse theory and sci-fi/fantasy. The story starts with all the different worlds we will enter and you get to meet all the characters that you will encounter. I will say this is not a book you can just breeze through, you actually have to pay attention to get the full story. There are tons of characters and tons of worlds and they all intertwine. Its amazing when you realize how things all come together. I loved the handy dandy guide at the beginning because I kept going back to it! The descriptions of all the worlds and characters make you feel like you’ve been there and know all the characters. You go from Earth to alien worlds with the turn of a page and you feel as if you’ve actually traveled there. Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this book and get lost in it. If you love Sci/Fi you won’t be disappointed. Just remember its not a light read so be prepared to delve deep. You will love it! Can’t wait for the next one!

‘Journeys Through SpaceTime’ is the debut novel, and first instalment in the ‘Journeys Through’ series by James Talisman. This sci-fi/fantasy story has so much going on in it and quite a lot of characters to keep track of. The storyline is multi-layered and complex, with multiple worlds and time-lines. The weaving of the story takes us on an action-packed adventure- where good vs evil, danger abounds, hidden agendas come to light, and a bit of ‘political’ manoeuvring takes place.
As this story spans space, and time- and introduces various principles/concepts to do with consciousness, universal energy and wisdom- it begins to build and explain the dynamics of this MultiVerse. The story is told from multiple points of view- which gives the reader a fully immersive reading experience whilst helping us to better understand the dynamics of each ‘layer’ of the storyline.
The story has a mysteriousness to it which definitely adds to the overall intrigue. It’s very interesting, if not a little wordy in places. All the ‘action’ in the various ‘worlds’, and with so many characters playing their part in this epic story; as well as all the switching back and forth between worlds and POV’s- made things a little confusing for me in the beginning. But as I got more of a handle on the story, characters, and flow- I really enjoyed the journey.
There are factors of the story which had a ‘Roman Legion’ feel, while other parts felt more Egyptian- with space and technological components, some Japanese Samurai like elements; as well as delving into some spirituality and consciousness concepts, & then the space and time factors, and conspiracies/plots/hidden agendas thrown in for good measure- and this story really took off. It will both captivate you, while making you think.
There is plenty of suspenseful moments which had me flipping the pages to discover how everything would play out. I loved that while a few of the threads were tied up at the end- we are left knowing that there is more to come- and plenty more to discover and unravel in the following instalment/s.
I am looking forward to continuing this journey and watching the story evolve.
Well done!

Thank you, Mr. Talisman!

WOW…Just WOW… Until reading this book I had never heard, read or even knew about a multiverse genre. I actually had to ask what a multiverse was. Let me start by saying I don’t read sci fi and although my mind has not been changed and I won’t be searching for more multiverse or sci fi books in general, I must be completely honest and say that I seriously got into this book and will be searching out more from this author. I did not understand a lot and got lost many times because I was like all over space and I’ll admit I got really confused as there was a lot of moving parts to this story. There were also many many characters involved and keeping them all straight was a bit hard at times.

In saying all of that, this book was written beautifully and when I was able to concentrate only on this book I was able to keep things straight and what told me it was an outstanding story was that I usually listen to alot of my books using text to speech, I could not do that with this book because it needed my complete focus and I wanted to give it my complete focus and I did. The writing was so precise and I could tell a lot of care went into forming every word and every sentence.

Now in saying all of that…I’m going to read it again, it’s the first of a series and I am invested enough that I really need the second one and do hope to see some of my favorites return but now that I have enough of the story planted in my mind I want to go back and try to grasp some of the details I was a bit confused on, so thats my plan before the second one comes out.

I can only imagine that a true scifi fan will absolutely put this book within their top favorites and even those that don’t read this genre will absolutely love it!

Such an interesting book and a great Debut for this author!
I enjoyed this book throughout its entirety and the author’s writing style was great. There was so much detail that I felt like I was experiencing the story with the main characters. Speaking of Charcters, they all were fantastic. I’m having a hard time picking a favorite because they’re all great and have their own awesomeness about them. This is a SciFi book that takes us to different worlds, and the author has a handy Dandy guide at the beginning of the book that helps with the who’s who. A book full of suspenseful awesomeness, I enjoyed traveling through space time and I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future. I would recommend this to anyone that likes Science Fiction books!
Happy Reading!

When I read the blurb for this book, I was immediately intrigued. I dove into the pages with anticipation and am so very glad I found this new author.

To say the world building is epic might be an understatement. Talisman takes us on a journey through space and time (no pun intended). In fact, the world building was done on such a level that likened itself, in my estimation, to Terry Goodkind and Terry Pratchett.

Fantasy lovers, you will be enthralled by the characters you are introduced to and how everything interconnects. Truthfully, the level of detail I found in the pages I am not sure I will fully appreciate until I have read the story for a second and third time.

Talisman is truly gifted and has presented readers with a brand new universe to dive headlong into. I cannot wait to devour the pages again and slip back into the world that lay in its pages.

Journeys Through Space Time, by James Talisman, was an interesting journey. It is a thinking book. I found I had to read it in small installments. Or maybe I just think too much. I felt a need to think about some of the things in the story. Many actors on this stage and many acts. I feel the need to read it again because I get the feeling when I come to the end that I have missed something. Most stories when you get to the end you expect them to be all tied up in a bow. Not this one. It leaves you thinking long after you’ve read the last page. I hope this author is well on his way to many more good stories.

Journey Through SpaceTime by James Talisman was a great science fiction read! I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. I love science fiction because of the world building, the unique characters, and the philosophy they teach. James does a great job incorporating all 3 of my wants in Journey Through SpaceTime. The worlds that were presented just blew me away. I loved the variety, it really helped keep all the worlds separate in my head. The characters were well rounded and I loved the varied histories. Lastly, the life lessons were very impactful, especially in light of personal growth and development.

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is the first book in the Journeys Through series. This is a first-time author and I was impressed by what I read. This is a book filled with science fiction, fantasy, time travel, and multiple universes. This is a well thought out and interesting book that kept me reading and engaged with the fascinating story. The characters are interesting and those from some of the other worlds harken back to mythology and our ancient history. I really liked the storytelling and the development of different locations. I look forward to what this author writes next and to see where he takes us in his series.

“All attendees sat in anticipation of the wonderful event about to unfold.” This is the first line in JOURNEYS THROUGH SPACETIME and much like the attendees at that event, I cracked the binding of this book with much anticipation.

An incredibly detailed story with world building in many different universes and lots of characters pepper this multilayered story. At times I did find myself pausing to remember who was who and where was where. Once I grasped the cadence and rhythm of the story, the pages virtually turned themselves.

This was an enjoyable journey and I look forward to reading more from this author.

I enjoyed this book. The author’s writing style and attention to detail made me feel as if I was right there in the story. There are many different characters, they made the story realistic and kept me reading. Of all of them, Hirisho is my favorite. This is a science fiction story that flip flops between a few different worlds but the story transitions perfectly. It is a story of space time travel as well as getting to see life on other universes, add some suspense. I highly recommend this book

You would never believe that this was James Talisman debut novel, it has been written in such an incredible way, it’s as though he has been writing his entire life. This is an incredible multiverse, multi-layered adventure story that you are unable to put this read down. This book is packed full to brim with in-depth, realistic characters that are scattered across the multiverse each telling their own unique and amazing story. You will be totally captivated with each storyline that occurs, in fact as the story goes on you become more and more invested in all that goes on.

This book has been created with such detail and descriptive writing you can’t help but mentally visualise the entire read. While there are many elements to this read you never got lost within the numerous storylines that are weaved together, each time the storyline changes you are made aware of it, yet even with the different storylines each one flows effortlessly on to the next one.

This is an amazing debut novel from James Talisman, one that I’m so glad that I got the chance to dive into and experience. I cannot wait to see what else this amazing author brings and what else he has to offer! I highly recommend this book and ill be eagerly awaiting Book #2.

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is the first book in the Journeys Through series. This book is detailed and intricate and so immersive that you will really feel like you are right there with all the characters.
For a debut novel this book really was outstanding. The book is so complex and detailed that I found myself drawn in and lost in the story instantly. This was the kind of book that as soon as I had read it I had to immediately start it again. The first time I flew through the story because I enjoyed it so much with the second reading allowing me to add in all the detail I missed the first time round.
From the moment you start reading this book you can feel the author’s passion behind it. This comes through in every aspect – from the characters to the overall plot. For me this only served to draw me ever further into the story. I am genuinely blown away by how captivated I was by this book. Anyone that is a fan of this genre should give this book a try. It is easily one of the best books that I had read this year!

This book is a full length novel, for the Sci-fi readers. It takes you on many journeys. Just as the title promises. It will draw you in and keep you there. A true “Good vs Evil” Fantasy Thriller.

James Talisman has writing this extremely complex story. His writing is well thought out and to perfection. His descriptions of his characters and the world they live in, will set you right into the story. While this is not my genre. I found James Talisman’s story interesting, well worth the read. You can bet I will recommend it to all of my Sci-fi Fantasy friends. As they will LOVE this story. This may be James Talismans first book, but I can already tell he has so much more to tell. Congratulations on you first book! Now get the next one done as I’m sure people will waiting.

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is the first book in the Journeys Through series. This is my first book by Talisman and I can already see that I will be looking to read more books by him in the future. The characters and scenery is beautifully descriptive and easily seen in your mind’s eye. This is definitely a work of passion for Talisman. The story plot line is that of a sci-fi story. It has all the good characteristics with time travel and multiple worlds all rolled up inside. There are some teaching moments with in the story to set the story up to the next level as well. There are some twists and turns which keeps the story moving and interesting. There were moments that I needed to revisit something I just read because I moved too quickly to get to the next page. So my warning is to really focus on what is happening because it is that amazing of a story. I cannot wait to see what Talisman has in store for us next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Journeys Through SpaceTime is James Talisman’s debut novel, and the first in his Journeys Through series. It sits on the border between sci-fi and fantasy, with a story that transcends an array of times and places.
The story begins with an introduction to the different worlds we will encounter in the book, as characters in every setting have a similar, unsettling experience. Their stories unfold as they seek to understand the experience, and the reader seeks to understand what connects the strands of the story.
Talisman clearly has a passion for world-building, and readers are given a rich and detailed description of the many worlds the story inhabits. For the most part, it is easy to keep track of although there were times when I wished I had a paperback copy so I could refer back to the Dramatis Personae. The settings each very much have their own character, ranging from modern-day Earth to alien worlds that evoke ancient civilisations, each with their own cast of interesting and developed characters.
For me, this is a five-star book. It is a complex story that demands your full attention, and rewards with a rich tapestry of worlds held together by an original and engrossing story. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author!

This is an amazing adventure story. The multiverse has several worlds, all with their own stories and battles.

On every world there is a battle between good and evil, however what they dont realise is that they are all connected to each other, and they need to work together in order to win this battle.
Will good win over evil this time or is the evil force too strong to be beaten.

I really enjoyed this story once i got into it and kept track of the characters and how they are all linked. Its a really well written story and the characters are captivating.

Journeys Through SpaceTime is an excellent novel that pulls readers in immediately from page one! There is a strange presence introduced at the beginning that immediately caught my interest especially since it was leaving each individual introduced. With this, I want to mention that there are several characters from multiple universes in this book. Each of these individuals had excellent character development and Talisman provided a detailed back story for each.

I loved how organized and easy to follow the storyline was. There is specific wording and formatting notifying readers that the storyline is changing which helped me keep track of occurrences I’m the multiverse. I also enjoyed the beautiful setting described with each character. It was easy for me to visualize and place myself in the book at that point in time. This book is easily 5-stars and I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

If you love time travel, flexible reality, multiverse theory, and sci-fi/fantasy, this is a great read. If you have difficulty following multiple story lines in a book, this is probably not going to be a fun read for you. Personally, I like a complex story to keep my brain engaged.

One of the things I resonated with were the Seven Principles that were introduced toward the beginning of the story. It reminded me so much of the principles I learned on my personal journey as a Priestess. It’s hard to find stories that convey these principles in mainstream books.

Journeys Through SpaceTime has a wide variety of interesting characters. I liked that diversity because it added depth to the reading experience.

I appreciate the amount of thought that went into creating this adventure!

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman is a sci-fi story and is his debut book. It is a unique and interesting tale that he has lovingly shared with us. You can tell he has written the story with passion and poured his heart and soul into it. The characters were many and varied as the story takes place, as the title says, through spacetime with multiple species and races and worlds you can only imagine. James writing, descriptions and depictions are very detailed and you can easily imagine what the words portray. The concept of All-That-Is is intriguing and many will relate to some of the teachings/concepts that James has given us in the book. To that end it is a complex story with multiple layers and sometimes I had to re-read something just to take it all in and absorb what was being said. I also felt that the story could have been told with less words. That being said I look forward to see what James comes up with next.

If you love sci-fi grab a copy and settle in for a unique tale that will get you thinking.
