Waking, hospitalized with amnesia during World War I, "John Smith" quickly realizes he is not like other men. John can travel to parallel worlds, seemingly through the power of his own mind.

An intriguing start to the series, posing many mysterious questions that make you want to read more to discover the answers to.

Forgive me, but during my last review I had failed to give Patrick the five star rating he deserves.

A very entertaining read. Lush descriptions and vivid storytelling. I am excited to read part three which i hope comes soon.
Review by: vincent faini on Nov. 12, 2008 :
Patrick's book so far is captivating; his story and his writing style reminds me of the late, great, Robert Heinlein who wrote many books such as “Have Spacesuit, Will Travel, and Phillip Jose Farmer who wrote “Makers of the Universe” and the “River World Series and also the wonderful author Jean M. Auel who wrote “Clan of the Cave Bear” – and yet, his style is uniquely original.
I can’t wait to read more.
Sincerely,
Vincent D. Faini (Author of the books: “Adventures in Marine Biology”, “Conversations with Neo”, and “ZEN & THE ART OF RESISTANCE TRAINING: A Scientific & Yogic Approach to Weight Training”

Patrick
As I've said already, I'm really enjoying the story so far. I'll keep reading as long as you keep writing. Your story and style of writing is comparable to the old style of sci-fi I enjoyed as a teenager and still enjoy to this day. It is refreshing to emerse myself in this story as you're writing it. So you'll know who this is...in the world you're writing about now, it wouldn't hurt to see the inclusion of wapiti or at least the Irish Elk. It would fit perfectly into the world you are now writing about. I'll leave it to you to research and include if you see fit.

I downloaded the mobi version and read this book on my Cybook in one sitting. I enjoyed it very much and I wish there were more chapters available.
The author writes in a style that is very easy to read, fluent and entertaining.
I really like the story line and I can't wait for the next book! I want to know what happens next - soon, please.
Thank you, Smashwords, and thank you, Patrick. Well done!
