Editorial Reviews

Review

From Midwest Book Review: Alex's Army experience has given him the ability to survive impossible situations, but can he exist in a world where his very presence is considered to be an act of war, where he is enslaved, and where he is forced to pick sides in a battle that holds no clear opportunities for returning to his family?
Shawn Inmon's ability to juxtapose the special interests of past, present, and future and the struggles one man experiences in the fight to not just survive, but return to his life, creates a gripping story packed with psychological insights, twists of plot, and involving, nonstop action.
A peppering of black and white artistic images by Jerry Weible enhances this presentation with intriguing embellishments that bring the story to life.
Readers looking for a solid time-travel adventure filled with battles, personal challenge, and action that moves from psychological to physical confrontations will relish A Door Into Time's ability to weave a strong story with many different characters and elements that capture and hold reader interest in more than just the time travel story.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Shawn Inmon is a small town kid who dreamed of being a writer. He worked several dozen different jobs - retail, real estate, traveling with the Unlimited Hydroplanes, crabbing in Alaska, morning disc jockey and station manager, and quite a few others he can't remember to list. These jobs gave him a wonderful base to write what he knows, because he knows a little about a lot.

He achieved his dream of becoming a full time writer in 2016 and has never looked back.

One reviewer called him "The King of Redemption stories." Shawn says he doesn't feel like a king of anything, but he does love a good tale of second chances.

He is the author of the ever-growing Middle Falls Time Travel series, 18 books and counting, and the Alex Hawk Time Travel Adventure series. He is also the author of Feels Like the First Time, a bestselling memoir of growing up in a small town in the seventies, falling in love, and messing everything up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alex Hawk stumbled through a doorway and landed far in the future.
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2023

The world he landed in was primitive, untamed, with dangers around every corner, on every path. The natives, if you called them that, wore hand-made, primitive clothing and carried only primitive weapons. Clubs, spears, bow and arrows, hand-made knives were the only weapons seen. And though he was over six feet tall, the natives towered more than a foot above his head. Even the animals were huge!
Alex was adopted into the tribe that he wandered into, but first he must destroy his futuristic weapons: his pistol, rifle, extra clips for each and his knife. His weapons violated their way of life. They represented technology they had sworn against. The technology that had destroyed the world Alex came from, into the future with small bands of survivors managed to eke an existence without technology.
But his idyllic new lifestyle was soon violated by another stranger finding his way into the future and forced a tribe to accept his forbidden technology and raid villages to make slaves to build his weapons of war, crossbows and massive war machines to rain fire and death from a distance. He brought warfare to the world and Alex couldn't let that happen. Raising and training an army of his own, Alex taught them close quarter combat and developed light, durable shields and longbows. None of this violated their laws against technology and gave Alex a well-trained, well-armed and protected small army to take to battle.
Alex, his giant pet dog, the tribe, all great characters with a storyline that winds forward and back, taking us deep into the caves and huts of the tribes. And, of course, the epic cliff-hanger! This is a good read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Kept my attention throughout
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2021

A Door Into Time kept my interest throughout. I had some trouble keeping track of all the characters, but not enough trouble that I ever lost track of the plot. There were a few places where the outcome was unlikely, but again, not enough to put me off. The description of the future society was clear. There was enough action to keep my attention. It did not have strong language or sex. The sketches are also helpful. Not full of political preaching, just fun.

I liked this story but I didn't race through it with adrenaline and curiosity. Instead, I took a pace that seemed appropriate with how Alex had to go after he went through the door. I learned about the world, the people, took stock of Alex's place in it. Fell in <3 with his best friend just like he did ( his dog!). I watched many things with sadness and many with wonder and I just got into the story and felt it. It wasn't heavy or burdensome, it was light, straightforward, and sensible. I love this authors Middle Falls series and I enjoyed this book but if you are familiar with the Middle Falls ones and think this is going to be the same, it's not. This is slower, simpler, and I think it's going to be a series that continually focuses on Alex and the same people who we've met in this first introduction book. I don't know that for sure, but it just feels like a slice of life story and it feels like we're going to cover a lot more of Alex's life, because this first book is to be continued and there's more than just one thing I want to continue to find out about. I definitely give it five stars because it's engaging, and I relate to each separate character, and I like the refreshing ability to read a book with no sex, bad words, and graphic horrible violence. ( There is some blood, fighting, injuries, wars, etc in this but it doesn't get way too extreme, **THERE IS DEFINITELY FIGHTING and WAR**, I just didn't feel it was terribly brutal.). I look forward to hearing more when the next book comes out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only 5 Stars since I can’t give it a10! READ the entire SERIES!

Outstanding series with very rich characters from the first novel to this series ending novel. Well structured mini adventure stories, and this novel provides an excellent series ending. Think of Conan-type novels without too much gore and none of the sex. For those asking, typos were not noticed. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the series, and I am looking for more from this author. I would give it more stars if I could! Thanks to Shawn for the many hours of adventure and fun. Well done!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for grownups
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020

Since I'm caught up on reading the works of the old sci-fi masters, along with some current ones, like Alastair Reynolds, I was intrigued enough by the "time portal" aspect of the book's premise to give it a try. Having gotten used to the heady concepts of said sci-fi masters, I found little depth to the way this story unfolded, and think it would be well suited for teenagers and young adults to read. One aspect that became irritating, made me wonder why or when, all the tribes in the story got together and decided that all the proper nouns would be hyphenated, with two and only two letters at their ends. Did this people even have a written language? This book equates to the popcorn adventure movie that can be fun, but offers nothing of real depth or inspiration.

4.0 out of 5 stars Science Free Science Fiction
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020

I tend towards time travel as I am attracted to the "what if" paradoxes, novel logic, and scientific questions it poses.

This novel is time travel only in the way Rumple Stilskin is. [spoiler] There is a "shimmering door" that takes the protagonist on a single trip into a stone age future. The mechanism is never explained. Future Oregon is filled with perfect humans of large stature and giant monstrous bears, wolves, snakes, cockroaches and even prairie dogs. Again, no explanation as to how or why this is so.

All in all, this book reads more like a fantasy novel... just not my cup of tea.

Character development, world-building, language creation, and plot are good. Excellent blow-by-blow description of combat (again, not my thing but wanted to acknowledge). Interesting social commentary on our society's distinctions with conflict and technology.

Has a few silly flaws, such as not understanding that the largest pinecones grow on the largest branches, lower in the tree, and out toward the branch tips (female cones).

Narration for the audio book is first rate... one of the reasons I stuck with it to the end of the first book.

I recognize that many will enjoy this book. Just wanted to explain what did and didn't work for me.

Reviewed in Australia on June 1, 2023

This is my 2nd time travel series in a row and is very different due to it being set in a prehistoric caveman-type age but the crazy thing is it’s aeons in the future and post-apocalyptic. Despite my initial averseness to this, I couldn’t put it down and loved the characters. Interestingly there’s no romantic subplot but it’s an emotional read nonetheless. A bit violent for my tastes but fortunately not too graphic.
