It has a metaphysical and metaphorical feel to it. The setting is nothing like I have ever read before, but curiously, it does remind me of something I have known and forgotten, a sense of being connected to something bigger than myself. It wakes readers up and provokes in them a reflection on the possibilities of life." -Romuald Dzemo, 5-Stars, Readers' Favorite Reviewer "A heart-racing mental thriller that grips the reader with its fantastical story Find the time to become lost in this story.

Benart, 5-Stars, Readers' Favorite Reviewer Portals in Time is an exciting fantasy novel with a riveting plot suffused with the mysteries of time and space. It is a brilliant, philosophical, New Age novel in which the qualities of two centuries-old classics, Lewis Carroll's "Alice In Wonderland" and John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress," are melded into a dynamic, futuristic tale. It is an inspiring spiritual journey that delves into metaphysics and the fundamentals of reality.-Susan Sewell, 4-Stars, Readers' Favorite Reviewer Sent on a mission to save themselves and their world, The "Eye of Time Exploration Team" enters a Portal in Time to discover the Secret of Un-Old-Age to rescue their citizens who are aging prematurely.
