Reviews

Reader reviews are always most appreciated and I certainly take suggestions and feedback seriously. For any author, reviews are like oxygen, for we need them to live.

To make your own comment on “Traveller – Inceptio”, please go to the Traveller Inceptio Page.

At this stage of my author process, reviews are made by both readers and reviewers. Enlisting the skills of bloggers and reviewers is a process fraught with risk, as most are very nice but some, well, aren’t. There are always trolls and nobody writes a book loved by all. I have learned some will take more time criticizing than they do in reading, while others can’t spell. Yet, fortunately, reviews for Traveller Inceptio have been overwhelmingly positive. Please check out the blogger and reviewer links below.

For a more comprehensive list of reviews, there are a few on Amazon and Good Reads, but the more complete list is my listing on the site of my Publisher: Austin Macauley.

Here are only a few links to bloggers and reviewers, for which I am most grateful. Their task is often thankless and, for many, is a labor of love.

Traveller Inceptio, by researcher and storyteller Rob Shackleford, offers a different, more complex time travel novel than most as it documents a new time machine invention that, upon its discovery, accidentally sends a traveler some 1,000 years into the past, to Saxon England. It’s obvious that Shackleford has conducted much research on the times. He does an outstanding job of contrasting the technological world of the present with the very basic one of some 1,000 years ago. It should be noted that the facts are intricately detailed. This will especially delight historical fiction readers who typically don’t read time travel pieces. Casual readers not necessarily interested in history will find that this extensive description supplements the action and strong characterization which keeps the storyline moving along nicely (though readers who seek nonstop action and high drama may chafe at this attention to detail). Readers will, however, remain engaged in the story of the Travellers and their different challenges. For those who don’t want the journey to end, it should be noted that Traveller Inceptio is the first in a projected series; but unlike other series productions, it is a powerful standalone story and doesn’t read, nor is presented, like an artificially-divided tale.
