Portals in Time: The Quest for Un-Old-Age

by John Joseph Teressi, Verlaine K. Crawford (Editor)

Overview

Inspirational, magical, and mystical as The Alchemist, intriguing and thought-provoking as A Wrinkle in Time, a spellbinding adventure tale as in The Celestine Prophecy, “Portals in Time:  The Quest for Un-Old-Age” enhances your intuition, your love of nature, your adventurous spirit, and your sense of humor as you journey to another world and learn about the Seven Harmonies.

In this gripping, fantasy novel ten time-travelers living in a dystopian world on the verge of obliteration, volunteer for a mission of redemption. The citizens of Grippland are aging at an alarming rate, and the entire population is at risk. Gripp High Command chooses ten volunteers from their prison and forms the Grippland Eye of Time Exploration Team.

The team's objective is to travel through time and search for the answer to the extension of life and, ultimately, bring back a cure. The Gripps embark on what they believe is a scientific journey, but they land in another dimension, in the mystical land of Acronos. The two Guardians of Acronos meet the travelers and try to guide them. Suspicious and paranoid, the exploration team spurns the help the Guardians offer.

With unexplained energy waves, frightening magical creatures, and changes in time and space, the Gripps fight and struggle to survive. Despite the team's antagonism, the guardians stay close, attempting to assist the ignorant intruders through a cosmological maze. With the visitors' lack of respect and courtesy for Acronos, can the guardians keep the Gripp team safe and find a cure?

'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. Surpassing dystopian and utopian novels, it is an inspiring spiritual journey that delves into metaphysics and the fundamentals of reality. --Susan Sewall, Readers Favorite Reviewer

There are few times in our lives when we can become lost in a fantasy that can affect our lives in such a meaningful and positive way. You will not forget the characters and the wonder of the intelligence of nature in this story of love, patience, understanding, and redemption that will enhance your life and live in your heart. 

The setting is nothing like I have ever read before, but curiously, it does remind me of something I have known and forgotten, of the sense of being connected to something bigger than myself. 'Portals in Time: The Quest for Un-Old-Age' wakes readers up and provokes in them a reflection on the possibilities of life.--Romuald Dzemo, 5-Stars, Readers' Favorite Reviewer

"Inspiring, entertaining, and downright exhilarating! A fantastic novel combining adventure, fantasy, and time travel.

The writing was very literary (beautiful prose)! Teaches wonderful life lessons in an organic, spiritual way. Very highly recommend!!"-- Gillian Hancock, 5-Stars, Indie Book Reviewers

"Profound and Visionary, unique depth and complexity of characters and even for a science-fiction/fantasy/metaphysical adventure the rules went out the window. Writing is very strong and the plot is compelling and intelligent. Kept me turning the pages late into the night!" --Sam Ryan, Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers

"Teressi has the gift of storytelling, awakening a deep spiritual longing in the hearts of readers. The story is told in fine prose and in a captivating tone. It takes you to dreamland and makes you feel as if you belong to a spiritual world of endless possibilities."--Ruffina Roserio, Readers' Favorite Reviewer

"The whole book felt almost like one long poetic dream! It was a lot of fun and really different. A thriller, suspense, fantasy, action, drama, spiritual, philosophical, metaphysical, literary feat! I didn't want to stop reading until I finished the whole thing." -- Brenda Maxwell, Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers

"Trust me when I say you've never read anything like this before! If you like multi-faceted, thrilling, fantasy fiction that is philosophical, enlightening, and fun to read, you'll love this one. It pushes the boundaries of typical literature and is a great addition to the field." -- Claire Middleton, Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers

"Beautiful writing, great action, fun characters, unique plot! An amazing, eye-opening read exploring different aspects of humanity. Richly layered with meaning, wisdom, philosophy, and spirituality. An inspiring, engrossing novel that stays with you long after you are done." -- Steph Coleman, Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers

"This book was amazing...provocative, thrilling, suspenseful, intelligent, spiritual, and philosophical! I was drawn into Teressi's strange new world and meet a whole cast of characters unlike any I've met before. Sci-fi with a beautifully poetic nature that is also filled with unexpected drama." -- Essie Harmon, Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers

The book was hard to put down. I spent hours at a time reading it. Covers society, spirituality, and the mentality of a society weaving it all with quantum physics, and it's so well done I never lost track of the storyline. It made me think about my own existence and belief system." -- Literary Titan
