Not all guys obsess over tiny details…but Army Special Forces do.

The wall just didn’t look right. Alex has been trying to cope. Life after his deployment had been rough. His ex-wife thought he needed to stop disappointing their daughter. She was right.

He would try harder.

With six hours before his little girl’s fourth birthday party, he saw the anomaly. One wall was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. His house wasn’t made of brick.

Behind that was another just like the first. He still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway. Next to it, held up by a knife, was a note. It was a warning - and he didn’t listen.

You’ll love being transported through time, to a future unlike anything we’ve imagined, where Alex’s fight to get back home becomes an epic struggle. This first book in the series will blow you away.

This type of story is not typical for me. None the less it was very entertaining and engaging. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Unusual choice

Shawn Inmon borrows pretty heavily from stories like 'The Planet Of The Apes', 'The Chronicles Of Narnia', Rice-Burroughs's John Carter stories, and H.G. Wells's "The Time Machine' to feed his tale about a former US Army soldier who discovers a walled-off portal in his Oregon basement and steps into a different world. There, he encounters a fellow time-traveller who introduces him to life as a member of an 'Avatar'-like tribe of 7-foot-tall tech-hating quasi-Aborigines.
Inmon does a "decent" job worldbuilding and injecting action into the story.. but didn't blow me away by any means (I'm a fan of the 'Middle Falls Time Travel' series, but this author doesn't have many writing awards in his future).

Narrator Johnathan McClain elevates the book somewhat with an imperfect but impressive reading performance, too. He occasionally exhibits an odd tendency to almost whisper soto voce segments of the text (actually forcing me to strain to hear).. but otherwise displays an emotive tone that complements spot-on diction, timbre, cadence, and voice-acting. Podium Audio cast this project nicely.

Altogether, 'A Door Into Time: An Alex Hawk Time Travel Adventure Book One' merits 5.5 stars out of 10. As a 'Plus' option, it was an enjoyable way to spend a couple of quiet afternoons.. but spend your Credit elsewhere should they ask for one.


Acceptable Unsophisticated Action-adventure

I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this book..it was a simple story....but it had a very real story considering the concept. the story starts right away as I prefer... instead of long developing overview leading before story actually starts. I'm going to go on to book 2.

I found it a strangely interesting combo between A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court and A Man Called Horse. With Planet of the Apes and anti-technology horror vibes thrown in for good measure. A mild-mannered special forces dad is dropped into this mix. Who plays Alex in the movie?

Interesting character and premise
