We Journey No More

A Time Travel Adventure

By: Sahara Foley

Narrated by: Lynn Roberts

When runaway teenagers Don and Janet pull off the mountainside road just outside of Albuquerque for a few hours' rest, they don't expect to wake up 1000 years in the future, in a world they can't recognize.

There, Earth is a desert planet where nomadic tribes are little more than slaves to the Ganu, the powerful and dominant ruling tribe.

When the young couple is befriended by a small tribe, and Don is hailed as their mythical and prophesied savior, they must use all their cunning and resourcefulness to defeat a powerful, cruel enemy and save the lives of their new friends.

A nice light read.

Nice easy read. Does not have a large cast of characters to remember. It is a pleasant read for your trip to work, exercising, or just cleaning up around the house.
When i started listening to the book the narration was slow, and it sounded like a computer reading the book. It was far more pleasant after I increase the read-back speed to 1.25 of normal.

Good listen, nice story, perfect for YA

I enjoyed listening to this book. Don and Janet somehow end up traveling through time and wind up in a future world after an apocalyptic event. Hormones raging and some 17+ material though not too graphic, I did find myself scrambling for the volume rocker in front of my 8 year old once (so heed this warning!).

Narration was pretty good. Most of the voices were discernable from each other. I found the conversations to be pretty straightforward and I did wonder on occasion if people really spoke in this manner. Then I remembered hearing conversations involving teens, and suddenly the plausibility factor grew exponentially.

The book is only a little more than 5 hours long, so the author doesn't have a lot of time to answer all of the questions that come up. Why things work, how/why something happened, etc. I don't really like when books end with so many questions, but in this case, it really didn't take away from the story.

The book was pretty fast paced throughout. Pretty good descriptive writing and some good character development. Not a lot of time is spent building the scenery or the backstories. But in a book like this, I consider that a good thing.

Definitely an interesting idea, and fun to go through the adventure with Don and Janet.

Its the end of the world as we know it - Story

This is a very good older YA story with lots of action and fighting. The sex is a little graphic, which is why I say Older YA. The story appeals to Adults too. It depends on your genre preference.

Don and Janet are sleeping in their car that is engulfed in a time portal. They wake up in their car and are now in the apocalyptic future. Luckily, Don and Janet come across a tribe that helps them. The superstitious tribe thinks technology is magic and that Don is the savior from a tribal prophecy. Don and Janet help them by using their common knowledge from the past. Janet is a strong female lead. I like that. It is not all about Don. There is a great balance between both of these characters.

There are crazy rituals and laws. Don and Janet are going to help change things. Mutants are running around. I just want to say…..Those are some VERY fast lizards. I think the fact that the car made it into the future with them inside was a nice idea to include. In stories of this genre, the biological bodies are the only ones that make it through portals. That is one tough car.

This is a very good story that is like combining "The Time Machine", "Mad Max", "Dune" and “The Signal" with Lawrence Fishburne. Of course, it is definitely different from all of these stories. A story with the computer geek and his girlfriend taking a trip and waking up in a possible future is a little familiar.

I really liked this story. I have referred this to several friends that like this type of post war survival themes. I was wondering if the fact that the planets are different might mean that they are in an alternate or parallel dimension. That idea kind of stuck in the back of my mind at one point.

It was ok....

I would love to say that I loved this book but I just liked it.
There was an Evil Dead sort of feel to the story line. I loved that part. Lol
The story tells you things that any person of normal intelligence could figure out. While I have NO issue with sex in any literature it felt out of place win this book. I'm 43 & was having sex at the age these characters are but I still found it off putting. The girl is 16 & the boy is 17. I also thought it odd that they called each other honey. Kids now don't use 'honey' as a term of endearment. The horn honking & destroying 'death rays' was never explained and left me scratching my head. I also did not understand how a kid who lives for programming can just leave it behind in a blink of an eye. Much of he story seemed like a video game & I think that was the point.
I would not recommend this to any teen under 17. Without the sex I'd say it could be good for pre-teens. That alone put a limit on its intended audience.

A slow start

Any additional comments?

For me, this book was slow taking off but once they got to the camp it started picking up. I enjoyed the ingenuity of the battle plan and the weapons. I wouldn't mind seeing a follow up book to complete the story.

An adventure lacking adventurous narration

Any additional comments?

From the artwork and description of the book I thought it was going to be YA. However, I double checked after the adult situations the kids (16&17) were in when I first started listening. I now see that it is not listed as such on here. I like the story but struggled with the narration. I don't think a narrator with a deep, monotone, adult voice was the best choice for narrating these kids. These are modern teens who didn't come across as such (to me) because of the disconnection I felt with the narration. I think a female narrator would have been better suited.I would have enjoyed this book much better sitting down and reading it for that reason. After I get that voice out of my head I will give it a try.

Excellent time travel story!

This is a great story of two older teens who ended up over 1000 years in the future and over 900 years after a great cataclysm. Some humans survived while other humans and all of the animals have mutated. I absolutely loved this story but I wasn't too crazy about the narration.

Surprise!

This is one of the most different books I have listened to in quite a while. I honestly had no idea where the story was going, but it turned out really good - well worth a listen. The title does actually sum up the fact that this was a journey and that it had all kinds of twists and turns that I don't think the characters wanted to make.

The narrator did an outstanding job of reading and the writer led me on a fun adventure that was very interesting yet thoughtful.

Time Travel with a Heart

This is a good story for the YA crowd. It was a little immature (many sex references, though not in an awkward way) but it was a fun listen.

A 17 year old boy and his 16 year old girlfriend are running away to what the boy thinks is a job designing computer games. On the way, they somehow end up in the far future, where people are innocent and have been bred to serve without question to the death, if necessary.

A negative for me was the narration. For some reason there was no 'uh' sounds for the word 'a' it was always 'ay' and this was awkward to me. Along with the weird cadence and the obvious 'reading' of the story really detracted for me.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
