This is going to be a crazy week, with at least four books going live. We start off with The Sphere of Time by Steve Simons:
This is a science fiction story that is suitable for children and adults alike. It tells the story of John Latham a scientist and Engineer, who thinks he has found a way to travel through time, space or even another dimension. However, he is not sure unless he can test out his ideas. John is lucky enough to come across a wealthy man who puts up the money to try out John’s idea. But the crux of this book is, if he succeeds in getting there, wherever there actually is, what will he find when he gets there? Will he create situations that affect his own existence in the future? Would he be able to get back to his own world, universe or time? Or would John be trapped forever in that place and time that he so desperately wanted to travel to?

Interesting idea, I’ve always been fascinated with the Bermuda triangle and what exactly is going on there.

I enjoyed this book very much. I would love to hear a second tale of travel. The limiting factor of the Bermuda Triangle as the location of the black hole does pose a problem… Maybe the second book could be to the future? Perhaps to help explain the mysterious ship? A group charged with keeping time travel secret until such a time as humanity is ready… Just an idea.

I’m enjoying the book. The only problem is the song. Although it is lovely, there’s so much of it playing so often that it’s now grating on my nerves. Maybe next time you could use it less after the first few episodes or not as the transition sound between scenes. Alas, I can and do forward through it so that makes it better. No offense to the singer–it was great the first 10 times I heard it.
I do thank you for your hard work and for making the book available on Podiobooks!

I agree with the comment about the song, I had to stop listening to it as it was so annoying after a while!

I only could stand 1 and a half episodes with that horrible singer/music before I stopped listening. Get rid of the music and I would listen to more of the book even though the reader/narrator didn’t sound that great. Compared to Basil Sands, Nathan Lowell, Richard S. Tuttle and Scott Sigler, who have books on Podibooks.com I have listened to, I would have to rate this book as poor.

I’m really enjoying the story so far, I like the method of time travel and I like the characters and the conflict, however I need to agree with everyone else about the song, it’s too long in the intro. I don’t mind it during the scene changes but I’ve found myself fast forwarding till about 1:30 just to skip the song. (Which I like, BTW, but I tend to listen to two or three episodes in one sitting so hearing it that often is tedious.)
