The Far Journey

A Timeslip Novel of Survival on the Oregon Trail

De: Tom Reppert

Narrado por: Patricia Santomasso

Young, sharp-tongued Paula Masters, used to her cell phones, cherry lattes and designer jeans, suddenly finds herself thrust back in time to 1848 and the Oregon Trail. In modern life, she rebels against the curfews and restrictions of her day, seeing them as unfair hardships. But now in this alien world with its buffalo stampedes, wild Indians, and deadly pestilence, she is about to find out what real hardships are. To get home, she must set aside her rude girl persona and learn how to survive.

On the trek, Paula meets young Daniel Langdon, hunter and part-time scout, and an infatuation quickly becomes a great passion. She realizes this is the love of her life and to get home she will have to leave him behind.

In the tradition of Outlander, The Far Journey is a grand epic of love and tragedy, loyalty and betrayal, peril and survival. Throughout, Paula Masters is tested in body and soul and must discover the strength and toughness inside her.

Time travel, Mystery, Suspense, Great Listen

If you could sum up The Far Journey in three words, what would they be?

Exciting, Entertaining, Suspenseful

Any additional comments?

I absolutely loved the time travel of this listen. It was well written, executed down to the last detail. I would recommend if you enjoy suspense, sci-fi, time travel, and exciting. I never knew what was next. I love this story of a woman being strong when in the time she was thrown into she was suppose to be weak. I will listen again and again. Thank you.

Amazing take on history

This is an interesting take history. It take something that happened and tells it in a different more interesting way.

This is a young adult novel but it doesn’t take away from the story or my enjoyment.

I believe the authors intent was to introduce this piece of history to a younger audience with a sci fi spin to keep our interests

Unique and touching

I received a copy of the audio book free of charge from the author in exchange for an
honest review. Now that is done, so I can tell you how much I enjoyed this book. I thought at first I was going to be disappointed, but I was so wrong! It is a very intriguing tale of time travel, and being a huge Outlander fan, I am a bit picky! I have read some horrible ones, but this was well written, interesting and very emotional. I enjoyed it greatly. The narration was well done, too. Recommended!!

Swearing is distasteful, adult material

Really didn’t like the swearing, was unnecessary. The story would’ve been just as good without all the swearing and other adult references. The ending was the most powerful part of the book.

Don’t give up on it

The book started out like a YA story & there was some foul language/action in the beginning. I was ready to give up on it but for some reason I didn’t. This was needed to set the characters & scene so you could fully grasp what was coming. To truly see the difference in a child today & one in the 1800’s. It was a great story. I couldn’t figure out how it would end & not be devastating but Mr. Reppert did an excellent job. I wish there was a sequel.
