September Sky

American Journey, Book 1

By: John A. Heldt

Narrated by: Chaz Allen

When unemployed San Francisco reporter Chuck Townsend and his college dropout son, Justin, take a cruise to Mexico in 2016, each hopes to rebuild a relationship after years of estrangement. But they find more than common ground aboard the ship. They meet a mysterious lecturer who touts the possibilities of time travel. Within days, Chuck and Justin find themselves in 1900, riding a train to Texas, intent on preventing a distant uncle from being hanged for a crime he did not commit. Their quick trip to Galveston, however, becomes long and complicated when they wrangle with business rivals and fall for two beautiful librarians on the eve of a hurricane that will destroy the city.

Filled with humor, history, romance, and heartbreak, September Sky follows two directionless souls on the adventure of a lifetime as they try to make peace with the past, find new purpose, and grapple with the knowledge of things to come.

September Sky

I like these books though the characters make me crazy.lol They have no respect for the timeline and how they may change it.it is a fun series,that I read in the wrong order.A father and son go into the past to prove an ancestor did not commit murder.Chaz Allen is a fine narrator.

Good story about time travelers.

What made the experience of listening to September Sky the most enjoyable?

Listening about the historical events and trying to work their lives around them.

What did you like best about this story?

I like stories about time travel. However, I felt these characters did not have any problem adapting. I think most of us would be like, Oh yes that's right it hasn't been invented yet.

Great listen

Would you listen to September Sky again? Why?

Yes, from a history lesson stand point.

Have you listened to any of Chaz Allen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to a few of Chaz's audios and have enjoyed them all.. He's very recognizable. When I ordered the book, I didn't realize that I had been listening to Chaz in previous books, along with the author.
This particular audio is right up there on the list. At first it took a little getting use to him, but when I started listening to this audio, it was a pleasant surprise.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not knowing the history the area, I had no idea of the events that were going to happen.. so it was a very good history lesson for me.

Glimpse of 1900 Galveston

I grew up 20 miles from Galveston so it was very interesting to see it from the 1900 perspective. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
