Outstanding and entertaining read! This book mixes my favorite elements from the show "sliders" and the book "a wrinkle in time" and adds very unique doses of medieval england history and psychological elements. Definitely recommend if you enjoy books about time travel or parallel worlds. This book is a bargain at$1.99!

5.0 out of 5 stars Did Dr Paul Channel Edgar Allen Poe? May 20, 2013

By Mollie

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Dr. Paul's writing style (editing?) is reminiscent of the stories by Edgar Allen Poe. His approach is first person and the directness of the message makes it seem believable. When I purchased the Kindle edition on Friday, I had no intention of beginning it until after my busy weekend which was filled with overnight guests, puppies, and a fundraising rally. I had expected that the book would be more of a mystery than a fantasy. However, I was incorrect on both points. Once I started reading "Hamelton", I looked for opportunities to continue. I retired early each night in order to read. The story is captivating. Let the reader beware that he/she will not want to be interrupted while reading. Unlike other reviewers, I am reluctant to mention the plot. If you are psychic, you may already have a good idea. I will tell you that it is unexpected and compelling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hamelton Book Review November 27, 2011

By Susan Poirier

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This was a great book! It was hard to put down, and kept me captivated with what was going to happen next. I liked the throw back with history and adventure, plus the concept of time travel. It was fasinating to read, and ponder the real outcome if it had really happened to Chris Blake. The range of emotions, and the relationship factors made it interesting, but noted that it would be a painful experience having to leave your best friend to death. You don't know what you would have to do to get out with your life, and back to your world. Well written, and very enjoyable story, and I would recommend to anyone looking for a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind Bending! June 18, 2012

By J. Viser

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is the second book from Dr. Paul I have read, and it has lived up to expectations!

What I have come to appreciate most from Dr. Paul's stories is that there are multiple levels of meaning. Hamelton is nominally about time travel, but depending on your imagination and background, you might find quite a bit more. For example, the story is concerned with one key character's search for the mythical Garden of Eden and when it is found, the reality is quite different than expected. Also, the descriptions of the act of traveling through time match some of the descriptions of what it is like in certain astral planes of existence - being able to hear other's thoughts and feel their emotions. Dr. Paul does a good job of bringing the reader into this experience.

So, is Hamelton about time travel? Or, is it about the inner desire to find something better, or perhaps escape from the problems we have in this world? What our time-traveling friends discover, an escape from today's challenges may prove to create more problems than it solves! I haven't entirely determined what Hamelton means to me, but let's just say it keeps you thinking, I am just not sure my mind can bend back far enough to comprehend it all :)

However, that is not to say that this is a confusing read. On the contrary, Hamelton is well-written, engaging and kept my interest to the very end. Definitely worth the "time" to read and the story moves quickly without any slow patches.

If you liked the Twilight Zone series, then I have a feeling you will enjoy Dr. Paul's works!

I really enjoyed this book. I really had no idea what to expect and found myself looking forward to my next opportunity to read more and continue the story. The story itself was interesting and I will continue to read more of the Dr. Paul books.

Chris Blake and his friends start with a vacation to England and he lodges inside a castle that mesmerizes him. Eventually he gets curious about the place and his curiosity leads him to old manuscripts written by the original owner of the castle. This leads him back 300 years through a "method" of time travel he learns from the old manuscripts. Exciting story if you are into time travel and if u wish for places like "The Garden of Eden". READ THIS BOOK!

4.0 out of 5 stars You will not find a read more fun... April 19, 2011

By Carl Forgey

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Possibly my most frequent complaint about modern authors is that they cannot finish a story in less than 500 pages. Early sci-fi/fantasy authors would frequently write sweeping epics in fewer pages than these modern brick makers take to introduce a character.

This book is a refreshing step back to a time when a s-f/f story didn't have to clock in at 1,000 pages to be good. It is a sweeping epic that takes the reader, along with the main character and his friends, from Modern times to Mideval England and back, and all under five hundred pages.

The long and the short of it? Buy this book. You will not regret it. It is a great read recalling such s-f/f greats as Micheal Moorcock, Philip K. Dick, Robert E. Howard, and H.P. Lovecraft. A brilliantly conceived, fun story that deserves a read; and an independent author that deserves the encouragement.

More About the Author

Mental health therapist Dr. Paul has been compiling accounts of paranormal experiences for over twenty years. No one knows how many accounts he has amassed. These personal narratives by patients range from abduction by aliens or fighting with ghosts to stories from those who claim to be modern-day wizards. They are all in rough form and have been gathering dust for years. In 2006, Dr. Paul released a few to a specialized professional audience for review. The lucky few that were privileged to read these rough drafts have been demanding a greater release of the work by the reluctant doctor.

A passionate science fiction and fantasy reader in his youth, Dr. Paul has studied the paranormal extensively in his adult life, giving him a unique understanding of the unusual. This has allowed him to offer a sympathetic ear and uncommon understanding to patients to whom other health care professionals have been unable to relate.

Dr. Paul is a skeptic at heart and claims never to have had an unusual experience. He has been quoted, "Most of my patients are suffering from delusions or misapprehensions and simply need my help." He has found over the years, however, that a certain percentage of the experiences related to him have no rational explanations other than exactly what the patient has claimed.

Pressure from his tightly-knit fan club at last convinced him to revisit his boxes of notes and journals in 2010, and to release one of his more unusual cases. With the permission of the patient involved, Dr. Paul went through the account to change many names and facts in order to publish the journal publically. "I am not a writer, just a tale re-teller," says Dr. Paul. In the beginning of 2011, the book Hamelton was made available.

The book was published as "fiction" because, as Dr. Paul said, "I would rather be thought a 'fictional character' myself than prove the authenticity of the autobiography by opening my confidential files." With his characteristic modesty, Dr. Paul made no effort to promote his book, but simply put it on Amazon and waited for it to be found. Unsurprisingly, the few that happened to pick it up demanded to hear more about the doctor and his journals.

By the end of 2011, Dr. Paul had taken four more journals out of the dusty box in his attic, got the rights to them, changed names and places, and did some basic editing for clarity. White Warrior, Abduction, Chimeras, and Silver Cord went online in January 2012.

His objective is not financial gain or to push book sales. Dr. Paul merely wishes to reach those people who will enjoy this type of work, and hopes that those people will chat about it to like-minded friends or write reviews to let others know about it. This will motivate Dr. Paul to believe that it is worth his time to put effort into distributing more of his journals for the enjoyment of others.
