THE JOURNEY
A Novel by Terry Elton
Do you like Historical Fiction with Romance, Murder and Mayhem, Adventure and a little Skullduggery? Then you will love THE JOURNEY. Set largely in New York and London around 1760 ... "THE JOURNEY" will take you on a breath taking roller coaster ride through time to eighteenth century London and New York where a story of romance, adventure and tragedy is set to unfold against a tapestry of painstakingly researched historical detail. The mysterious murder of Thomas Bradford and his fiancée Catherine Webster, have doomed their spirits to a restless search for new hosts.
Two hundred years later, Brian Pearson and Nancy Donovan meet on a plane to New York, unaware that the spirits of Thomas and Catherine have found a new home at last. By the time they reach New York, the modern-day couple is hopelessly trapped in a powerful, yet incomprehensible, connection ... to each other, and ... another place and time ... the New York of the eighteenth century. What follows are their adventures as they struggle to live out the lives of the spirits that possess them, that is, until one misstep transports them back to the present where they must face 5their baffled families ... and an inquisitive press.
Along the way, you will meet a cast of characters from another century ... wealthy business men, servants, artisans, crooks, and Native American Indians. And you will find out how their world was different from ours today ... and the remarkable ways in which it is still the same. The twists and turns in this enigmatic tale won't let you go until the very last line, and then you'll be looking for Book Two. (Which is coming)

very interested in history 
The Journey - Lots of books in one
Part romance, part history and part adventure, The Journey has a bit of
everything! Who hasn't wondered about their past life associations to people,
places and events? A good story about time travel, past lives and soul mates
with tidbits of American history mixed through out. I thought it was an
enjoyable read and look forward to the next volume to see what happens

Excellent
storytelling! The best read I've enjoyed for quite some time. Two people meet on
a plane to NY, then decide to spend a bit of time together. It turns out to be a
couple hundred years as they are swept back into colonial New York, where their
bodies are inhabited by a tragic couple who, even in death, keep searching for
each other. Using the present day couple's bodies, they are able to return to
find and deal with those who had been responsible for their tragic endings. But
the story isn't nearly that simple. It is light and romantic, dark and tragic,
clear and mysterious, with more than one twist, leading to a conclusion which is
satisfying, yet leaves us wanting to know more. The tale also takes us to 1760's
London, to recognizable landmarks still existent in New York, and north to
Indian villages. This book is in the tradition of Jack Finney, but set a century
earlier, and while not strictly a time travel tale, will satisfy readers of
romance, mystery, time travel, and historical fiction.

One Sunday evening with nothing to do I picked up The Journey, thinking I'd read for a couple of hours. At 3:00 Monday morning I finished it. I haven't done that for 20 years! The story was captivating, to say the least. There's romance, mystery and a good deal of history that was magnificently woven through page after page. I know there's another novel tripping through this author's mind, even as I speak, and I want the first copy off the presses!

"The Journey" by Terry Elton is an enjoyable read! It takes you to well defined places in time and the characters are developed in a realistic manner. The idea of two souls/personalities meeting and re-meeting in different centuries has been done before - but the subject is handled differently here and is very engrossing. The pace is quick and the premise plausible. The only difficulty I had with the time travel was in the New York present/past part when they flipped back and forth. As I read a lot of fantasy and science fiction - I decided to suspend belief and just get into the story.... which was easy to do! Terry has left off with the unwritten promise of a sequel. I'm looking forward to reading it!

It is great! I couldn't put it down, even the second time. Each chapter brought new ideas and new twists and turns to the story. It is a wonderful blend of romance, deception, history, and revenge, with a unique twist on the idea of time and fate. Throughout the book, I found myself rooting for the success of love and revenge. I really enjoyed my travel on the Journey, and I anxiously await the next one.

Intriguing, fast-paced, and a tantalizing interchange of time periods are just a few of the positive characteristics that describe this book. The story line weaves back-and-forth between the 1760's and modern day; always with a tantalizing tidbit that has you eager to continue reading. The book is filled with many interesting facts and descriptors about the characters, buildings, countryside, and lifestyle. The author's research comes through masterfully. The intriguing experiences of the featured couple are most entertaining. It is an enjoyable book that one will want to reread several times.
