Praise for TALISMAN:
“Talisman feels very much like an old-school science fiction adventure in the best possible way… The biggest strength of the book is probably its imagination. Once the time travel elements fully emerge, the story becomes increasingly unpredictable and ambitious. There’s a genuine sense that anything could happen, and the novel clearly enjoys playing with paradoxes, altered timelines, and questions about fate… Talisman is a fun, fast-moving sci-fi mystery that feels written by someone who genuinely loves classic speculative fiction. It blends archaeology, suspense, murder, and time travel into an entertaining story that rarely slows down for long.” —Alex, Likely Story
“It’s refreshing to dive into a darker time-travel novel with fully fledged, complex characters, deftly handled plot twists, and what life might really be like as a time-traveler." —RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
“This is a thoroughly engrossing version of the dilemmas and results of time travel… The writing, and especially the dialogue, is of high quality, drawing you into the story from the first page to the last. Readers who love science fiction, time travel, and archaeologically oriented mysteries will enjoy this book and find some new and original ideas in these genres. Highly recommended.” —Readers’ Favorite
“a high-stakes time travel adventure… Catalano delivers an engaging read with complex, relatable characters.” — BookLife Review
