What an excellent way to start a series. Anyone who enjoys Sherlock Holmes will know of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. We get to meet quite a few characters who are well known by name even today, and go on adventures through time with Doyle and John Patrick Scott. I greatly enjoyed the time-hopping, and getting to visit and see different eras and people in the process. A great read for sci-fi and time-travel lovers!

OH YES! This is good folks! Let's back up to 1898. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who gave us Sherlock Holmes, meets John Patrick Scott. John is in Scotland studying music. Doyle and Scott hit it off and have some fun banter. Then, as it happens, John is an H.G. Well's fan, and so he makes... a time machine! Ah what fun. One glitch, John travels into the future and now he is a... woman! What? Call *the* Doctor because this time machine might need some tweaks. I love the secret library, and I love all the British aspects of this story. It has a good bit of history as John time travels and I think this was a good start to the series.

Thank you, NetGalley for my digital copy of this book. This review is mine, and a positive review is never required.

The Time Traveler Professor has all of the elements needed to make this an amazing historical mystery. A must-read story that captivating and inviting.

I would like to thank Atomic Alchemist Production LLC and the Netgalley website for this partnership.

Being a fan of books about time travel: Kerstin Gier's "Ruby Red" series for example, I had to read this book.

It features Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who absolutely wants to find a red book that is legendary. He is convinced that if he has this book it will help him to write the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. He is going to be helped by a concert musician and investigator on the paranormal John Patrick Scott who considers himself more like an archaeologist who is Celestial in nature and a professor who travels in time. The two of them will travel through time to try to find this famous red book. Except that by travelling in time they will take ghosts from the past with them.

I immediately fell in love with the captivating, addictive story full of suspense and twists and turns with endearing characters. The second book is in my pile for another reading.

I found the storytelling very disjointed; I wasn't sure there was any real structure apart from positing the narrator into various historical scenarios strung together on some invisible thread that at various times flirted with past-life regression and astral travel. Too many themes crammed together. that the narrative felt like it was tripping over itself.

I downloaded the second in the series and won't be reading or reviewing it.

I was intrigued by the premise, but unfortunately I found the storyline convoluted and disjointed. Ultimately this was one book that I could not finish.

This is book 1 in the Time Traveler Professor and you may find this title listed under the series. It lays a great background for future books. With a cast of characters that includes, H.G. Well, Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle it offers an alternative history. Narrated by John Scott it delves into mind reading, magic and of course Time travel. The story revolves around a little red book that young John is given. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Enjoyed the book. There were areas at the beginning of the book, chaps 1 & 2, that could use another round with the editor. Otherwise, the book held me interest and kept me reading as a good book should.

OK. The premise is interesting and the action kept my attention. A new way to look at time travel.

Couldn't get into it so I didn't finish. From what I read it seemed like it was written well but just wasn't my cup of tea.

Having glanced through some reviews for The Time Traveler Professor: Book One: Silent Meridian by Elizabeth Crowens, I was both intrigued and curious. While quite a few people were fulsome in their praise there were also those who mentioned grammatical and punctuational errors. I did note some instances of both but they did not detract from the story for me. Perhaps that is because the majority of books today contain both of them in addition to spelling errors. It is more of a distraction when there are awkwardly phrased sentences, which are common today and of which I found several. It interrupts the reading flow when one must re-read a sentence in order to try to discern the author's intent. Another circumstance I found off-putting was finding sections that appeared to be a repeat of previously written/read content. I found it confusing when I encountered it and still do. Perhaps I misunderstood but I don't know why it was repeated.

I originally thought I would read this book to our son but I am very glad that he turned me down! There are numerous references to sex in this book and we both would have been embarrassed to say the least. There was no indication in the description nor in any of the reviews I saw. I don't know that it contributed to the story at all, I suppose it is used to "flesh" out the character and is intended to make him more realistic. It was not necessary in my opinion but I realize that there are many who would disagree.

You might think by the issues I have raised regarding this book that I did not like it. On the contrary, I did enjoy it. I enjoy reading historical fiction (the traditional historical fiction, not the romance ones common now) and this book has many of the same elements. I like it when actual people and events are mixed with fictional elements because it really sparks my imagination and, let's face it, it's fun! There is a lot to like in this book and it is easy to get caught up in any of the stories/timelines. Sometimes I was unsure when I was even though the chapters list the time and location. I think that may happen only when a character themself may have traveled in time or when they are recalling a trip in time. It is resolved with further reading of the chapter in question.

The author, Elizabeth Crowens, has created many worlds to visit in this book and they are intriguing. I look forward to visiting them in her future endeavors.

Wow, this one was ALL OVER THE PLACE... I really really wanted to like it - the premise is clever and the characters and plot sounded intriguing and right up my alley, but from the opening pages I felt like I stumbled blindfolded into the middle of something that was already unfolding, and I never figured out which way was up. It's a great idea, but the execution lost me from the get-go.

Let’s travel to Edinburgh, Scotland, 1898. The main character of this book, John Patrick Scott is meeting Arthur Conan Doyle at a pub. “Can I assume you believe in the transmigration of souls?” asks Arthur.

And so begins this unusual book, filled with the flavor of Victorian literature and the fascinating studies of the time. Arthur Conan Doyle is mentoring John Patrick, a student studying music. They share a passion to explore the realms of Spiritualism and related paranormal phenomena. Their first project is to develop their telepathic communication skills.

John Patrick is also building his own time travel device, consisting of bands with moving magnetized parts that he wears on his head. He has succeeded in traveling to the past and the future. He frequently visits times and places that have to do with magic.

Flavored with Victorian literature, Arthur Conan Doyle likes to quote his own works, this book will appeal to those who are fascinated and familiar with elements of “the beyond” and with time travel. I am not drawn to these topics and I found this book to be confusing and arcane. However, other reviewers seem to enjoy it. Thanks to NetGalley and Atomic Alchemist Productions for a digital review copy. This is my honest review.

The first book in a new alternative history series focusing on air Arthur Conan Doyle, while a little hard to follow i really enjoyed the story and can't wait for the next one

If you like a time travel book mixed with suspense and touch of adventure, this book is for you.
I found the series interesting and easy to read. Indeed, this book took me for an adventure in time through its pages.
Recommended read.

Very good plot, a lot of intrigue, and characters you happen to know ... This is very well written, gripping,
and fantastic. Time to enjoy all the atmosphere and clever plot.

The Time Traveling Processor is a unique and interesting book. This a bit unbelievable in parts but still a good read.

A good book I enjoyed. It's fun to read and entertaining.
I appreciated the world building and the plot was developed. The characters were fleshed out and well written.
It's a bit obscure at time but a fun read anyway.
Recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book, all opinions are mine.

This was pretty good overall. Kind of a crazy premise, and difficult to pull-off, but the author mostly achieved success. I didn't love this since it was too far fetched at times for me. But the author has talent, and a very good imagination. His historical celebs were a fun addition.

Thanks very much for the free copy for review!
