"John Royston thinks, with all the technology we have in three galaxies, you would think this chore would be easier. The former journalist turned Galactic leader and renowned statesman is referring to his present parental task of changing his granddaughter, Elizabeth Marie Royston’s diaper. She is a happy cute and cuddly six month-old baby who can’t hold still for one second. Well, at least they have leak-proof diapers now, he thinks as he wins the small scuffle, completing the task. Meredith slyly smiles as she stands off to the side holding their own baby, Corey Henry Royston, just three month’s younger than Beth. The First Mom of the Galaxy watches her husband’s predicament. She starts to offer him advice on keeping little Beth’s attention on something else while he changes her, but Meredith enjoys watching him squirm over the situation too much."...

Rave reviews from readers... "I love the fast pace of From Here to Everywhere. The characters are strong and vivid. I dove right into the pages and stayed until the last word. Then for days I carried the story around in my head, wishing I could be teleported to the store... to the other side of the world. Magnificent!"-Diane Batten author of the Books of Pal-Li. "With the background that I have as an engineering / technology Teacher, I was fascinated with the up-to-date and new to-come technology that Mr. Joseph was able to develop in his books. His engineering vocabulary is astonishing; ...Mr. Joseph's fiction is on the cutting edge of being real. In time when his books become top selling movies everyone will be visualizing the future." - Mark Hines, Engineering Technology teacher, Dalton High School, Dalton, Georgia "I finished the book over the weekend. Yes, you can post it on your website. I know someone who would enjoy reading the series and will plan on giving them Book 1 for Christmas. I really like the idea of teleportation and how you developed it in ‘From Here to Everywhere’. I was glad to see how they defeated the dishonest and were able to think of how to change future situations by what they just experienced. Also, how the families they could trust were very interested and willing to assist them in the project. I truly enjoyed the story and was sorry to see the book end. I am looking forward the next ones. It is easy reading and like other reviews, you don't want to put the book down. Thank you again for a wonderful look into teleportation." Sincerely, Carol Glardon, Bolingbrook, IL "Rob, I have just finished reading Everywhere in the Omega Galaxy once more you have have kept me captivated. Hard as I try to understand teleportation it is just beyond my ability to understand. Thank you for another great read." Dicksie Francis , Dalton, Georgia "As a teacher of reading on the high school level, I am always looking for books for my kids. From Here to Everywhere is a book that would hold their interest, I don't have to worry about language or bad "stuff". It is an "easy read" and very, very interesting. Thanks to Mr. Joseph! My question is, "When will the next one be available?" - Pam Hines - High School Reading Teacher - Dalton, Georgia "Rob, just finished book 3 last week. In my opinion it's your best yet. This one I had a tough time putting down and used lunch breaks and plane rides to their full extent. You ask at the end for comments on a book 4 (moving from a trilogy to a quadrilogy - if there be such a word) I'm curious to where you will take us next so I recommend you dust off the keyboard and get started." -Dave Wilson, Woodridge, IL "In reading Robert Joseph's second book, 'Everywhere and Beyond', I could not lose the impression of what is possible when good men engage in a good work. Without sex or explicit acts of violence Robert Joseph is able to captivate his readers by a detailed and realistic expression of humanity's greater aspirations to explore. A very positive uplifting expression about all that is good and right about humanity's struggles to find it's place in an ever complex universe. "This is a book that sticks with you and makes one think. It will keep you up late at night as one chapter quickly leads you into the next. A strong recommend read for all those who believe in the good that stands within each man's hopes and dreams. I cannot wait to read his third book..." -Bill Campbell, Quality Engineer - Chatsworth, GA . "Rob, You really hit your stride with this book('Everywhere in the Omega Galaxy'). I think every book has drawn me a little deeper into the families and lives of the people you have brought to life. This is the best one yet and I am looking forward to the next one. The technology is there with just a hint of something beyond this world that we know. You have captured the essence of each different planet and made the readers want to know them better and understand them more. I like the fact you have let the families grow and develop throughout the three books. I was just waiting for that first interplanetary marriage and I like who you chose to be the first. It flowed so well and you made sure the reader was involved in the book. You know that I thought you might have interwoven the Church a little too much for lay readers in your first book. THIS ONE WAS JUST RIGHT. Never loose the essence of our creator and what life is all about both in this world and the world to come but you blended it into the story so much better. A job well done. I want to be the first one to know when the next one comes out." - Dave Bledsoe, Retail store manager, Dalton, Georgia “So far, a great read! I'm so pleased to find a good book that satisfies my urge for sci-fi and his urge for action. I'm also pleased to not have to wade through curse words and other muck just to entertain and enjoy myself. I'm sure the rest of the books will be just as good as this first one is. Keep up the good work.” - Pamela and Alan Reed, Rocky Face, Georgia. "I picked up Book III and read all again. I thought the segment on time travel was really good. For me, the major question would be changing history. I liked the dialogue and it answered my questions. The events are rapid fire after that - and that is the way teleportation and time travel occur! I could see this in a movie . . . . the audience would be flashed from place to place to see the events. In the original time, a young couple picnicked and then BOOM! Their entire world was space dust. After the Time Travel Team takes the Spectari ship we see that same couple continuing to enjoy their picnic - seeing the asteroid in the distance just disappear! Well, Spielberg would do it better . . . . :) If these can't be published, maybe we should just go for the movie . . . I just love the whole concept of these books. ... What wonderful "feel good" books based on a unique ingenious idea! I have enjoyed so much reading this and eagerly await the conclusion! On the one hand I want to know how they find and deal with James, and on the other I will hate to see the last page read . . . Good work, Rob! I am sure (a mainstream) publisher will be smart enough to recognize your genius. " - Angie Turbak - formerly Lisle, Illinois, now Fuquay Varina, NC. From Here To Everywhere was Great! ...Being a Mom, & a teacher-- it really moved me! I loved the attention to Detail, & I'd like this to be an actual mode of transport in the here & now. I regret the distractions that took me away from this book-- once I got started, it was difficult to go on to "business as usual"--I look forward with anticipation to the other two. I aslo enjoyed the book because my Dad was a newspaperman and I could relate to that part of the story... - Rhonda Joseph(No relation I am aware of) - Dalton Georgia "I am a reader who marvels at the author's imagination! Everywhere in the Omega Galaxy is great! The capabilities and possibilities of teleportation had already exceeded my vision - then you introduce time travel! Those Spectari are cunning and ruthless . . . . . there can be no heroes without a formidable villain! All new characters introduced are given lives and we are brought into them. We rejoice in their happiness, understand the parent's concern for their children still struggling to 'find themselves', sigh with the trials of young love, all amid the thrill of this ever evolving technology. The "Joining Day" was touching and well woven into the fabric of this story; giving dimension and insight into those characters and their culture - and bringing the reader closer to them. Few among us have never experienced love and wished such joy for all. Meanwhile, galaxy-wide we see the civilizations previously controlled by tyrannies that mirror our own world, now trying to understand the complexities of "freedom" and "equality." All these elements are smoothly woven into the story. Where will this awesome technological discovery of 'time travel' take us? Can we locate the Spectari before they destroy the Omegans - or return to Earth and reign havoc by stealing devices that will allow them to become a threat to the Universe??? Will Greg and Jenny ever confess their feelings?? Stay tuned . . . . . . I now eagerly await the completion of the book. Can I put in an advance order for two copies?" - Angie Turbak, Fuquay Varina, NC. "I found From Here to Everywhere an interesting and well-paced book that kept me interested throughout the entire book. The flow of the book and development of the characters was well done. The premise of the book kept my interest because it dealt with a subject I think any fan of science fiction has always thought about. The characters were well defined and I got a real sense of who they were and what they felt they needed to do to make the world a better place to live. Some might take issue with the use of a semi-religious theme, but I believe you could never have understood their motivations and desires without this part of the book. (The Author) took the best and worst of humanity and blended it into a very enjoyable book. I look forward to reading the next book in the series." - Dave Bledsoe, Retail Manager, Dalton, Georgia. "I started reading (Book III) and reluctantly left it when my daughter and grandson came over today. It's already got me hooked!! Rob, what the world needs is to be able to read something uplifting and hopeful. Something that when you close it you wish the characters were real. Something that leaves you with a warm, good feeling deep inside. Your books do that. And number three is right on! Thanks for this opportunity(to preview it). I consider it a blessing and privilege to be able to read this." Angie Turbak, Fuquay Varina, NC. "I finished your book From Here to Everwhere last night. I admire all the situations you have brought up in regards to teleportation. What a creative imagination you have. I really enjoyed it. Oh, and how great to bring a romance and marriage under the supervision of the Presidents wife. You get a gold star for that. Keep up the good work." - Arthur Kocherhans, Murray, Utah "So far, a great read! I'm so pleased to find a good book that satisfies my urge for sci-fi and his urge for action. I'm also pleased to not have to wade through curse words and other muck just to entertain and enjoy myself. I'm sure the rest of the books will be just as good as this first one is. Keep up the good work. "- Pam and Alan Reed, Rocky Face, Georgia “Wow! ‘From Here to Everywhere’ is a great book! This book has really inspired me to be a good missionary and at the same time taught me to make the right choice in romance and boyfriend – in the future of course. But it just shows that you can build your spirit. Also this book is filled with adventures and problems while trying to make a breakthrough of a lifetime. So mostly I’d recommend this book.” Christalyn Decker – Turning age 12 "Robert, you have a great book(From Here to Everwhere ). I got started by learning that word teleportation. How fascinating. I am now ready to start chapter 17. I admire how you can think of all the angles you have for your story. I'm anxious to see how Dr. Vaughn and his group are going to use their work for the good of mankind." - Arthur Kocherhans, Author of "Lehi's Isle of Promise" "I finished your second book yesterday. I am happy to say you are a good story teller and I am always impressed with the way you are able to tell the stories and keep all the things together. Everywhere and Beyond has all the good qualities found in From Here to Everwhere and adds another exciting element with the introduction of the Spectari with unrelenting attempts to do bad. Even to the end, if in fact their end has been seen, they were not remorseful for the wrong things done. How like some of those upon our earth. I enjoyed your perspective about life upon other planets." - Norm Johnson, Woodridge, Illinois, Laboratory Director "Rob - I just finished Book II and it is even better than the first "Everywhere!" The new characters added to "the family" are just what we would hope to find "out there." The action is non-stop and once I began reading I could not put it down until I finished. It is an exciting, and wonderful story dealing with unique subject matter. I could only hope this would become reality. It is so rare today to pick up a book and feel uplifted by its reading. Again, I was sorry to read the last words, close the book and leave these people I have come to think of as new family. Looking forward to Book III. All success in its completion!" - Angie Turbak, Lisle, Illinois " I completed Book I last night. Some former reviewer said, "Wow" and I second that. I could not predict the events that would happen and they moved so fast that I couldn't read rapidly enough to find out what was coming next! The ending was superb. If ever there was a book written that I would hope to become a reality, this is THE ONE. Especially now when peace is just a distant dream and hope. I love the cast of characters and hated to leave them when the book was finished; I wanted to stay with them. That's all I have time to write - Book 2 awaits! And I hope Book 3 won't be far behind??? I wish you success with the publisher, Rob. Your wonderful book will be just a real treat for any reader." - Angie Turbak, Lisle, Illinois "From Here to Everywhere" is a good read that is very hard to put down. I enjoyed reading it for the first time. I felt like I was actually transported into the story with the characters, witnessing everything. A few months later, I had the opportunity to read it again, and it was just as good the second time as it was the first time around and still hard to put down. This would be a runaway hit so easily if given the right exposure. I'm glad I had the chance to be among some of the first to read it! - Tiffini Duff, Grand Prairie, Texas (Piano Teacher and Homemaker, and also Rob's eldest daughter) "Rob, the book is fantastic. I wanted nothing more than to have no other responsibility or duty and sit until I had devoured every word! A wonderful read, a thrilling adventure, a look to the future with excitement! And I'm not done reading!! Your characters are people I want to know and will hate to see them leave when the last page is read. Going to order #2 today so I can continue reading. Neil Zundel is correct. You do have the same audience. All success with your negotiations with the publisher! I would love to see these books get the exposure they need to that audience. Also, maybe then the author would have time to devote to book 3, 4, 5, . . . . . ." Angie Turbak, Fuquay Varina, NC. "A great read for Sci-Fi fans of all ages. I really enjoyed this book. I have always wondered how they discovered the transporter beams that they use in most of the Sci-Fi shows, and this book tells the tale. It has a lot of great action, adventure, humor and romance. I would best describe it as high tech Sci-Fi with a bit of old-fashioned, classic feel to it. It is reminiscent of the some of the early and original classic Sci-Fi masters like Anderson and Bradbury." - Robert R. Hotchkiss author of Earth of Fire, Sky of Ice. "Robert: I finished your book last evening. I found it enjoyable reading. It was both imaginative and suspenseful. I am sharing it with a friend. To me you have the same audience potential as the author of "The Work And The Glory" by Gerald Lund, published by Bookcraft, and "Children Of The Promise" by Dean Hughes, published by Deseret Book." - Neil W. Zundel, Oakbrook, Illinois - Retired President of the American Institute of Steel Construction "Recently read "From Here to Everywhere". It was a very interesting read. A book I could hardly lay down. I read it in four evenings. The characters were interesting, the story line was good and I could hardly wait to see what was to occur next and best of all I did not have to be bothered with smut or bad language. I will want to read the next one when it becomes available." - Norm Johnson, Woodridge, Illinois "Wow, that was the first word that came to mind as I laid the book down just after finishing the first chapter! The story line is not only solid, but believable. I think the strength of the characters just adds to a very strong story line. 'From Here to Everywhere' reminds me of Ray Bradbury's style of science fiction, by mixing real science and fantasy. Also, just as Jules Verne's fantasy became reality over time, I truly believe that 'From Here to Everywhere' has that same potential. A must for those that prefer their fiction mixed within the possible!" - Steve Hiyane, IT Technologist, Chicago, Illinois "I have just completed reading "From Here to Everywhere" and can honestly say that I've never read a book where the fiction wasn't too far from the truth. In 366 pages, you've encompassed such topics as nuclear disarmament, problems with the transportation industry, worldwide economic issues, good vs. evil -- and, on top of all that -- religion and a fundamental belief that man is altruistically good in nature. The folks at PAX should consider making a film from it. It's a good read for all; grownups and children alike. No sordid sex scenes, no abusive language -- and the best part, no demonic Steven King-like satanic garbage that made me feel like I needed to sleep with the lights on with a rosary in hand. Your characters are all well developed and very authentic. The first chapter with the White House and the First Lady's rail trek lured me in. Your book took me on an adventure that I ordinarily wouldn't have taken; definitely an adventure. Thank you. -Elizabeth Ahlenius Palatine, Illinois - Legal Secretary (Among other great things) "Rob,I throughly enjoyed your book and look forward to your next. As one who generally reads only technical journals, this was a refreshing change from the "have to read to keep up with what's the latest", to the "fun to read". I originally thought I would use the book for additional reading material on plane rides, but somewhere between Chicago and Salt Lake I was hooked and could not put it down untill it was finished. Accolades to the author who was able to paint a vivid picture in the readers mind of the events and characters in from "From Here to Everywhere".-David Wilson, Downers Grove, Illinois
