This is the kind of book "The DaVinci Code" wished it could be. True, this will probably never become as popular as the aforementioned book, but I think it is in many ways better. It certainly fulfilled my need for a conspiracy-based adventure. Plus, it had the added bonuses of science fiction and spirituality; I have a sneaking suspicion the author is a Mormon based on the spiritual thread of the novel. The story revolves around a widower scientist who stumbles onto a strange electronic journal from the future that tells of a horrific disaster in only a few years' time. His effort to prevent this leads to a marvelously satisfying adventure. There is romance, humor, fantasy, everything a good story needs. I refrained from a five-star rating because it was a little lacking in character development and sometimes the philosophy detracted from the story rather than added to it. But four stars is still four stars and I would recommend this to anyone.

Imagine the possibilities if we could face our fears and take that leap of faith. Ethan, the main character gives us a sense that sometimes the only thing holding us back from the adventure of our lives is ourselves. This book was a shot of life. Well done.
Hard to put down!

I enjoyed the book very much. The many twists and turns were interesting and made it hard for me to put the book down. I started it on a flight while on vacation and finished it in just a few days as I continually wanted to see what was going to happen next. My Wife said "that must be a good book your always reading it." I would recommend it to any one that would love to read a book that is not the same old thing, it is very imaginative. Looking forward to the next book Ranse writes.

I found A Circle of Doors to be not only intriguing, but also very descriptive and a fun read. It stimulates consideration of what may be possible within scientific realms, spiritual planes and the human potential. The story, though rich and complete on its own, is also ripe for a sequel.
