Time travel is the concept of moving between different moments in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space, either sending objects (or in some cases just information) backwards in time to a moment before the present, or sending objects forward from the present to the future without the need to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate). Some interpretations of time travel also suggest that an attempt to travel backwards in time might take one to a parallel universe whose history would begin to diverge from the traveler's original history after the moment the traveler arrived in the past.

By J. R. Burton Professor Robert Cooper, Egyptologist, is transported from London, England 2010, to Ancient Egypt Eighteenth Dynasty, 1334-1335 BC. The Professor has a serious car accident at precisely the same time that Pharaoh Tutankhamun, is murdered by a servant of General Horemheb, and the essence of the Professor enters the body of the King, at the same time as Tutankhamun’s soul is leaving his body, for the afterlife. This miracle is brought about by the actions of the three main Gods of Ancient Egypt, Amun, Ptah, and Neith, who want ten more years of productive life from Tutankhamun, for the benefit of Ancient Egypt, after his father King Akhenaten almost sent the country into total ruin. The gods have chosen the Professor, because he has made twenty trips to Modern Egypt over his working life, and they are aware of him, plus he has a very strong love of all things Egyptian, and as an Egyptologist at the British Museum has a very in depth knowledge of all things Egyptian, Modern and Ancient. After his accident Robert Cooper wakes up in Tutankhamun’s body in about 1325 BC, with the knowledge he is Robert Cooper, and is told by the Egyptian Gods, that he is required to assist them in giving Egypt another ten years of King Tutankhamun’s life span. He has many adventures during the ten year period (Ancient Egyptian time), which equals about six months in his own century, where he lays in ICU in a London Hospital in a deep coma. With his vast knowledge of Ancient Egypt, he is one of the few men on earth that could pull it off. But the thing that most impresses Egypt’s old Gods is his almighty love for Ancient Egypt. The people who murdered the real Tutankhamun, are given the same treatment by Robert Cooper-King Tutankhamumn, which is very satisfying. As the years go by, he learns to be a good and able King, with a number of very good friends assisting him. He fights wars, makes love to many women, and extricates himself from many problems that occur to ruling Kings over Ancient Egypt’s history. Soon Robert finds the two personalities beginning to merge into each other, and as the time goes by, he starts to feel like he is in fact King Tutankhamun. However, he cannot stay in the past forever and soon he must leave all his friends to return to his own time, but finds on returning that he has inherited a title and lands that give him a margin of power and money that he had in Ancient Egypt as King Tutankhamun…However, after being pharaoh and experiencing the power and glory that came with the title, can he readjust to his own time?

An epic battle rages in prehistoric Scotland. The mysterious and legendary Swordsinger leads his Celtic warriors against a maniacal zealot, King. King has created a ferocious army of grossly misshapen men by grafting animal parts onto their skins and dulling their pain with opiates. Swordsinger dies in that battle. In the modern world, Lock MacIain is a Canadian journalist with a wife and two teenagers. He is on assignment in Scotland when he comes to the attention of an elderly Duke. This nobleman determines that the MacIains are his nearest relations and, as such, the heirs of his estate. The Duke, although over one hundred and sixty years old, is vital and virile. He is also half-Faerie and has an inherited ability to time travel. When the Duke observes the unearthing of an ancient, well-preserved body, the MacIains become entangled in the discovery. Florry MacIain, Lock’s teenage daughter, is attacked by the same outrageous beasts that killed Swordsinger. Just as it seems the entire family will also be destroyed by these creatures, Florry becomes something different: she glows like a star, strikes down the beasts, saves her family, and then collapses. Florry discovers she has the remarkable power to heal. Read an ExcerptRating: Adult, Young Adult http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/BookDetails.asp?BookID=286341&Origine=2104 |
