Lens of Time - The Pyramid Builders (Lens of Time (Book One))Did you ever wonder how a bunch of ancient Egyptians with primitive tools and a lot of slaves managed to build the Great Pyramid of Khufu? What if an alien race helped with technology, like an anti-gravity device?  Dr. Christopher Connor's about to find out because Dr. Jillian Gordon needs his new invention to view the past. The problem is that the only way to prove his device works is to travel at or near the speed of light.Thanks to a recent discovery of an ancient tablet, which predicted the pending end of the earth, the required stardrive is possible and ready to be tested. The question now is, will Jillian be able to overcome her detestation for the womanizing, hard drinking, male stereotype that Dr. Chris Connor seems to fit enough to work closely with him? Fortunately, his bad press was wrong, and Chris has far more depth to his character than her first impression indicated.The Pyramid Builders proves to be filled with six fascinating personalities who rise to the challenges facing Earth. There's a marvelous mix of scientific theories that explain the otherwise highly improbable events to make this tale both believable and engaging. Earth is saved for the moment from its ancient enemies. However, an even greater threat looms.Despite a few failures of the editing to catch errors, the tale in this YA science fiction romance is strong enough for me to give the book 5 stars. I'm eager to continue the adventures of these heroes.
