Lens of Time
The Pyramid Builders
In the first book of this very different SciFi series for Saxon Andrew, Dr. Christopher Connor has discovered a way to view the past. His invention collects light and focuses it such that events that occurred on Earth years ago can be viewed. All one need do is travel one light year away and events that were taking place a year before could be viewed. There’s only one problem: no ship exists that can travel faster than the speed of light, so his device cannot be conclusively demonstrated to function as advertised. That’s fine with Christopher, who would much rather party and have a good time than defend his creation against critics and governmental bureaucrats. Besides, “Who would pay to view the past anyway?”Jillian Gordon, an Egyptologist with a PhD in Quantum Physics, has discovered that the survival of Earth depends on viewing what happened during the construction of the Great Pyramid of Khufu five thousand years in the past. Christopher’s device would allow her to do just that, which is why she needs him to join her team. Christopher discovers that Jillian’s organization has engineered and built a star ship with a faster-than-light drive, which would provide the opportunity for his device to be field tested. The star-drive for that ship was developed from diagrams carved on the back of an ancient stone tablet excavated at the site of the Great Pyramid.
The predicted destruction of Earth, which is carved on the front of the same tablet, doesn’t leave Jillian much time and Christopher isn’t cooperating. Getting him to focus on what needs to be done is a problem she hadn’t counted on in her quest to save humanity. Life for Christopher is about to make a radical departure from his party, happy-go-lucky lifestyle.
What they don’t know is that the answer to Earth’s survival is more than sixty five million light years away; light that left Earth just before the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.
The Pyramid Builders is a full length novel filled with rich relationships and non-stop action and adventures.
Planet Predators
The Lens of Time series continues as Earth has managed to steal technology from both the Alliance and the Moet Empire. Earth’s star ships now stand up to the two strongest civilizations in the Galaxy. However they are millions of years behind the Blue Giant Ships who are planning to destroy all space faring civilizations in the Milky Way. The situation is made dire because the species that wiped out the Blue Giants and the Jenze four million years earlier is returning to repeat the process on new civilizations.
Even the Blue Giants have no chance against the returning warships from the giant galaxy, M-87 and time is growing short. The Moet and Alliance are evacuating their planets and Earth will be left behind to face the coming menace. The only hope of salvation is a crazy Captain that may be the difference maker in the coming war.
Planet Predator continues the action using Conner’s invention attempting to save mankind, but it might not be enough to save planets from the violet colored ships!
The series continues with twists and turns that will keep you reading. Enjoy a reader’s take:

Fun and engaging, with loads of suspense, the book is a rush from start to finish. New civilizations are found, new relationships made, and new tactics and technologies are developed. For being as short as it is, there's a lot in it. There's not as much full blown space combat as there is in the author's other series, but events are definitely moving in that direction and hopefully the next book will have some epic battles. I particularly like the choice to make the surrounding factions deal with each other in a big free for all, adding a new dimension to how Earth is able to navigate the various dangers presented and negotiate terms with a combination of 'big stick' tactics and misdirection
Pray for the Prey
In this third book of the series humanity has managed to avoid detection by the Violet Civilization while only losing nine planets in the Milky Way to the war fleet and are now faced with the decision to either keep a low profile hiding from the Violet enemy or join the war full force against the civilization killing Violet Ships. To join the war with only 1,200 main battleships and attempt to take on the 300,000 ships on a mission to attack Andromeda was surely suicidal. But to lay low and wait was just as dangerous. Whichever path they chose, everyone needed to take time to pray for the prey.Here are couple of reader reviews:
Amazon Customer: This is another excellent book in the Lens of Time series. Well paced, well written and excellent continuity of characters and story line. I can't wait for the next book. I say this even though I'm the type of reader who enjoys long novels of 500 pages or more.
Conquestor1: I have read the entire series. I found them provocative and in alot of ways a mirror to the history of Earth. I recomend them to anyone who enjoys a good read - difficult to put down once you start.
