Saxon Andrew: Juliette's dream

Greyson knew Daulun was going to go absolutely crazy over Mallory’s disappearance. His succession was endangered and he knew more planets were going to die. He wondered why the attacking Searcher had not just blown-up the planet. Then he realized, there were two Searchers.

The Lens of Time

A new series by Saxon Andrew

Introduction

C hristopher 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 needs to do is travel one light year away and you can see what was happening on the planet a year earlier by capturing and focusing the reflected light that left Earth. There’s only one problem, no ship exists that can travel faster than 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 rather than defend his creation against critics and government 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 at the building of the Great Pyramid of Khufu five thousand years in the past. Christopher’s device would allow her to do just that. Christopher is about to discover that the organization Jillian works for has engineered a starship with a faster-than-light stardrive that will allow his device to be tested. The stardrive for that ship was developed from diagrams carved on the back of an ancient stone tablet excavated at the site of the Great Pyramid.

Life for Christopher is about to make a radical departure from his party, happy go lucky, lifestyle. Getting Christopher to focus on what needs to be done is another problem that Jillian hadn’t counted on in her quest to save humanity. The predicted destruction of Earth, which is written on the front of the tablet, doesn’t give her much time.

What neither of them know is that the answer to survival is more than sixty five million light years away in light that left Earth just before the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.
