When an amateur astronomer uncovers these mysteries he is caught in a deadly race to seek out the secrets of the past and carry them safely into the next age.
My Review: In all honesty, Iβve been sitting on this review for days now; not at all sure how to express myself. I donβt think my scrambled thoughts are going to get much better, so lets hope I manage to do this novel justice.

Well done! Another great review of your work. π
Would love to see a post here sometime on ‘how to market your novel’. I’m sure many writers would love to know where to start and what to avoid.

I have just read the review of your book on tiffanylovesbooks, this sounds a story right up my street… I have read many books on the pyramids and am presently reading Egyptian Dawn by Robert Temple. As a land surveyor and a bit of a mathematician, I even have a few theory’s myself… This sounds like a book I must invest in… lovely book review she gave you…

Thank you! I thought it was a great review as well (it made me blush) – she’s a very thorough reviewer and βtells it like it is – warts and allβ, which makes people like me a little nervous before the review comes out! π

The mathematical discoveries in this book are actually astounding… I have transferred an awful lot of his discoveries onto my computer to check with certain hypothesis that I have and have come across quite a bit that ties in with my theories on face slopes, positions, and layouts… a real mystifying phenomenon

I find it amazing that most people take these things for granted and don’t ever stop to think about the architectural, mathematic and advanced scientific knowledge of ancient people.
