Description
"Across Time: Love Eternal has everything, history, drama, imagination, creative expression. We have too few novels that have acted as a vehicle for teaching timeless messages. Dr. Harp is well versed in his historical material. He has taken history one step further. He engaged the challenge of conveying complex impressions and insights rooted in ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) history and culture and merging these notions with contemporary youth culture. As such, a wide audience should find this novel exciting and informative at the same time. Teachers can find many uses for the content. Adults in general and young people in particular can simply relax and enjoy the work as a novel, and return to it for further study. All praises to Dr. Harp for giving us a solid model of how to bring our culture to life." Dr. Asa G. Hilliard, III-Nana Baffour Amankwatia II Fuller Callaway Professor, Georgia State University ________________________________________ "Brother O. J. Harp, III has written a compelling novel that will capture your mind and encourage your spirit! Read it and then re-read it and you will be inspired!" Willie Jolley, Award Winning Speaker, Singer and Best Selling Author O. J. Harp III is a Clinical Psychologist, lecturer, and author. While working in the District of Columbia Public Schools, in the area of special education, he found the inspiration to write Across Time: Love Eternal. The novel is the first of a series of Across Time adventures. Across Time is a love story spanning the depths of time. It is a science fiction adventure filled with mysticism, magic, future technology, and the history and lore of ancient Egypt (Kemet), with its ancient spells, Pharaohs and pyramids.The authentic atmosphere, historical detail, and sizzling drama bridge the ages, from a past filled with prehistoric animals to a future of clones, holographic images, and rapping mechanical 'bots. The story begins in sub-Saharan Africa, 110 million B.C., with a prehistoric ten-ton crocodilian beast: SuperCroc (Flesh Crocodile Emperor) that attacked and ate huge dinosaurs. The novel quickly moves on to 11000 B.C., a time when the Great Sphinx was carved by a mysterious African race of people with occult superpowers, the Anu. With an ancient, miraculous device, they travel from the dawn of civilization to the present time to recover stolen Kemetic artifacts. Across Time can assist adolescent and young adult readers making the often-difficult transition from youth to responsible adult. The story is a metaphor for self-discovery, filled with psychological meaning. It is a mesmerizing tale for anyone in search of who they really are.
