“I do not believe that I am dreaming yet I can not prove that I am not.”

- Bertrand Russell

“The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.”

- William Blake

"I could see the past, present and future all at the same time"

Nikola Tesla's Time Travel Experience

“This is an intriguing blend of political power and spirituality, especially with the ancient Egyptians as a parallel to Smythe and his military position. Aguila's rescue as a spirit guide, along with Smythe's natural desire to keep such an experience private, gives an underpinning to his other international contacts. And the Ancient Order suggests that there might be a connection to all of these. I like archaeological stories yet this is working all of that into a present human mission, it seems.”

-Katherine Holmes, Barnes & Noble reviewer
