Publisher's Synopsis
Stanley Marshal is retiring from his position as a history professor at the University of Washington. The highlight of his retirement is a field expedition to Saqqara, Egypt, where he will manage the excavation of a mastaba, a burial mound that was recently discovered. The trip is planned for September-but, two weeks before Stanley and his assistant, Carlson Kramer, are scheduled to leave for Egypt, the professor receives an early morning call from a representative of the American Research Center in Egypt... ...an organization that has supported Stanley's work over the years. The ARCE representative informs Stanley that he must leave for Egypt immediately and travel to Giza because of an event that has taken place there in the last few days. Although Stanley protests the abrupt change in his plans, he agrees to make the flight the organization has booked for him and his assistant with the condition that travel arrangements are also made for a former student, Janice Totten... ...to whom the professor has become very close. The trip to Giza turns out to be a gathering of the world's best scientists and historians. Under the leadership of Alam Al-Moshara, an important ARCE representative, the scholars are confined to a local hotel for the purpose of working together to uncover the cause of several electromagnetic disturbances that have occurred just days before the group's arrival. Professor Stanley's knowledge of Egyptian history and the pyramids becomes significant to the Egyptian government and the global community as they discover the source of the devastating disturbance that makes itself visible over the great pyramids, and then expands across the earth. ...What they find may be the end, or is it a Timeless Awakening? Timeless Awakening takes us on an imaginary, technological journey to look at a civilization that has survived for over a million years, and has developed the means to control and manipulate the most fundamental physical laws of our universe, space, time, and gravity.
