Across Time: Love Eternal
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Across Time: Love Eternal is a Historical Science Fiction
Adventure of epic proportions, with multiethnic characters. It is a love
story, which lasts across the very depths of time.
Mysterious humans with occult powers, travel from the dawn of
civilization by way of a destructive time storm to recover stolen ancient
Egyptian artifacts. If they fail, the future of humankind will contain
the ultimate evil--worldwide slavery. Unknowingly, they are accompanied
across time by an ancient Egyptian monster.
Two impassioned lovers travel from the distant past by way of a vicious
time storm to the present time and rediscover the memory of their love,
which was lost by traveling in the vastness of time. Their love must
survive not only amnesia, but also the love intentions of various rivals,
and the aggressive pursuit of the cloned ancient pharaoh: Ramesses the
Great. The lovers are guided by a wise priest and scientist named Imhotep,
who in the time of the great pharaohs designed and was the chief
architect of the first pyramid in Egypt.
Across Time: Love Eternal is filled with mysticism, magic, future
technology, and the history and lore of ancient Egypt. Across Time: Love
Eternal an Adventure with Beginnings in Ancient Africa is a novel filled
with mysticism, magic, future technology, and the history and lore of
ancient Egypt, with its ancient spells, Pharaohs and pyramids.
It is a science fiction adventure of epic proportions, with multiethnic
characters. The story grapples with the historical implications of
African slavery, the pathology of the N-word, the destructiveness of gang
violence, the importance of the African-American Kwanzaa celebration, and
the ethnicity of the Pharaohs. It is a love story, which lasts across the
very depths of time. The story began in sub-Saharan Africa, 110 million
B.C., with prehistoric animals and quickly moves on to 11000 B.C., a time
when the Great Sphinx was carved by the Anu, a mysterious Black race of
people with occult superpowers. With an ancient miraculous device they
travel from the dawn of civilization to the present time to recover
stolen ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) artifacts. And they intermingle with
present day people and mischievous school-aged kids.
Across Time: Love Eternal can be used as a bibliotherapy reference for
adolescent and young adult readers. It may support the transition from
youth to responsible adult. The novel is largely a metaphor for
self-discovery filled with psychological meaning. It is a mesmerizing
tale for everyone in search of his or her own identity. The authentic
atmosphere, historical detail, and sizzling drama span across the ages
from a time of prehistoric animals to a future time of clones,
holographic images, and rapping, mechanical ‘bots.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

O. J. Harp, III, Ph.D. 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. |
INITIAL ACCLAIM
"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."

“This novel is beyond a love story. It is a powerful description of how
love and history can be combined to offer a solution to problems we
experience today. Dr. Harp does an excellent job at using the beauty of
the black woman as the source of strength for many characters in the
story. Throughout the adventure, the black woman has shown her dignity,
her pride and she is respected and admired by both friends and foes. To
conclude, I fell in love again with the black woman I know, and I owe my
marital rejuvenation to the magnificent words expressed in Harp’s novel.”
