Product Description
Synopsis
Jock Slater, artist and Egyptologist, is 'taken over' by a reincarnated Ancient Egyptian Queen. She mesmerises him into a fantastic painting of when she was a young bride (for she is now a very old lady), so she can return to her own time. But, one vital ingredient is missing: the Maat Mirror, or Mirror of Time; and in order to retrieve his sanity and his freedom, The Artist risks travelling the False Door of Time into the ancient Dimension of Nethertime. Here, aided by the genies, Ogadile and Smirtin, The Artist pursues an epic journey where ancient forces of evil employ their magic and trickery to possess the Mirror for their own sinister purposes, and to prevent the Queen from resurrecting.

I Recommend "The Sacred Eyes of Time",
This review is from: The Sacred Eyes of Time: Book One in the Trilogy of Nethertime (Paperback)
My childhood fascination with Ancient Egypt grew into a scholarly obsession as I matured. Nevertheless, I still appreciate modern artists' interpretations of ancient themes, and literary works of fiction. I have high expectations; Turneramon's "The Sacred Eyes of Time" does not disappoint. It is well researched, well paced and truly imaginative.Set in the real world of late 20th century Upper Egypt and an imaginary place called "Nethertime," it is a clever blend of fact and fantasy. The author obviously made the best use of his years in Luxor familiarizing himself with the local landscape's modern and ancient features, and scholarly volumes at hand in the research library at Chicago House. Jock Slater, the main character (and seemingly Turneramon's alter ego), experiences an adventure like no other. He is part tragic hero, part modern-day swashbuckler; his love of "arak" and his obsession to paint the penultimate picture land him in a setting that no amount of canvas could ever capture. It's understandable why the author laid down his brush momentarily and reached for a pen! Turneramon's descriptions of places, real and imaginary, are so vivid that I find myself repeatedly transported into that other Nethertime dimension. Every detail is laid out before the reader's eyes; Jock will sweep you into the scene before you realize what's happened. The book is a confluence of the author's rich imagination, clever wit, dry humor, and expansive vocabulary; he's sent me to the dictionary on several occasions. It's quite extraordinary and I expect the remaining books will be, too. I highly recommend "The Sacred Eyes of Time." It's unique, engaging, and entertaining.
