An excellent and well told story...

Shara Locke is the governor's daughter. She is an innerworld scientist specialising in genetics and determined to prove that her mother does in fact have Noronian blood. Her life is haunted by her parents fame and the fact that she is a mixed breed means she endures the cruel predjuices of her peers though their actions and though her thoughts.One day a Lantana, who is from the future appears in Shara's parents home requesting Shara's help. He claims that in his time the people of the Innerworld are cut off due to the passages collapsing from the work of Khameria.He gives Shara the tempomoter (time travelling device) and his notes help her discover how it works.Despite Shara's protests she is refused permission to embark on the journey that will save the world and attempts to break all the rules to save the future. Gabriel Drumayne (Professor of History and Cheif Procurer of Antiquities for Norona) follows her and sticks by her side relentlessly ensuring that Shara does not leave him behind as Gabriel has made up his mind to keep Shara out of trouble and from changing the future. A majority of this book takes place during the times of the gods Zeus, Athena, and Jupiter.On a personal note: I thoughly enjoyed this story. The flaws in myths were put to light and the solutions to them seemed realistic. Marilyn Campbell is excels at futuristic romance.This is actually the fourth book of the series {Pyramid of Dreams deals with Romulus and Aster (Shara's parents), Topaz Dreams (Falcon and Steve) and then Stardust Dreams (Vallant and Cherry)}.

EXCELLENT! MUST READ

This is the third book in the dream series. This book has many different twists and turn that will keep you reading long into the night. The way Shara feels about being the odd-one-out in the InnerWorld, then people start disappearing all over the place. The mysterious person that turn up to lead Shara and Gabreil on a serious wild-goose chase over time and distance ,not knowing that if she does what she has been told will destroy her family.Gabriel is the one who is the most pratical in the quest. As it is usually the woman who is pratical it was a change to let the male be serious. The way the plot leads you to the time when the Greek Gods rules and discribes in detail the orgies they had. Here is where Shara and Gabriel discover they attraction to each other and share the same 'mating fever'as the action gets more intense. I'll not tell the end , but definitely a must read and keep.
