In book four of the Megan Martin series, Megan, May, and Brianna set off for a distant planet on Christmas Eve. There they find a young alien woman about to lose her life to a prehistoric animal, which they must save. This woman is much too intelligent to be living in a prehistoric world, so they set out to figure out the reason these intelligent beings are living like cave people.
Megan discovered the crown not only transports to three-dimensional places but there are fourth-dimensional places she can go too once she learns how. In the end of novel 3 she discovers this place and she discovers a fourth-dimensional craft there she names “Orion.” Now she must show May and Brianna what she found and learn how to use Orion. They go on a journey to another star system where they discover a race of beautiful little people living among dinosaurs. They rescue one of the little people named “Xeba” and then discover a huge pyramid that holds the answer to the mystery of the little people.
It’s dark, it’s dangerous and it’s filled with excitement! Xeba may be small at 4 1/2 feet in height but she packs more punch per pound than anyone Megan has met. Xeba is braver than most people three times her size and her personality is delightful. Megan and Brianna discover that Xeba is a bit of a prankster too and she also has a secret. Another strange thing that happens is they leave on the night of Christmas Eve, they are gone for 3 days and return and it’s Christmas morning. Find out why Megan says..
“There must be a space in time.”
Excerpt
"This pyramid is no doubt really old and I want to know who built it and why." Megan answered as she began to move the ship around the structure searching each side of it until she was positioned to the north and looking toward the south at the pyramid.
"There, a doorway about 15 to 17 feet behind the outer casing stones."
"Oh no Megan, what in the world are you thinking?" May's eyes widened as she looked into the dark dank passage way.
"What?" Brianna asked as she looked over at May and Megan.
"What nothing, she's going to get us dragged through the bat crap in a dark tunnel down there that's what! Just look at her, she's got that look in her eyes again! You know that look! May warned.
Brianna looked back at her view screen and since Megan had flown all the way around it Orion had made a full 3D image of the structure. "Smooth angled casing stones kinda like the ones that were on the Great Pyramid of Giza. Um, let's see." Brianna moved around the structure. "I see portals or shafts of some kind entering the structure in several places, maybe they are air vents?"
"We are all going to die on a foreign world and our parents won't have a clue what happened to us!" May moaned.
"Oh stop being such a baby May!" Megan told her.
"Why do you care about a, ah, well a 10,000 year old pyramid on an alien world for anyway?" May whined as she held her hand out toward the image on the view screen.
"I'll tell you why, because Xeba knows way to much to be a descendent from some primitive race of beings on a planet covered with prehistoric creatures that's why." Megan said as she zoomed her view into the dark shaft as far as she could. "Why did it stop? Why can't I see into that place?"
"The density of the structure appears to be preventing me from scanning into it." Orion answered.
"Fine!" Megan got up and walked to the seat just to Brianna's left and began sorting through the pockets. "Blue crystal!" Megan exchanged the blue jewel key in the crown putting the white one into her pocket then turned and looked at the dark downward tunnel again.
May and Brianna looked at each other, "See, I told you she has that look in her eyes again." May nodded her head warning Brianna they were all about to go to certain doom!
