Ring of Time 

Doctor Gerard Sutton leads a fulfilling life-teaching at a small university, pursuing his hobby of researching paranormal phenomena, and spending his summers on archaeological sites in Central America. Until, on a dig in Guatemala, a stranger gives him a remarkable artifact, a gold ring, old before men walked the earth. This ring will reveal for him 5, 000 years of human history seen through his own eyes. And so begins a journey through the ages that leads Sutton to become a "mind traveler" able to move in and out of the past at will. As the story unfolds, a misadventure traps him in the body of an otherworldly being-who may hold the key to unlocking the origin and history of the human race. The Ring of Time intertwines the long-explored concept of time travel with that of the out-of-body experience. It is a journey of intrigue and adventure across the ages that will hold readers to the last page.
