Andy
I can do that for you if you are still looking for someone...
I have a special thing for gavrinis since, over 35 years ago, I was 'christened' there... Something you could not do anymore...
I enjoy that kind of novels, but can be harsh on my comments if I don't buy the story, the style or whatever...
Born French -sorry- Breton, I have lived in English speaking countries for about 15 years now...
Cheers

Probably a very bad summary.... But here goes.
Alberto Pimpinelli renews the romantic novel by writing an astonishing archéo-astronomical fiction about Stonehenge.
Physicist and University professor, Alberto Pimpinelli lives and works near Clermont Ferrand. His first novel "Proof by the Stones" has as its theme the siege of Bagdad and the pillage of the Iraqi Archaeological Museum during the Gulf War. The author has imagined that a section of Sumerian tablets contained the solution to one of the most passionate prehistorical mysteries, Who built Stonehenge, and why.
Using the myths, religions, astronomical knowledge and mathematics of the ancients, the story guides the reader towards understanding a mystery until now incomprehensible, the significance of the engravings on the stone slabs of Gavrinis.
This work is available on the Lulu internet site ......

Could someone possibly do me a quick translation of this so I can put it in the main news items. In the meantime here is the French version:
Alberto Pimpinelli renouvelle le genre romanesque en écrivant une étonnante fiction archéo-astronomique sur l’édification de Stonehenge.
Physicien et Professeur des Universités, Alberto Pimpinelli travaille et vit près de Clermont-Ferrand. Son premier roman, « La Preuve par les Pierres », a pour toile de fond le siège de Bagdad et le pillage du Musée Archéologique d’Iraq lors de la deuxième Guerre du Golfe. L’auteur a imaginé qu’un lot de tablettes sumériennes contienne la solution d’une des énigmes les plus passionnantes de la préhistoire : qui a construit Stonehenge, et pourquoi ?
À travers les mythes, les religions, les connaissances astronomiques et mathématiques de nos ancêtres… l’histoire guide le lecteur vers la compréhension d’un mystère jusqu’alors jugé impénétrable : la signification des signes gravés sur les dalles de pierre du tumulus de Gavrinis.
L’ouvrage est disponible sur le site internet Lulu.com à l’adresse
