Purchase options and add-ons

You need godly powers to catch a time lord...

For his newest assignment, Bernie is sent to Planet Flo to investigate a disruption in the manufacture of a glowing powder the gods want for their world. Bernie must convince the mine owner to reopen the mines, but as he travels to and from the world, every visit gets stranger. The people he’s negotiating with keep forgetting who he is. Their society is becoming unrecognizable, and their technology is advancing at an alarming rate.

Bernie’s job is becoming impossible. An unknown force is undoing his work and propelling the people of Flo towards a dark future. If the gods don’t get their glowing powder, they will wipe out the entire civilization and repopulate the planet with another species, one more capable of producing the dust they want.

The only way Bernie can save the people is to stop the entity that’s undermining his efforts. But Bernie has no idea who or what it is. Could it be a threat from another universe? Could it be a new species evolving on the planet? How do you fight an enemy with the power to manipulate time?

As the fourth installment of the epic fantasy series, Bernie and the Time Lords packs the same amount of humor and wit while amping up the mystery, plot twists, and adventure.

Grab your copy now and join our young god as he faces off against his most powerful opponents yet - the masters of time.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

What can we say about an author who writes humorous fantasy about a young god who builds universes for a living? Meet Steve LeBel: a storyteller who masterfully blends wit, wonder, and wisdom into tales that readers can't put down.

Steve's bookshelves are a portal to his imagination, filled with fantasy, sci-fi, mythology, and the paranormal. But behind the laughter and adventures lies a depth that shapes his work. A former counselor turned hospital president, Steve brings a unique blend of empathy, intellect, and leadership to his storytelling. His fascination with psychology and science gives his characters heart and his universes structure, while his years as a Dungeon Master honed his ability to craft worlds that are as hilarious as they are immersive.

When Steve isn't writing, he's on a quest of his own. He’s explored Stonehenge, wandered the Acropolis, marveled at the Great Pyramids, and stood in awe at China’s Forbidden City. These travels inspire the grandeur and mystery found in his stories. What is he seeking in these faraway places? Perhaps the same thing readers find in his books: a sense of wonder, adventure, and the humor that comes with being human—or divine.

If you're ready to laugh, explore, and lose yourself in a universe of endless possibilities, Steve's novels await. They’re not just books—they’re adventures.

    Existing fans of this series should LOVE this "next chapter". Time travel is a hard Topic to include in a story and Mr. LeBel handles it very well. I appreciate the ongoing character development and the expansion of their "world view" too, and I eagerly look forward to the next book.
    Highly recommended!

    I was lucky enough to be one of the beta readers for Bernie and the Time Lords. I agreed to leave my honest review after reading the finished product. I really enjoyed all of the other books in the series so I was excited for this opportunity.
    Bernie is a young god whose job is to fix universes that are not meeting expectations. Bernie is tasked with fixing Flo and it proves to be tricky to fix. Bernie can't figure out how everything keeps changing and he's on a deadline to solve this problem.
    I have to say this book gave me all of the feels. I cried happy tears and tears of sorrow. I giggled and laughed. There were a few moments when I was on the edge of my seat. Steve LeBel does a wonderful job making you feel like you are right there with the characters.
    These books are written to be stand alone but I do think you should read the first three books. You won't be disappointed.
    Great job Mr. LeBel! I can't wait to read the next book. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Series
    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2022

    Unfortunately, here in our world we have no time travel, and so I’m forced to wait for each new installment in this series to come out. The Universe Builders series has been wonderful, so far, and I’ve done my best- but failed- to find another book that fills its niche as good as it does. It belongs in The Museum, the best in its field, that of literature with divine protagonists. Indeed, the absence of an equal makes the little lizard brain in me grumble and glower and try to worldbuild, myself, while I wait.
    But ultimately, I’ll wait with baited breath for the next book in the series to hit the digital shelves.
