Jeremy Logan, an enigmalogist, is
recruited to discover what is behind the curse that threatens Porter
Stone's expedition to locate the tomb of Narmer, Egypt's first
pharaoh. The tomb is purported to be located in the Sudd, a dismal,
almost impassible, swamp located in northern Sudan. As the expedition
comes closer to finding the site of the tomb, accidents happen. At
first, people are only frightened or injured, but the accidents
rapidly turn lethal. Events become particularly scary when the team
finally enters the tomb hoping to find the double crown of Upper and
Lower Egypt.
This is a fun read, particularly if
you're a fan of anything to do with ancient Egypt. The author points
out that much of the history is not factual, but it's close enough to
typical Egyptian history to make the novel believable. The characters
are well drawn and interesting. It's one of the factors that keeps
you reading even though the plot and who-done-it are easy to figure
out.
I enjoyed this book and recommend it
for escapist or beach reading. It's a fast paced thriller that will
keep you entertained.
I reviewed this book as part of the
Amazon Vine Program.
