A wonderfully sweet, historically-accurate Victorian Egyptian exploration, with ancient gods and buried secrets and deep loyalties, and a plucky American girl raised on the frontier -- not afraid to wear trousers and six-guns on a desert expedition, even if it scandalizes her British uncle. :->

If you liked the movie 'The Mummy,' this is basically the same setting, though a rather different story.

Good reading for those interested in archeaolgy and the ancient Egyptians. A little too much fantasy for my tastes, but good characteriztion & setting.

This started out as pretty much a mystery, and the fantasy part only comes in at the end. A little slow at first, rather plodding in the middle but with enough puzzles to keep the reader interested. Then the pace steps up with the discovery of the pyramid and takes you into a fantasy world to a nice neat ending, but I was rather miffed at the abruptness of it and wish Linkskold could have fleshed out the ending a little more. Still and all, another example of Lindskold's solid writing.

The first part of the book was pretty good. The last half was rather far-fetched. Not the best book I ever read.

This book was a little slow getting into the action but overall was a good read. Would recommend to others.
