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.
