At first glance,"To Wake the Dead" seems to be just another tired retelling of "The Mummy" or one of it's endless incarnations. I was actually a bit disappointed, thinking this was below Lamon.
However a couple of intriguing back stories with kicker twists kept me reading.
All in all, this is a pretty good book but not necessarily one of Lamon's best. The plot is a bit jaded and the tie-in to the backstories is a little weak but it is worth the reading.
As usual with Richard Lamon, there is plenty of gratuitous graphic splatter and a hammer-down writing style which is just what you expect from this author. If you like Lamon, you will probably like this book.
