"This standalone fantasy brings an ancient Egyptian mystery to life against a modern background, in a tale expertly crafted by a seasoned anthropologist. Set against the glory and tragedy of ancient Roman Egypt, this novel brings to life the greatest love story of all time. Sixteen-year-old Hal Stevens is a budding historical scholar from a small town in Colorado. A virtual outcast at high school, he has only two friends: Roberto the Biker Witch and Cleo Mallawi. Cleo claims to be the reincarnation of Queen Cleopatra. She also believes she's being stalked by an ancient Egyptian demon, Ammut, the Devourer of the Dead. But when Hal and Roberto find Cleo murdered in the forest near her home, it appears she may have been telling the truth. Her last request sends them journeying to Egypt with famed archaeologist Dr. James Moriarity, where it quickly becomes clear that Cleo has set them on the search of a lifetime: the search for the lost graves of Marc Antony and Cleopatra. But they are not alone in their search. Cleo's murderers are watching their every move. And not all of them are human..."-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

I loved Roberto. He was pagan and cast spells at times (off page). Those outcomes came to pass, and while it could have been coincidence, it's more magical to think he really did. He's practical though, and doesn't believe just anything. Really, it's like magic as science.
I loved the history and the archaeology! I’m a big fan of the Gears’ First North Americans series and offshoots. Egyptian myth is fascinating and Egyptology equally intriguing. This was the first book I've read by Kathleen alone, and I found the tone quite different! In fact, I almost shelved reading it at the time because it didn't 'feel' like a Gear novel. I'm glad I stuck with it after all. It's given me an even greater appreciation for the Gears' writing.
