In this adventure thriller quartet, renegade Egyptologist Anson Hunter investigates the forbidden power of ancient Egypt and dangers for the world today.
(Excerpt from The Hathor Holocaust)
As he walked back to his hotel from The British Museum, he felt a
sense of exposure. Currents, people and events swirled around him like the cold
London air, crowding his world.
Fallen leaves from oak trees in a park
cluttered the pavement, curled up like papyrus scrolls, archaeological spoil
heaps of rust, yellow and brown. For a moment, his sneakers vanished under this
detritus of time and the seasons. Dead leaves, yet they crackled like scrolls
of power.
The pavement narrowed, the black railings of
the park pushing him closer to the street and the passing traffic, rattling
black London cabs and rumbling, red double decker buses that looked as if they
were about to overbalance. A gust from a passing bus scattered leaves.
What was it that drove him?
A desire to save the world?
He recalled the same question put to him by
the Egyptian man and the antiquities girl.
Aren’t you afraid you’ll trigger an
apocalypse?
Was it simply a hunger to feel the crackle of
the numinous, to find the great source of Egypt’s power heka?
