A POPULAR BOOK POSTER Egyptian archaeology fiction - Egypt Eyes

What danger from Egypt's ancient past had the eye in the sky seen?


Excerpt from alternative Egyptologist Anson Hunter's blog:

A now legally blind young space archaeologist was the focal point of some murky conspiracy in Egypt and I was starting to care about her.
Does she have any idea how many secret eyes are watching her? I picture one of the satellites that provide space archaeology with its infra-red imagery as it rides in space in sun-synchronous orbit above Egypt. It is staring down on Constance, sending down explorative pulses, trying to probe beneath her surface to read her secrets.
Me and a blind girl?
Why not?
Love is blind and I quite like the unconventionality of it.
I’ve spent my life looking for the unseen mysteries of ancient Egypt and she has spent hers searching beyond the visible light spectrum through her satellite archaeology.
Maybe we belong together. 
It could be a very agreeable, symbiotic arrangement.
This union between alternative and mainstream Egyptology could help bridge the growing alienation of the two sides...
