"I read the Smiting Texts and really
enjoyed it." Beket Aten
'A really fun read, lots of romping through Egypt at various
archaeological sites.'
Goodreads
'A delightful
investigative novel, which takes the reader into a labyrinth of conspiracy theories and
government cover-ups.
The thriller takes
off with a murder of an Egyptologist, dragging in his son and the US Department of
Homeland Security.
The renegade
archaeologist son, Anson Hunter, is then joined by a Coptic Egyptian girl and the US
intelligence team on a roller coaster ride through Egypt followed by radical elements and local
authorities.
Hints of a secret
which should shake the foundations of major world religions makes it a hard to put down book
and draws on the author’s vast knowledge of his favourite subject,'
L. Machado
'An intellect's
version of The Mummy...
If you like
the ruminations of an obsessive and have a particular penchant for Egyptology,
Roy Lester Pond provides a sumptuous feast on which to devour multiple strands
of Egypt's ancient past and potential future.
Initially set
out as an ambiguous investigation by the US Homeland Security into a possible
terrorist threat culminating in the recent murder of controversial
Egyptologist, Anson Hunter's father - the plot is interspersed with a tale of
ancient Egypt. An ancient hunter's fate to recapture the Goddess of devastation
and entomb himself with her in order to save Egypt is particularly beautiful
and lifts the overall book beyond the normal conspiratorial-action-thriller.
An Indiana
Joneseque ending, but otherwise a wonderfully clever and original story.'

'What a great book. This deserves a far wider audience than the Egyptology community!'
