The popular Egypt series - now available in one monster book of three adventures.

 Totally spooky!!

 Amazon Customer:

“This book is great! This book had me spooked until the very end. I advise against reading it at night unless you're practically fearless.It makes you want to read until the very last word. I don't scare easily, but this book managed to scare me pretty bad. Plus, it's one of those books that you can read and re-read again and again. It's a great, scary book, that pulls you right into the action and doesn't let you out until you finish it. I recommend it to anyone that likes to be scared.”

Book 2 Who knows the secret of... THE MUMMY'S TOMB (USA) (Or 'The Mummy Tomb Hunt' (Australia)

Book 3 'The Mummy Rescue Mission' (Australia)

***** 5 star

“I literally consumed those three books when I read them! I sat and read the books in two days, and even when I wasn't reading them I was thinking about them. Though from memory I distinctly remember The Mummy Monster Game being my favourite, it's safe to say when I read them this time, the last in the series, The Mummy Rescue Mission was my favourite - I could literally feel the desperation Harry, Amy and Harry felt in trying to save Aunt Jillian. I had to keep reading at such a fast pace as though I had to keep up! I like the idea of mixing video games with Egyptology, being that both those things interest me. I'm glad I finally got my hands on these books…. now I can read them as often as I like.”

2 VIRUS novels about meteorite pathogens, 'THE RA VIRUS' and 'THE HERO VIRUS'

Interesting 'Big Think' article - a validation for two new novels 
 with an SF flavour

  2 novels about meteorite pathogens, 'THE RA VIRUS' and 'THE HERO VIRUS'

A pair of virus pandemic novels about meteorite pathogens - one set in Egypt, the other Australia

Here are two very different novels featuring mystery pathogens that both have an extraordinary impact on humankind.

One story is set in ancient Egypt in my time travel novel 'THE RA VIRUS: TEXT MESSAGES FROM ETERNITY', where an epidemiologist from today finds himself trapped in an Egypt during a reign of pestilence. An 11th Plague of Egypt?

Did an obelisk shaped, oriented meteorite bring a virus to ancient Egypt, sent by a vengeful god Ra? Can Lucas Burrows save the people and his archaeologist love Giulietta who is digging at a contaminated site in the future?

The other novel is based in the mysterious Australian outback.
Showers of meteorites bring a space virus with a starting effect in 'THE HERO VIRUS'. 

The virus suppresses the cautionary impulse of fear in the amygdala of the human brain, creating reckless courage... and world chaos.

THE HERO VIRUS

'A spinning cylinder curved around the mummy’s head like a night sky arching over Egypt.'

'The Egyptian Mythology Murders'.

The radiation scan - at a dose lethal for the living - blasted through her linen windings. It was like a penetration of sunlight warming the bones after the ache of the desert night.

The machine hummed. A spinning cylinder curved around the mummy’s head like a night sky arching over Egypt.

The sand-dry cells of the body, spread out in an undulating landscape on the CT tray, stirred in a sudden breath.

Life! Resurgent life! It eddied, thickened, mounted in force, blowing, gusting, then blasting through the mummy like a desert sand storm...

UPDATE: MUMMIES EXHIBITION REPORT. A delight, yet the modern guilt of the zoo hangs around today’s exhibitionism

The moral dilemma - and delight - of mummies

The Egyptians called their wrapped and mummified dead ‘The Helpless Ones.’

Carry that thought with you as you step with me into the darkness of an exhibition area, following dim passages like a tomb.

A pre-emptive video greets you as you stand in the company of fellow visitors.

The new Egyptian Mummies Exhibition at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum is all about science and real lives, you are informed. Modern, non-invasive CT technology does not disturb the sanctity of the dead.

We've come a long way from this

Just a twist of the knob on a display shows what lies beneath.

And yet...

A little while later, as I gaze down at the ancient Egyptian chantress Tamut, (and wonder if I should pry into her personal medical scans, available on a display) I can’t help feeling a twinge of guilt.

Is the modern technology of CT medical imaging, like Superman’s X-ray vision, any less invasive and voyeuristic than ripping off a lady’s clothing to see what’s underneath?

The mummies behind the glass are as helpless as animals behind bars.

Of course we love to peek at mummies. Just as we do at the magical creatures inside zoo enclosures. Both are wildly popular.

Yet both are relics of a grand age of imperialism over nature, history and culture.

Today, zoos and museums (with mummies) are both in the business of preservation. 

Themselves included.

The current is running against them. Which is a shame, because I like anything that popularises ancient Egypt (and that showcases our precious wildlife).

In fact, I feel a little churlish even thinking these thoughts because the latest exhibition is very very good and yes, quite sensitively handled.

It is also highly atmospheric.

The Egyptian authorities have tended to criticise the British Museum in the past for its choice of moody lighting in exhibitions, but I’m all for mystery. Let's avoid the fairground.

So go see it - and enjoy some guilty pleasure. 

There are lots of wonderful things to see besides the mummies.

'Egyptian Mummies: Exploring Ancient Lives' runs until 25th April, 2017

It's not just the mummies that revivify ancient lives for the beholder, but also little gems like these

THE MUMMIES ARE HERE : New World Premiere Egyptian Exhibition

Looking forward to a mummy fix visit tomorrow - last time I saw some of these guys was at the BM in London

I do love an Egyptian Exhibition.
