'OLD HAT', THEY AREN'T. "I didn't know modern day archaeological mystery thrillers like this could be written today," a reviewer wrote.

Anson Hunter is a likeable, conflicted hero who grants value to the ancient sacred, yet probes forbidden secrets, hidden dangers and global conspiracies that take their impetus from ancient Egypt.

THE SMITING TEXTS. (An Anson Hunter novel) A clash of world superpowers thousands of years apart… ancient Egypt and modern America. First in a series of Egyptology adventure mystery thrillers. The murder of an Egyptologist rings alarm bells with the US Department of Homeland Security. Before he knows it they co-opt his son, controversial historian Anson Hunter, into an investigation that has stunning implications for US security. Yet soon their search attracts the attention of radical Islamists as well as the Egyptian authorities. Dark suspicions surface, suspicions that Anson's father found evidence of a secret that will shake the foundations of every major world religion. Soon, whichever way they turn, Anson and his team find themselves trapped in a labyrinth of intrigue and menace that becomes too hideously real. Anson Hunter's special knowledge as an alternative Egyptologist, theorist and phenomenologist may be the key to stopping a catastrophe. HATHOR'S HOLOCAUST. (An Anson Hunter novel) Can a rogue Egyptologist stop an ancient Egyptian apocalypse of plague and global scorching? (Available in Amazon Kindle edition and paperback.) An apocalyptic danger has arisen from the ancient past in Egypt today bringing a threat to the Middle East and also to the West - of plague, pestilence, fiery destruction and global scorching. Anson Hunter, controversial, alternative Egyptologist, theorist, blogger and phenomenologist is the hero of this historical adventure novel with a rich mythological vein. Followed by Western Intelligence organizations, shadowed by a mysterious androgyne assassin, he must race to avert a crisis in a quest spanning USA, Britain and Egypt. Who is behind the plan to trigger an apocalypse? Neo-religionists, Torchbearers with a dangerous New Age agenda, Christian dispensationalists who are eager to bring on the 'end times' or radical Islamists with a hatred of the West? In mythology, Ra Egypt's sun god, hurled an execration upon a rebellious humankind and, in a hot rage, despatched the scorching Eye of Ra, a holocaust sun in the form of the goddess Sekhmet, to destroy them. A marauding lioness, her breath spread pestilence and plague and her claws and teeth death as she swept through Egypt in an orgy of killing. Then Ra had second thoughts and halted her apocalypse. But the execration had been uttered and it was always feared that the inherently unstable agent of destruction - the Female Soul With Two Faces - would one day return to finish off what she had started, cleansing the earth. THE IBIS APOCALYPSE. (An Anson Hunter novel) Ancient Egypt’s forbidden power… the world’s fate written in stone. (Amazon Kindle and paperback.) Third in the series of Egyptology adventure mystery thrillers after 'The Smiting Texts' and 'The Hathor Holocaust'...Was Egypt's magical Book of Thoth originally carved in stone - on a stela - rather than written on a scroll? Anson Hunter, controversial alternative Egyptologist and theorist, is obsessed with locating the forbidden Stela of Destiny before the wrong people get hold of it. The Stela, or stone book, of Thoth, Egypt's god of magic, is the most powerful and malefic source of esoteric texts ever written. The texts bring frightening power but also a terrible backlash. Twice in history the contents have come to light - the first time in the reign of Rameses the Great, linked with the Plagues of Egypt and the suffering of the Hebrews, and in 1939 when a German Egyptologist took rubbings of the stone texts to Hitler's Germany before the horrors of World War II. Israeli Intelligence and its allies in the USA become alarmed when the Destiny Stela threatens to break into history once again. As they are all too aware, the Stela of Destiny is the Holy Grail for organisations and conspirators with dangerous political and religious agendas, both in the USA and in Europe. Anson embarks on an investigation under the cover of shooting a screen documentary, pursued by enemies and shadowed by striking Israeli Mossad agent Zara Margolin and suspicious Egyptian authorities, in a hunt that covers USA, UK and secret archaeological sites in Egypt. Can he find and penetrate the deadly series of chambers of the Sanctuary of Thoth that guards the Stela of Destiny before a dangerous new dawn breaks for humankind? 'The Ibis Apocalypse' is a danger-fraught adventure that unfolds against the background of ancient Egypt's enthralling legend and mythology.

NOW READ A PASSAGE FROM THE BOOK. What disturbed him more was the fateful ring of her words. “You will have to face your own personal demons that guard each doorway,” she said. “You must guess the guardians’ names to identify them first so that they show themselves and then face and conquer them, one by one.” His interest and nagging misgivings grew. “Or what?” “You fail.” “And?” “Failure means you don’t survive.” “My life depends on it?” “Exactly. It’s either you - or your personal demon. Only one can survive. Which is it to be?” It was a startling thought. Imagine if it were true and hell was a not a place of impersonal tormentors as traditional Christianity painted it, he thought, but rather one where the demons were those of your own making. Did the ancient Egyptians have a glimmer of this? “Face my demons? I’ve got plenty of those, but I wasn’t quite expecting a tour of hell,” he heard myself say. Hell had always been a troubling idea to him. As a writer with a childhood love of Egypt and a later leaning towards a faith, he had wrestled with hell as much as he’d wrestled with faith. Hell was exactly that to a thinker. Hell. And he wasn’t alone in his feelings, he learnt. Celebrated Cambridge University Don C.S. Lewis, ‘England’s must reluctant convert’ and author of the Narnia books had issues with hell and had surrendered only reluctantly to biblical authority. Of hell, he said: “There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power. But it has the full support of Scripture and, specially, of Our Lord’s own words...” There was no dodging it. The Apostles’ Creed, recited by millions in church every Sunday, hammered the stake firmly into the sand: Christ ‘descended into hell’ and on the third day he rose again. But if there were a hell, could it be anything like the Egyptian hell with its gateways and guardians?

Do you have an unpublished ‘treasure’ buried in the graveyard of your bottom drawer? By Roy Lester Pond

A book written and buried is like a treasure in an ancient Egyptian tomb, hidden forever.

No writer deliberately writes a book to bury in the graveyard of the bottom drawer. A writer composes words on a page, just as a composer writes notations on a music sheet, for it to be brought to life through the instrumentation of another’s sensibility. Who can truly write a book without the ghost of a hope that it will ever be experienced? It would be on a par with decorating an ancient Egyptian tomb. Its book cover (should it ever have one) would be like a sealed and buried entrance. Its pages would be like walls filled with words and drawn scenes, condemned to remain in utter darkness forever, never to come under the gaze of a living eye. Isn’t there always the lingering hope of an afterlife? A book written for the graveyard of the bottom drawer is truly a Book of the Dead.

Author Roy Lester Pond believes in an afterlife for books. Open one on Amazon Kindle or paperback.

Prince Khaemwaset, son of Rameses the Great, is known as ‘the world’s 1st Egyptologist’. Was his archaeological obsession AHEAD of its time - or was he perhaps a future Egyptologist OUT OF his time?

THE GHOST OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM

There is a certain statue in the Sculpture Gallery of the British Museum of the son of Rameses The Great, Egypt’s most illustrious pharaoh. The statue has an eerie attraction even today. In the 1900s a London group known as The Society of Inner Light regularly conferred with the exhibit in the Egyptian Sculpture Gallery, convinced that it was a medium for metaphysical activity and emanated unseen forces. She was an American historical writer visiting the British Museum's Egyptian Sculpture Gallery to research a new book. He was a legendary and enigmatic prince from ancient Egypt who desperately needed to undo a terrible mistake. Was the strange young man’s sudden materialization before Madeline just ‘cosplay’, or the result of an attraction between two souls across time? Would they share a mysterious quest on a journey through Egypt, and much more?
