EGYPT FICTION.
"The HATHOR HOLOCAUST" second in my series of Ancient Egyptian adventure mystery thrillers, follows "The Smiting Texts".
Can a renegade Egyptologist stop the re-activation of an ancient apocalypse of plague, pestilence and global scorching?
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.
