recommend it to anyone that loves stories set in Egypt and secretly wish they were egyptologists.

great story.

Not a bad book, but very predictable and the narration is just awful, with shocking attempts to use different voices.

Story had hints of goodness although plagiarised Indy a bit. Characters are whiney and writing that seemed to keep repeating words to emphasise points made listening a bit tiresome and wanting to end. Narrator is ok but better suited to a doco about the war or something, listening to his Egyptian can be a bit irritating but that's just me. Story could have been wrapped up a few hours earlier a bit dragged out.

Bit to long...
