Jonas Quartermain Adventures

Rakitaki Publisher's Summary

The year is 1981. Eighteen-year-old Jonas Quartermain falls in love with archeology thanks to Raiders of the Lost Ark. Three years into his four-year degree, he is given the opportunity of a lifetime: work as a real archeologist on a dig in Egypt. He travels out of Ohio for the first time in his life and is shocked by the cultural differences in Cairo. He begins work and is quickly bored out of his mind.

Lucky, or perhaps unlucky for him, old bones and ancient jewelry are not the only things waiting for him in the African nights. An ancient mind awakens and begins haunting his dreams and his waking life. An enchanting woman at a club in Egypt tries desperately to drink his blood. At home in Akron, Ohio, he fights for his life against an old school bully seemingly driven mad by drugs. Jonas sets out to find answers; to understand how and why everything seems connected to his archeological dig in Egypt.
