About this listen

She glanced down at the drawer in which she kept all her floppy disks. That and all the other drawers had been pulled out and thrown on the floor. They were empty, of course; along with the disks, all her notebooks and photographs were missing. Her last connections with the seventh scroll were lost. After three years of work, gone was the proof it had ever existed.

A hunt for treasure. A battle to stay alive.

When Royan Al Simma is the victim of a vicious attack that leaves her husband dead, her only thought is that she must continue their joint work: to use the secrets of the seventh scroll to find the hidden tomb of Pharaoh Mamose and its untold trove of lost Egyptian riches. To do so, she must bury her grief and partner with the eccentric aristocrat Nicholas Quenton-Harper, a man who shares her passion for the ancient world.

But the men who killed her husband are not yet finished. As Royan and Nicholas draw closer to the Pharaoh's tomb, enemies are gathering - people who will stop at nothing to ensure the scroll's promised treasures are kept from Roman's hands....

Although this book recovered from the disappointing first in the series, it still lacked some depth. However it gripped me enough to want to listen to the next book.

When I finished the first book in this series (River God) I wasn’t ready at all to come back to the modern world. So it took me a bit to warm up to this sequel, which jumps from ancient Egypt to the 20th century (pre internet and mobile phones). But after I pushed myself through the first couple of chapters, I warmed up to the story. It’s a Dan Browniesque adventure, imbued with historical clues and religious symbolism. Having said that, what I really care about in this series are full books set in pharaonic Egypt. Hope the next book, Warlock will not disappoint! P.S the narrator is excellent!

Great read
