      About This Book

      Stone ground against stone. The earth shook. Walls trembled. In a gush, sand poured from slots in the wall. Dust swallowed the air. A secret sanctuary has been breached. And so begins the tale of a prehistoric crystal cylinder seal, discovered in a passage beneath the base of Cheops' Pyramid. Because of its ultimate secrets, Egyptologist Dr. Karl Cassim's only daughter is taken hostage; Cairo's Minister of Police betrays his office; and the chosen must prove their worthiness by passing through the Seven Gates of Osiris. With the assistance of American astronomer Julian Rutledge, renowned British Egyptologist Sir E. Osborne Hunsdon, museum curator Nancy Gottlieb, and the very things he debunked — gods, curses, and magic — Dr. Cassim discovers a prophecy, a warning for the New Age of Man. Everyone's life will be changed.
