Since their mother’s death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane.
One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a “research experiment” at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives.
Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them —Set— has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe – a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.
Hello, everbody some great dsiouisscn here.As a writer (some fiction, mainly biography), I find it INVALUABLE to read but to read GOOD writers. My writing skills increase if I am reading some terrific writing!I never keep count of the books read in number, but have long noted titles down, so I could potentially recall what books I’ve read when. I like tracking the little trends! Lots of 17th/18th century French history one year, for instance.The horrible part is finding decent fiction. I’m not sure I could find 80 books in a year I cared to read (I rather tend to haunt the used bookstore anyway.) Time spent reading is too precious not to love the book in your hands.k
