Alex and Mitch are the outcasts of the archaeological dig site they are working at in Egypt. Their supervisor/Professor,
Dustimaine, is out to thwart their every attempt at success. If he misses anything, his underling, Fessel C. Blothers, is there to
catch them.
One day, Alex and Mitch literally stumble upon a secret; a secret thousands and thousands of years old, unknown to anyone
but them. With the help of their lab tech friends, Jack and Bob, Alex and Mitch soon get snared in uncovering a mysterious
power somehow connected to the great Sphinx.
Could this be the biggest discovery in archaeological history -- or just someone’s plan to hurt and destroy another society?
Rai Aren & Tavius E. write a spellbinding mix of mystery, history, fantasy, and adventure in this tale of two histories – one
told in the present, the other told from the past – telling a story of misused power, learning how to trust, and the fate of
civilization. The dialogue is believable and the plot is a page-turner.
