Review : If you are like me and have been fascinated with ancient Egyptian mythology since you were a kid then give this book a shot . It was an awesome read and well worth your time . It has plenty of action with an element of mystery and at times has a dream-like quality . The book does a pretty damn good job of hitting all the marks .
“Can life be counted upon to limit itself ? No . It is the mindless striving of two to become infinity . Can death be counted upon to limit itself ? Never . It is the equally mindless effort of zero to encompass infinity .”
