Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
Two time-travellers from the 27th century go missing in ancient Egypt. Edward Davis, a promising rookie in the Time Service, is sent back in time to find them . . . back much farther than he has ever been before. Reeling from the time jump, he arrives in Thebes, only to discover that his training for survival is no protection against the intoxicating magic of Egypt . . .
Pyramids and obelisks, snakes with legs, winking sphinxes, birds with the heads of women, women with the heads of birds, forests of fat stone columns, lapis lazuli and gold, plump Pharaoh on his throne beneath the pulverizing sun.
Davis has thirty days in which to get a grip on his senses and find the missing time-travellers. Instead, he is taken in by a temple priestess, befriended by a beautiful slave girl, and tricked into crossing the Nile to the City of the Dead. As the hour of his scheduled rendezvous with the time field approaches, Edward Davis is brought face-to-face with the shattering truth behind the fate of his former colleagues, and the prospect of sharing that fate.
