Under the direction of famed explorer
Porter Stone, an archaeological team is secretly attempting to locate the tomb
of an ancient pharaoh who was unlike any other in history. Stone believes he has
found the burial chamber of King Narmer, the near mythical god- king who united
upper and lower Egypt in 3200 B.C., and the archaeologist has reason to believe
that the greatest prize of all—Narmer’s crown—might be buried with him. No
crown of an Egyptian king has ever been discovered, and Narmer’s is the elusive
“double” crown of the two Egypts, supposedly possessed of awesome powers.
The dig itself is located in one of the
most forbidding places on earth—the Sudd, a nearly impassable swamp in northern Sudan. Amid the
nightmarish, disorienting tangle of mud and dead vegetation, a series of
harrowing and inexplicable occurrences are causing people on the expedition to
fear a centuries- old curse. With a monumental discovery in reach, Professor
Jeremy Logan is brought onto the project to investigate. What he finds will
raise new questions . . . and alarm.
