THE SMITING TEXTS When ancient Egypt fights back. : Anson Hunter forbidden archaeology adventure #1
A clash of superpowers... ancient Egypt vs modern America.
First in an Egyptology adventure thriller series, followed by The Hathor Holocaust and The Ibis Apocalypse.
The murder of an Egyptologist rings alarm bells with the US Department of Homeland Security. Before he knows it they co-opt his son, controversial historian Anson Hunter, into an investigation that has stunning implications for US security.
Yet soon their search attracts the attention of radical Islamists as well as the Egyptian authorities. Dark suspicions surface, suspicions that Anson's father found evidence of a secret that will shake the foundations of every major world religion.
Soon, whichever way they turn, Anson and his team find themselves trapped in a labyrinth of intrigue and menace that becomes too hideously real.
Anson Hunter's special knowledge as an alternative Egyptologist, theorist and phenomenologist may be the key to stopping a catastrophe.
