The Jackal Queen
Out of Time. On the Run.
Isaac was none too pleased when his vacation was cut short by a call from his friend Raziel. His mood only grew worse when Raziel magically transported them back in time to ancient Egypt.
Now they have to find a way back home, hopefully without changing history. But the locals think they are deities, which has caught the attention of the temptress pharaoh—the Jackal Queen.

I honestly didn't think I would be so engaged in the story when I began it. There was always something that kept me turning the pages in this book. From the constant danger of altering time to the ever present fear of being discovered to the itimacy that should not be. Great dialogue and humor between characters that had me tense up in serious moments to humor that made me bust out laughing. Excellentnt description of setting and characters where it is not too detailed but detailed enough. My only critic is the book being too short since I wanted more on Isaac and Raziel's venture as gods and leaving on an open ended ending. This book was, I must admit, difficult to find but it can found on Furplanet OR Bad Dogs Books' website. Preferably, I brought the electronic version from Bad Dogs Books since it gives the opsional to download in Kindle, Ebook, Google Play Books, and more. I'd give this book a chance to read since it is pretty good!

I should preface this review by saying that both artist and author are known to me personally; however, I'll back up the five-star rating with the solid evidence that both are in their usual fine form.
The subtitle of the work is "An Erotic Historical Tale." What makes it rise above other erotic works (no puns intended) is that both the eroticism and the history are, shall we say, well rendered and equally appealing. If the only thing that interests you is the eroticism, you're likely to be a bit disappointed; our good Mr. Lisman knows his history and mythology well, and we get a perfectly healthy and appropriate dose of it in this work. Better still, the facts are woven quite nicely into a story of equal parts time travel adventure and bedroom farce that satisfy quite nicely on several levels. Lisman's Afterword notes that he began the tale as a series, and it's good to see that he maintains continuity, flow, and a nice sense of familiarity throughout, as though this is one of those famous tales told over brandy and cigars at some exclusive club, with the details becoming perhaps more enhanced over time, but never any less interesting and always worth a smile and another snifter.
Kadath is an artist of some repute in the world of anthorpomorphic (or "furry") art, and his work (here and elsewhere) ranges from sweetly prosaic to ... well, explicitly erotic. Please: You were warned in the subtitle! However, there is a difference between eroticism (or even explicit eroticism) and, for lack of a word, smut. Kadath knows how not to cross over that line. Even in the most graphic of the illustrations, there is a certain sense of playfulness and joy that allows an indulgence of the senses without a descent into mere pornography. This balance, in both the written and visual art of the book, is what makes this worthy of being kept openly on one's bookshelf rather than hidden in the sock drawer, as it were.
It is, indeed, a good read. To quote Stan Lee, 'nuff said.
