I picked this book up one morning at Gatwick airport while waiting for a flight to Spain. Though over 700 pages long, this paperback read quickly.

It's an entertaining story of love, archaeology, grave-robbing, and querilla warfare along the Nile. Full of strong virile men, beautiful & independent women, and action scenes straight out of a movie, this book will keep you dreaming of those lost days of adventure for many a night.
