Percy Jackson fought Greek Gods. Now the Gods of Egypt are waking in the modern world...

'I GUESS IT STARTED THE NIGHT OUR DAD BLEW UP THE BRITISH MUSEUM . . .'

CARTER AND SADIE KANE'S dad is a brilliant Egyptologist with a secret plan that goes horribly wrong. An explosion shatters the ancient Rosetta stone and unleashes Set, the evil god of chaos . . .

Set imprisons Dr Kane in a golden coffin and Carter and Sadie must run for their lives. To save their dad, they embark on a terrifying quest from Cairo to Paris to the American South-west and discover the truth about their family's connection to the House of Life: an Egyptian temple of magic that has existed for thousands of years.

The pharaohs of ancient Egypt are far from dead and buried. And neither, unfortunately, are their gods . . .

This was great!

It felt like reading Rick’s version of Harry Potter at the start, but became such bigger states towatds the end and felt more like the Percy Jackson books. Can’tvwait to listen to book two. Great narration, espically from Jane Collingwood.

good

It's perfect,but you might want to listen to it again, because the book can be hard to understand.

Yassss

The book was great love the characters and I love the fact that there are 2 narrators within was very smart. One of my problems is that Saidie is kind of a "Merry Sue" and I wish the author balanced her character a bit.

Great

Love the story and the narration is great. If you love Egypt related anything, you can miss this series.
