Here’s the set-up:
Buried in a hidden chamber beneath the great Sphinx of Giza, lies the most potent secret in history. Older than the pyramids, older than Atlantis, it has the power to change the world. Powerful men will do anything to posses it. There is just one thing standing in their way – the living Sphinx itself.
From The Author
Scarab is a fast-paced entertaining read on a fascinating subject – quantum mechanics, with a dash of fanciful archeological intrigue, suspense, and some graphic content. The story traces the devastating effect of a secret code, found in a hidden chamber beneath the Sphinx of Giza, on the world’s first quantum computer chip – a chip, which exhibits a remarkable side effect: human-like consciousness.
I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of playfully mixing genres to sprinkle a sense of freshness and excitement in the stories we tell, and this has certainly been my intention here. Although I wrote Scarab some time back, and recently updated it for publication on kindle, the notion of multiple universes it draws on is very current. I find the subject endlessly intriguing and intend to revisit it in the future. Thank you for your support of independent writing.
One Reviewer Notes
“From the first page, I was absolutely hooked. I love Egyptian history and intrigue so this book was a perfect fit. In addition, I found the sensual scenes a nice ‘extra.’ Realism is important in a story. This novel gets two thumbs up!” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars
About The Author
Let’s see: I was born in Alexandria Egypt, grew up in Greece, lived and studied in South Africa and in London, taught screenwriting and digital media in Australia, have just completed a PhD in narrative studies, and have recently found creative freedom through publishing on amazon.com. I like stories of all sorts, but I especially love science fiction, horror, and thrillers or any mixture thereof. I’m also looking forward to being the first octogenarian on board that manned mission to Mars. As long as I can upload my next novel to Kindle from up there, that is.
