“…the benefit of its being a novel actually means that some parts of the story can actually be told far better than in a simple list of known facts. I especially liked the wonderful description of Tutankhamun’s funeral with the tomb being filled slowly with all the treasures we know so well today.”
“It must be remembered that this is not a biography of Howard Carter but a story; however there is much to gain from understanding him as an individual and when you can picture him speaking and behaving as laid down in the story it becomes clear that the author has succeeded in creating a character worthy of the original.”
“…you will find a compelling read that should stir the imagination.”
“Fact, fiction and fantasy are spun together by the pen of this master storyteller and Marfleet’s in depth knowledge belies the unimaginative title.”
“… Marfleet has certainly done his research – his accounting of events is as accurate as possible and is based on scrupulous research from more than 50 books written by scholars …”
“… Overall, the book is an entertaining way to learn more about this momentous historical event.”
