English Cinebook Edition = 2007
My favorite of the Cinebook lot in casting and staging- I enjoy ThetiCheri and Imhotep more than any #2s I can think of.
It's intrigueing in a wonderfully sketched and well-studied world

A charming adventure in ancient Egypt.
The heroes — a peasant named Payrus with a magic sword and a princess called Theti-Cheri — set out to visit the temple of Abu-Simbel. But danger and ill omen haunt their travels, from a prophetic dream, to storms and apparitions, to mysterious, shadowy figures. It’s not until the midpoint that the truth is revealed — a plot of bandits to steal the temple’s treasure. It’s up to the heroes to thwart them, with the aid of the gods of Egypt.
The story is not without problems — the text is often heavy, with too much exposition. The heroes don’t actually do much, instead relying on deus ex machina. But the historical detail and atmosphere bring the story to life. The climax of thundering colossal statues is a sight to behold and quite memorable.
The art is uneven and not up to the standards of the best of the genre, but the princess has a nice design and the art has a lively, warm quality to it. So on the whole it’s an entertaining little mystery.
