An alarm tech is called out to investigate unexplained alarms occurring during the night in the Egyptian Gallery of the Royal Ontario Museum. Finding no fault with the system, he decides to stay the night to find the cause. During the night a mysterious woman appears claiming to be the Egyptian cat goddess Bastet. She explains she is the victim of a curse cast upon her by the evil snake god, Apep, and is trapped in the mummy of a cat. She pleads with the tech to carry the mummy back to Egypt and release her from the curse.

Against his better judgment, the tech decides to steal the mummy and smuggle it back into Egypt. Little did he know the trip entailed traveling back three thousand years in time to ancient Egypt where gods and goddesses walk among their people. The evil snake god learns of their arrival and gathers his allies to stop them. In the end, our hero, whose only adventures have been as an avatar in video games, must face the giant serpent god with nothing more than an iron dagger. Well actually, there’s more to the story than that.

This is a fantasy adventure in the style of Indiana Jones. I think you will find it an enjoyable read.
