McRoots — Stephen Brown

Elliot and Geeza are thrown together once more in this second part of the trilogy, rushing up and down the length of Africa in a race against time to stop a monstrous entity from rising up to destroy the World! As ancient as the Earth itself, it has remained dormant for millennia, but is now shaking itself free... Together with a maverick scholar, an expert in archaic forms of writing, they discover that the fate of the World somehow revolves around the three Great Pyramids of Egypt which were actually built by... Scotsmen? Culminating in a final confrontation at an open air rock concert in front of the three main pyramids, Elliot and Geeza must also avoid being over-run by hairy black caterpillars, steer clear of pumpkin-headed mobs, learn to play Osiris' Bagpipes and try to stop the authorities from opening a tiny door set deep within an air shaft of the Great Pyramid itself! The Da Vinci Code meets Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, McRoots takes you on a wild and totally weird ride - can you hold on long enough to save the world?
