Pharaoh's Gold — Thomas Krug
A band of mercenaries fight deadly enemies and solve ancient riddles to plunder the tomb of Egypt's robber pharaoh in this break-neck historical adventure-thriller.
701 BCE. Assyria lays siege to Jerusalem, last stronghold of the Judeans.
In an audacious raid, a band of Kushite mercenaries -- the Desert Mice -- help force the Assyrians back from the gates of Jerusalem. But when a greedy general cheats them of their payment, the mercenaries must turn to plundering the dead: a fabled tyrant and his long-lost tomb.
In crossing an ancient pharaoh, the mercenaries will befoul themselves in an Egyptian power struggle and draw the gaze of a wrathful foreign king. Pursued by scheming nobles and a malevolent torturer, the Desert Mice set sail down the Nile -- toward the Valley of the Kings.
