M. Sasinowski

Alyssa is a teenager assisting her archeologist father on a dig in the jungle of South America when he receives a call enabling him to begin a dig near Cairo that he has been anxious to start. So leaving her behind, much to her chagrin, he jets off and begins the new dig. But tragedy strikes. He and his team are struck by a viral agent for which modern medicine has no cure and cannot identify. The key lies in an artifact found in the tomb and in the tomb's hall of records which cannot be accessed without the artifact. But what about the virus? How can she recover the artifact and enter the hall? Adding to her problems are other groups who want the artifact and are willing to kill to get it. The characters are well developed and interesting, the plot is terrific, and Sasinowski has a great writing style and this all combine to make for a good read. The only problem? It's a series so now I have to get my hands on book 2.… (mere)

I love Egyptian history: the idea of curses, rituals and royalty makes a lush backdrop for a novel. Which is why I find it odd that we don't often get to explore this world in fiction. So I was excited to dive into this new series!

By the end of Chapter 2 I was pretty hooked into this story. This book literally hits the ground running and the plot keeps moving at a great pace. Honestly, there isn't a dull moment here thanks to the multiple POVs you get; helping to build a 360-degree view of everything that is happening plotwise. Yet I was never overwhelmed by following multiple characters. It just helped built up the tension and suspense of what will happen when everything inevitably crashes together.

The blend of science and mythology is great. You've got all the classic elements of Ancient Egypt mixed with advanced (yet easy to follow) modern day science and it's simply great.

If you mixed "The Mummy" with "National Treasure", I feel like that's what this book would be. It's got all the action and suspense those movies have coming together to thrill the reader from the start.… (mere)

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I don't usually follow this genre but decided to give it a chance. Heir of Ra was a compelling story and difficult to put down. There are plenty of twists and turns as well as action throughout. I did have trouble understanding who was a friend and who was fo and had to wait until the final chapter to see how it panned out. I was not disappointed.

A modern-day female Indiana Jones story mixed with sci-fi technology and ancient Egyptian mythology...a perfect blend. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Action and adventure type stories. Great job Mr. Sasinowski!… (mere)
