Publisher Description
Five thousand years ago, the Kinley built a ship capable of traveling faster than light. It carried a group of scientists to a small, distant planet - a primitive place called Earth. Its mission was peaceful observation. But when the ship was destroyed, the Kinley crew found themselves stranded in ancient Egypt, participants in the pageant of life in the time of the Pharaohs. They buried remnants of their technology deep beneath the desert and sent a last desperate message home….
Five thousand years later, the Kinley homeworld hovers on the brink of extinction. An enemy that nearly obliterated their race has risen again - now with the ability to destroy them for good. A lone Kinley soldier named Pruit is sent on a desperate mission: to follow the ancient beacon back to Earth and recover the secrets to faster-than-light travel. It is their last hope. Technology that once allowed them to cross vast reaches of space might allow them to outrun their enemies and find a safe world to call their own. But Pruit’s mission will be harder than she can imagine. Her quest will draw her enemies after her and will awaken ancient foes on Earth. As she gets closer to what she seeks, she will find each adversary willing to risk everything to stop her, each hoping to steal the knowledge for themselves.The rivals will meet in modern-day Egypt and their struggle will alter the fate of worlds.

Resurrection
Written in a clear and easy-to-visualize style provides a whole cinematic experience in my mind. I listened to it on Audio book, and couldn’t wait to take a drive to hear the next few chapters and see what happens next. I found myself parked after arriving at destinations to hear more of the story before exiting my car.
Arwin is a great writer and I look forward to reading all of her books. I’m already well into her latest book, Stronger, Faster and More Beautiful.
I was enchanted by this story for several reasons:
It was historically pretty accurate and provided a highly imaginative and clever explanation for the enigma of the pyramids through a well-paced and very human story.
In a land where a culture had not yet even developed the wheel, to have built those structures could have a supernatural influence that also ties in the source of its mythology.
The characters and the story are driving forces and I loved them both, their diversity, realness of personality, and cuteness of emotional conditions.
The heroes are like friends we know thrown into powerful circumstances. They are lovable, fun and full of personality.
The villain, driven by greed and envy, with extraterrestrial weapons of enslavement, is a non-comical and believable evil.
Tying in religious zeal and god worship, opiate use married with power hunger, love triangles, and storybook romance has made for a delicious multi-course meal of a book.
