newswriting at the University of Scranton, only to quickly realize the
futility of a career in the press, instead choosing to devote his
writing skills to novels. When not whittling away at manuscripts, he
can be found gluing together model tanks (but more often his

Klappentext

In this fresh twist on the historical adventure genre, a band of
misfit mercenaries trek across sandy desert to the Valley of the
Kings in search for the gold owed to them by Egypt's longdead
pharaohs.
In the year 701 BC, Assyria casts its eyes on the last stronghold of
the upstart Hebrews: the Kingdom of Judah. The Desert Mice, a
band of Kushite mercenaries led by the famous warrior Pisaqar,
turn away the foreboding Assyrian army from the gates of
Jerusalem in an audacious raid. But the Desert Mice are betrayed:
the Egyptian general Taharqa denies them of their pay and
disrespects his old tutor. Incensed, the mercenaries plot to recoup
the debt owed to them by robbing a long-lost tomb of a forgotten
pharaoh.
