Publisher's summary

Beneath the sands of the Egyptian desert lies treasure beyond imagining. And when a professor of archeology finds clues to the location of a Pharaoh's lost tomb in ancient hieroglyphs, he hatches a plan to find the burial site - and plunder it.

But can a five-man team of smugglers and thieves uncover what the centuries have hidden? And even if they find it, can they escape with it...and with their lives?

Archeological Adventure in 1960's Egypt

It is easy to see the flashes of Chrichton brilliance in these early stories. His research into history is remarkable, the characters are believable, and often funny, and the story is tight and loaded with enough suspense to keep the reader interested. Very well done and thoroughly enjoyable. Also Christopher Lane is one of the best narrators I've had the pleasure of listening to.

Good early Crichton novel

While the ending could have been better, you can start to see the mature Crichton here. The story was interesting and reasonably fast paced. The characters were generally believable. Overall this was an enjoyable listen.

Good Listen

This was my first Michael Crichton novel and didn't find it as adventurous as I'd hoped (not like the movie Jurassic Park based on his book). The beginning got off to a slow start for me. However, I loved the details about the Egyptian tomb and wound up engrossed in the story. I kept waiting for one of the characters to betray another and it never happened, which was a nice change of pace. The ending was pleasantly unexpected and I ended the novel with a smile. I enjoyed it enough to try another.

About what you’d expect

Entertaining and easy read, but not as thoughtful as later work. Good performance. Recommend if you’ve read the rest of his catalogue.

Wonderful Throwback!

Loved hearing this great story! Reminded me of being a kid in the sixties and loving stories of Egypt.

Fun story

Any additional comments?

I thought I'd try this early effort by Michael Crichton, writing as John Lange, and was pleasantly surprised by how it kept my interest. The characters are really fun and enjoyable. I loved the story of a group of misfits secretly excavating a undiscovered pharaoh's tomb in Egypt. The details were well done and believable. Of course, the real plus was the narrator, Christopher Lane, who always brings the characters to life. His portrayal of the wealthy, but kooky English benefactor sounded like Michael Caine which fit the character perfectly. Great twist at the end and a fun adventure throughout.

Very mediocre book.

Silly story and impossible ending. Disappointing because I usually enjoy this author's work.
Started well but the ending was forced.

there's no ending to the story, unbelievable!

I've listened to this 3 times, and cannot make any sense of the ending, nor does anyone in inline reviews of the book. I get the feeling Crichton just got digusted with thw work, and bailed out on the ending, or maybe just had to get on with a better book he was dreaming up. the performance captures the 1970's groovy swag very well, a pleasant listen lacking a conclusion.

A great short read!!

I am ashamed with myself for not having read Crichton’s earlier work. This was honestly a well done book and the narrator did one heck of a job. Made the characters easy to notice and more entertaining. Alan Conway in particular. Highly recommend this book.

Easy Go not what I was expecting

This was a good book but I only gave it three stars overall because it was not your usual Michael Crichton book. It was one of his earlier books and if you are looking for something along the lines of James Bond or Clive Cussler you will love it because that is the mark it hits. As I was looking for more sify than anything else it left me wanting more. I would definitely encourage everyone to read this book and the narrator is very very good just know it is not typical Crichton.
