A pharaoh’s curse reaches out from the grave!

1932: A mysterious artifact hidden by a legendary archaeologist points the way to the tomb of Yineput, the Night Queen. But adventurer Brock Stone and his friends are not the only ones searching for the queen’s final resting place. Stone’s enemy, John Kane also seeks the lost tomb. But is he working for the Germans, the Illuminati, or himself?

From the night clubs of Cairo to Nile River gambling boats and lost temples in the desert, Stone must stop John Kane from unleashing the pharaoh’s curse on an unsuspecting world.

This is a fun series, with obvious homages to the original Doc Savage books set in the same time period. The story was fast-paced and breezy. This series differs from the Doc series in that it also incorporates magic along with advanced science. It also benefits from knowing what history would unfold for the 1930's and 1940's. Nazi Germany plays one of the big heavies in the books. This honestly works well here. Previously, the Illuminati were the chief bad guys and their intentions were somewhat vague. Fun bonus, an ancestor of on of the authors recurring characters in another series he writes, pops up when least expected.

All in all a fun read. Are there plot holes? yes, pretty massive ones. But you roll with it. I anxiously await the next volume.

An enjoyable pulp romp in the Brock Stone series
