What Readers are saying:

"A hidden treasure by a young J.R. Rain! This is J.R. Rain when he was seventeen. I want to say that I was taken by surprise by this book, but nothing takes me by surprise when it comes to J.R. Rain! While it may not be as polished or as perfect as his books are now, it was a fantastic, well-thought-out adventure with plenty of twists and turns to keep a reader captivated as we read about a man and his nephew who set out to solve a baffling riddle and a recently discovered passageway underneath the Sphinx! At seventeen, J.R. Rain already had the makings of the great writer he has become! This book was geared towards young adults, but I think it will appeal to those of any age who have a sense of adventure and love a mystery! I really liked it, and I'm glad I read it!" -- Amazon review

I really liked the story of these intelligent characters, each of which I was able to imagine completely in my mind, and enjoyed their company for the entire story. What a fun read." -- Amazon review
