When Akhet-en is offered a chance at immortality he has no choice. Really, who could refuse such an offer? But when his part of the bargain takes him to present-day New York, he gets more than he’s bargained for. In a number of ways. When he meets Eloisa, retrieving an ancient set of papyri isn’t the only thing on his mind. And for her, a quick fling isn’t as simple as it initially seems.

The Man From HATHOR is an intriguing tale, well written and lively. I especially enjoyed experiencing the different locations. Everything was described so vividly I had no trouble recognizing ancient Egypt and the ceremony was also filled with many scintillating details. The characters in this story climbed steadily toward the only logical outcome for this tale. I felt myself hoping that Eloisa and Aki were successful in their adventure. The sex is hot, very hot, and that, too is well written. All in all, The Man From HATHOR is a very pleasurable reading experience, for many reasons, not the least of which is the way the author builds tension between Eloisa and Aki. The only bit I found a tad unsettling was the abrupt shift from ancient Egypt to modern New York City in the beginning of the story. It felt a little rushed, but in a story of this size I suppose it may be necessary to compact shifts like this one. And although for me it was a bit jarring, it didn’t detract at all from this very interesting, well written story.
