Synopsis: Alyssa signed up to study history, not to rewrite it.
An excavation of the fabled Hall of Records beneath the Sphinx unleashes an ancient disease that leaves her father fighting for his life. As Alyssa races to find a cure, she stumbles onto an impossible artifact that could change history—or destroy our future.
With unexpected help from Oxford student Paul Matthews, Alyssa evades ruthless adversaries set on harnessing the power of the artifact. As a global epidemic looms, they must unravel deep secrets hidden within it and unveil the link between a mythical civilization and the birth of Egyptian mythology, before time runs out.
Compulsively readable, M. Sasinowski’s electrifying debut thriller, Heir of Ra, is filled with action, technology, humor, and a generous dose of “what if” that just might have you question your history books.
About the Author: written from the point-of-view of his 15-year old daughter (that's me! :)
Some say that M. Sasinowski writes until 4 am… fueled by a single cup of decaf coffee. Others say this Polish-born American hyper-nerd absorbs energy from late-night TV space shows. No matter the truth… he’s my dad. He will never be cool.
He loves archaeology, Star Wars/Trek, martial arts (especially women who kick butt), and impromptu father/daughter (that’s me! :) science debates or music jam-sessions. He’s kind of smart, I suppose (he has a physics PhD, and an MD, or whatever) and likes to build computers for fun.
His teenage daughter (that’s me! :) is occasionally a handful to deal with and also served as the inspiration for the main character in his debut young adult novel Heir of Ra.
You may recognize him from his glorious hair or his tendency to do the “vacuum cleaner” dance to embarrass his daughter (that’s me… :(.
If you ever see this man, approach with care and greet him in a language he understands, like in Klingon or, better yet, in Wookie.
Guurrghghgh!

This one has everything that I love Egyptian, fantasy and really did my fill for my love of all things releating to my favorite movies Indiana Jones, Tomb Rider and my husbands all time favorite National Treasure. If you are a fan of any of those you will die hard love this one!!
This young adult book has one thing that a lot of them do not have. And that is a parent that is actually there. I was so surpised that Kade, Alyssa's dad was actually in the story. Their relationship is one of the best that I have read this year. I also really liked that although there is some romance in this its really light and just begining. So many ya authors try to just toss it in our face and this story doesn't do that. I do hope we get more by book two but if you don't like it when a love interest takes over the story then you will totally love this one.
In the end this one with the use of Egyptian mythology was one epic ride that I so want book two now!! I could not put it down and I really want a print copy of this one and well maybe a poster of that book cover becuase LOOK AT IT!!!
Go Into This One Knowing: Fantasy, Family Bonds, Romance (light)
