Thank you, Lamilla, for this wonderful surprise!!! The book arrived safely with me today. I'm very happy with some new reading material in Russian (apart from the classics that need a re-read....)

Thank you very much for thinking of me!!

Аннотация:
"Убит знаменитый египтолог, недавно обнаруживший в древней гробнице супруги фараона Мамоса VIII свитки пергамента, хранящие сведения о последнем приюте владыки Египта. Вдове убитою ясно — гибель мужа связана с последним, седьмым, свитком, и ей придется раскрыть эту тайну, чтобы не оказаться следующей жертвой безжалостного убийцы. В отчаянии она обращается за помощью к богатому английскому археологу-любителю и авантюристу Николасу Куэнтон-Харперу. Охота за сокровищами фараона-изгнанника начинается!"

Мои впечатления после чтения голландского текста:

"Apparently I picked the wrong book of the two to begin with. From what I read it would have been more logically to start with the story of Taita and read that, instead of doing it the other way around. Although I think it has is charm to know as much as the archaeologists that do the work.

I liked the book a lot. Why did I give it 4 stars then, not 5? Well, most of all because of the ending. I'm quite sensitive when it comes to endings of books.
In this case, there's an archaeologist, Royan, and an Englishman/ owner of an estate / museum with Egyptian artifacts, Nicholas. They like each other, but Royan has just lost her husband and Nicholas is also a widower. What keeps them together, is the search for a hidden tomb of Mamose. While decrypting the texts with clues, Ryoan's husband gets killed and she nearly escapes death herself.
The ones behind the attack keep following her and later her and Nicholas, when they go to Africa and continue the search and look if they find the place that Taita described.

When the books nears the end, Nicholas suspects that Royan isn't completely honest with him. Despite the fact that they like each other a lot, they haven't yet become a couple and after they escape from the archaeological site, they split up and part seemingly forever disputing about the artifacts.

When the book then ends with them being together, an 'all's well that ends well' ending, I'm very disappointed. Of course I like it when people are happy, when a book ends well, but to create a happy ending like this, so very constructed, not that really disappoints me."

Спасибо, Ламилла, что послала мне эту книгу. К сожаению я недавно прочитала ту же книгу, только на голландском.
Не собиралась читать русское издание скоро.

Через месяц в Голландии будет "OHM" https://ohm2013.org/site/ , куда и Русские приедут. Вместо того, чтобы ждать пока кто-нибудь просит это книгу, я ее передам Moem, которая освободит книгу во временной ОЗБ в "OHM".

Надеюсь она найдет много новых друзей-читателей!

В Кастрикуме я передам книгу Moem, которая освободит ее во временной ОЗБ в "OHM".

This book is being released at OHM2013, most likely locations are the Lounge, the Mediacafe or the Infodesk.

In een van de Boekwissels. Misschien boven, misschien beneden.

Veel plezier ermee, lezer! Goede reis, boek!
