When Jack takes a job in Purnam, on the other side of the world, Thira is determined to follow him. So she and her unsuspecting husband, along with a group of friends, embark on a long voyage east, heading across the Mediterranean to Egypt, then sailing down the Red Sea and along the African coast to Purnam. While cruising along the Nile, the Colquhouns encounter a French archaeologist who invites them to visit a recently excavated tomb. It contains the remains of King Amenhotep's favourite, a priestess who was suffocated to death by a group of priests. And one of the Colquhoun party does exactly what you should never do when you visit the final resting place of a murdered Egyptian... she removes an ancient cylinder from the tomb as a keepsake... with inevitably disastrous results. Devereux Pryce was the pseudonym of Sir Gerard Albert Muntz; Out of the Ages was his only published work of fiction. This new edition includes a biographical essay by Gina R. Collia: 'Gerard Albert Muntz: The Renowned Metallurgist Who Had Never Been to Egypt'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Devereux Pryce, Gina R.
