(2017)(Book 11 in the Cairo Jim series)
A novel by Geoffrey McSkimming
In a dark, long-forgotten antechamber in the Temple of Hathor, an astonishing hieroglyphic discovery has been made!
What have the hieroglyphics got to do with the legendary Transilient Sceptre of Rameses? Is it true that this dust-smothered ancient sceptre could possibly have the astounding powers attributed to it? Will this power once again see the light of day in this modern age?
Cairo Jim, that well-known archaeologist and little-known poet, and his friends Doris the macaw and Brenda the Wonder Camel find out that all that glitters is NOT gold in this, the 11th startling mystery of history from Geoffrey McSkimming's vast cache of the relentlessly bizarre and whimsical!
"If Mr. McSkimming's tongue were more firmly embedded in his cheek he'd risk permanent speech impediment." -- Australian Book Review
"When you tire of stories about the places and people you know, try the witty word play and over-the-top adventure of Cairo Jim for an outrageous tonic." -- The Age
