Aten is getting desperate. He is rapidly running out of fuel and his hopes of joining his Uncle Lucie and conquering the Universe are beginning to evaporate. Arousing the suspicions of the mighty High Priest Neferhotep has only made his task of getting into the treasure vaults of the Temple of Karnak even more difficult. It doesn’t help that his travelling companions, the irrepressible teenager Luke, the timid half man/half dog Druitt, the volatile Galasian Tuy and the cheeky computer Zoom keep letting him down. Or that his secret project, the royal prince that likes to call himself Akhenaten, is not proving to be as easy to control as he had once thought.
So he comes up with a plan to place Luke and his faithful friend Neferptah into the Kap, a training school for Egypt’s young royal princes and nobility, in the hope that the boys will come across information that will help Aten find a way into the temple vaults and get him the gold he needs. But will this plan work after all his others have failed? Or will relying on two teenage boys and a young princess to get him where he needs to be just lead to further complications?
Suitable for young adults and fantasy readers of all ages ‘Hall of the Golden Crocodiles’ is the second book of the Aten Sequence that sees Aten finally find his way into the vaults of Karnak Temple. But although he now so close to his goal, events rapidly spiral out of control placing his travelling companions and the young Egyptians in terrible danger. And just when he thinks that things cannot get any worse, he is confronted with someone from his past. Someone who is possibly the last person in the Universe that Aten wanted, or even expected, to have to deal with. So will Aten be able to get his gold, make his fuel and blast off to join his Uncle Lucie? Follow his adventures in ‘Hall of the Golden Crocodiles’ and find out what the fates have in store for our hapless hero, his ill-assorted space crew and the young royal Egyptians that he has drawn into his web.
Hall of the Golden Crocodiles The Aten Sequence 2 eBook Cynthia Marsh
It’s one thing to run out of fuel on a country road, miles from anywhere. It’s quite another when that country road is on an insignificant planet, in an ancient time, on the other side of the galaxy. Not only is there no fuel, no one even knows what “fuel” is–even if you were to ask them.Aten and his band of space travelers, which includes dog-faced Druitt, Galasian cocktail waitress Tuy, and 21st -century Earth boy Luke, find themselves in this situation. Looking for a remedy to their fuel problem, they befriend Egyptian royalty, waiting for a chance to learn their magical secrets.
And they finally get that chance, when a plan goes very wrong. Surprisingly enough, it’s the errors they make that bring them success.
Although they didn’t really need a tomb robber turning into a tiny-brained Galasian. (His fault–he shouldn’t have made Tuy angry…)
The plan was for Luke and his friend Neferptah to plant a tracking device on the princess, Merytamen, and then let Aten do what he had to do. But that turned into a fiasco, which saw the boys, Aten and the crew, Merytamen’s brothers and their friends, and a group of terrified tomb robbers under the claw of aforementioned Galasian newbie, all converging on the Temple of Karnak. There is danger everywhere under the temple, and they all find themselves running from a host of problems–mostly each other.
And, of course, from the now-living golden crocodiles.
Words to live by: if you see a jewel-encrusted gold crocodile–do not take his treasures. Ever. Tuy is easier to deal with.
This is the second book in the series, and even though I didn’t read the first one, it was still very enjoyable. Of course, there were references in the story to the first book (“Pharoah’s Gold”), but they didn’t detract from the story line here. In fact, they gave the story a little extra flavor–the references were built in smoothly throughout the book, and gave “Crocodiles” a dimension that it otherwise would not have had.
There are a lot of characters in this book, and Ms. Marsh has done an exceedingly good job of giving each one a personality and a life all his or her own. The egocentric Aten, sarcastic Tuy, unhappy Druitt, and happy-go-lucky, fun’s-where-you-find-it Luke are just the tip of the iceberg–or should I say pyramid.
Add in a talking cat or two, and you have one fantastic adventure!
