Publisher Description
Ancient Egypt
The Kinley built a ship capable of traveling faster than light, and it carried a group of scientists to a small, distant planet—Earth. When their ship was destroyed, they were stranded. They buried remnants of their technology deep beneath the desert and sent a last message home….
Modern Day
Kinley hovers on the brink of extinction. An enemy that nearly obliterated their race has risen again—with the ability to destroy them for good.
A lone soldier named Pruit is sent on a desperate mission: follow the ancient beacon back to Earth and recover the secrets to faster-than-light travel. Technology that once allowed them to cross vast reaches of space might allow them to outrun their enemies and find a safe world to call their own.
Pruit’s quest draws enemies after her and awakens ancient foes on Earth. At every turn she finds adversaries willing to risk everything to stop her, each one hoping to steal the knowledge for themselves. The rivals meet in modern-day Egypt and their struggle alters the fate of worlds.

"I enjoyed this book, it grabbed my attention from the first page. This book had everything I love: ancient Egyptians, aliens, and action. The book does not go overboard with the science fiction element. The book successfully blends what I consider multiple genres into an excellent story."

" Sci-fi first half was good "
— Sue, 2/9/2014 -
" Fun book. She combines the mystery of the pyramids with an alien twist. A little annoying with some of the underlying, and unnecessary, philosophy that seems to find it's way into the story. Ignore it And you have an imaginative tale. "
— Aaron, 2/2/2014 -
" It's not bad but not a real page turner. "
— Bruce, 1/22/2014 -
" I enjoyed this, the originality was a nice change. Fun science fiction read with enough action it to keep that part of me interested. It also had a great tie into spiritual aspects and a love story. Well thought out and looks like good research. "
— Andromeda, 1/21/2014 -
" I'm still adjusting to my Kindle. It had a good premise and some interesting alien tech..but I did not really get that involved with the characters, not sure if that was me or the book. "
— Caron, 1/20/2014 -
" The story got better as things went along. It was good, but not great, although there were some very good ideas integrated into the story. "
— Philip, 1/19/2014 -
" Wow!!! This was one of the best books I've read in awhile... It has just about everything needed in a great story- I would really like to see this story continued... "
— Tree, 1/18/2014 -
" A decent enough sci-fi book that I bought purely because Amazon emailed me saying it was available for cheap. I enjoyed it which is the main thing. "
— Rob, 1/16/2014 -
" I enjoyed this book as much as most others. The story telling was done well and kept me interested throughout. In the end I was most struck by my own interest in our possibilities in the universe. It is great to not know. The stars are many and we circle just one. "
— Steve, 1/11/2014 -
" This book has a great flow to it. I thoroughly enjoyed Dayton's theory of past lives and how the Egyptian pyramids were constructed from an alien survey team. I actually sort of believe her theories might be more fact than fiction. Great Sci-Fi!! "
— Jamie, 12/29/2013 -
" Nice well plotted science fiction wedded to an alternative history tale. It is a tale of racism overcome, peace discovered, family disfunction, grudges and revenge. The author writes with a decidedly romantic woman's touch, which in this story is occasionally jarring. "
— Paul, 12/21/2013 -
" Wow, what a great sci fi book. "
— Jed, 11/11/2013 -
" Started out strong enough, but by the end it really started to drag. Glad that I finally finished. "
— Aly, 10/30/2013 -
" A fun concept, an interesting problem, intriguing characters ... but also a lack of character understanding of their own specialities and some very, very wobbly writing. An editor would have been useful here. "
— Tina, 6/20/2013 -
" 2nd half better than 1st. "
— Mampersat, 3/26/2013 -
" This ended up being pretty good, but it was almost like reading 3 books at the same time. It felt a bit disjointed and kind of silly in some ways, but I liked how it turned out and it kept me engaged after I got into it a ways. "
— Matt, 11/4/2012 -
" Wouldn't be the first book I'd recommend for someone, but it was alright. Hard to get into, though. "
— David, 10/23/2012 -
" A typical Sci-Fi junkie book. I liked it. "
— Brook, 10/15/2012 -
" This book combines sci-fi with a bit of ancient egyptian culture, and does both pretty well. Some plot points seem a bit rushed, and some of the exposition is a little heavy-handed, but overall it was an enjoyable read. "
— Allison, 10/5/2012 -
" Interesting story line, fun read. "
— Sandy, 9/7/2012 -
" 3.5*, but I'm not willing to round up. "
— Stanley, 8/4/2012 -
" Great book up until the end. Was a good ending but not completely satisfying. "
