A book draws Atticus back to Egypt where he is very much not welcome, and into a confrontation with followers of crocodile god Sobek in a secret lair. The ease with which everything is accomplished is thinly disguised by a "close" fight at the end. Now why did I read this? ( )

The best part about reading a series well after it has been written is that you can start with the novellas and read everything in numerical order. There was a lot happening in this story, and it definitely made me look forward to reading the first book (Hounded). ( )

Iron Druid goes Egypt - entertaining quick read. ( )

A pleasant brief plunge into the Iron Druid series.

Atticus O'Sullivan runs an antique book store when he's not out battling gods from all different pantheons. On this occasion he is approached about an ancient Egyptian book which he thought was just a book with lamb recipes but, of course, turns out to be much more sinister.

Together with his trusty Irish Wolfhound, Oberon, he goes to Egypt after this mysterious customer snatches the book and runs off with it.

I listened to the audio version and was not enamored with the narrator, Luke Daniels. Luckily it was a novella and not a full length book. ( )

Prequels are like reading between the lines or hearing stories of "back in the day". Always fun to get a feel for the author and what he or she will serve up. ( )
