ultimate WMD

Summary: Ray Emerson does it again!
Review: Ray Emerson continues his fantastic story telling with the "ultimate WMD." In his new novel, beautiful Lylah, one tough woman, shows the guys how to battle against the evil creatures in the underworld. The story starts in Egypt, or rather under Egypt, when a NASA satellite indicates something really weird is going on under the Hawara pyramid in western Egypt. The CIA embeds some top notch agents, with a band of American archeologists working at Hawara, to investigate the source of the NASA signals. Of course, they soon get in way over their heads and are in for big trouble! What they accidentally discover is something that has been missing from the known Universe since the Big Bang. Einstein knew all about this, but dared not include it in his General Theory.

These brave explorers display all the ususal quirks and weaknesses found in real people, but under the thoughtful guidance of Lylah, they manage to get along. Lylah, of course, falls in love with Masood, an erotic, handsome Egyptian archeologist in the group. Lylah and Masood are soon joined by a most delightful and loving mythological pet, who by using ancient magical power, struggles to keep them both safe from the hideous devilish things that wait for them in the underworld.

With a background of modern Egyptian culture and a dose of ancient Egyptian history, the story never slows and reader keeps turning the pages muttering, "Oh my God! What's going to happen to them next!"
