After the events in Time Trials, the team is transported to a new mysterious location in the deep past. Surjan unintentionally shakes things in the civilization they find there.
Unfortunately the first part of this book left me decidedly lukewarm and disinterested, so I have up after about a quarter of the book. The characters don’t engage me as a reader, and unfortunately this particular LitRPG title falls flat.
Linguist and Egyptologist Marty Cohen has been pushed out of academia for spurious reasons and now runs a custom furniture store. An old colleague begs him to come to a new dig in Egypt where very curious writing has been found. At the dig, Marty and a few of the team are transported back to pre-dynastic Egypt. But things take an even stranger turn as mythical creatures turn out to exist, at least in this version of the past.
The novel is a serviceable and enjoyable Alternate History adventure, especially if you have some interest in Ancient Egypt history. It never becomes really epic, focusing instead on the dynamics of the small group of time travelers.
