New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice • The remarkable story of the intrepid French archaeologist who led the international effort to save ancient Egyptian temples from the floodwaters of the Aswan Dam, by the New York Times bestselling author of Madame Fourcade’s Secret War “A female version of the Indiana Jones story . . . [Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt] was a daredevil whose real-life antics put Hollywood fiction to shame.”—The Guardian In the 1960s, the world’s attention was focused on a nail-biting race against time: the international campaign to save a dozen ancient Egyptian temples from drowning in the floodwaters of the gigantic new Aswan High Dam. But the coverage of this unprecedented rescue effort completely overlooked the daring French archaeologist who made it all happen. Without the intervention of Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt, the temples—including the Temple of Dendur, now at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art—would currently be at the bottom of a vast reservoir. It was an unimaginably complex project that required the fragile sandstone temples to be dismantled and rebuilt on higher ground. Willful and determined, Desroches-Noblecourt refused to be cowed by anyone or anything. As a member of the French Resistance in World War II she survived imprisonment by the Nazis; in her fight to save the temples she defied two of the most daunting leaders of the postwar world, Egypt’s President Abdel Nasser and France’s President Charles de Gaulle. As she told one reporter, “You don’t get anywhere without a fight, you know.” Desroches-Noblecourt also received help from a surprising source. Jacqueline Kennedy, America’s new First Lady, persuaded her husband to help fund the rescue effort. After a century and a half of Western plunder of Egypt’s ancient monuments, Desroches-Noblecourt helped instead to preserve a crucial part of that cultural heritage.

Drawn to his abandoned temple on the banks of the Nile one evening by the notes of a half forgotten, sacred song, Sobek the Crocodile God is unable to resist Merys, the beautiful singer who innocently summons him. Appearing to her as a man and concealing his true identity, he’s captivated by this descendant of his last priestess. Treated by her family as a servant, denied a dowry and with no prospects for anything but a life of drudgery, Merys is happy to steal away to spend time with the handsome stranger. Their mutual attraction burns hot but Sobek is forbidden to pursue a human woman and can offer Merys nothing beyond a few hours snatched from his duties tending the Nile. Then Egypt’s enemies attack the peaceful village. Can the love between Merys and the Crocodile God survive the ultimate test of the gods?

The Killer Queen ‘Do not fight, little brother, you cannot win...the blue flowers will soon give you peace.’ 47 BC. Cleopatra, young and manipulative, is finally able to grasp the throne of Egypt, having seduced Roman general Julius Caesar. He is delighted when she falls pregnant, carrying his son Caesarion and declares her co-ruler with her young brother. Caesar’s victory in a battle against Cleopatra’s sister, Arsinoe, and her followers finally results in triumph. He returns to Rome leaving Cleopatra behind in Alexandria to scheme. Cleopatra’s murder of her co-ruler, Ptolemy, opens the door for her to rule alone on the Egyptian throne. She has already murdered other influential opponents and seeks to become Empress of Rome, accepting an invitation to visit Caesar in his villa. But Rome is not as she expects. It is a hotbed of turmoil and political intrigue and she is hated by the people. She creates enemies amongst Rome’s most influential senators and there is one, especially, who is more than a match for her. Caesar also has a Roman mistress, Servilia. Can Cleopatra overcome her established power and influence? And what of Marc Antony? Most of all, Cleopatra fears Arsinoe who has been exiled to the temple of Artemis at Ephesus.
