'Fetch!' The dog took off into the Egyptian desert after Wilson Ryder's swiftly disappearing arrow. Ahead of the young Egyptologist and his hound, beyond the flight of the arrow, lay a pre-dynastic realm of myth:  the mysterious Mistress of the Bow and Ruler of Arrows, the evil Lord Seth, legions of animal-headed creatures, the venerable bird man, the child Horus. And key to it all was the magical amulets of power. A life and death quest was on the boundaries of existence.  And the universe watched - and waited. Cover art by Michael Mucci
