HOW ABOUT
ANOTHER
MYSTERY OF HISTORY BY GEOFFREY MCSKIMMING?
CAIRO JIM AND
THE ALABASTRON OF FORGOTTEN GODS
A Tale of Disposable
Despicableness
A seemingly
ordinary vase is stolen from the Greek Archaeological Museum by a
figure swathed in mystery. But the vase -- an ancient alabastron --
holds a secret: a potent force within it that must NOT be allowed to
escape!
It is up to Cairo Jim (that well-known
archaeologist and little-known poet) and Doris the brave macaw and
Brenda the Wonder Camel to track down the thief, before the
alabastron's mysterious contents are unleashed upon the modern world
...
'Quite possibly the most amazing tale yet
... my heart was racing from the adventure and my sides were aching
from so much laughter.' - Jocelyn
Osgood V.O.S.
'An over-the-top action-packed
adventure filled with crime, mystery, intrigue ... outrageous puns,
it is rollicking good fun.' -
Viewpoint
'A brilliant thriller ... will whet
the reader's appetite for more.' -
Southside Chronicle, ACT
'Mr McSkimming would be better to
sneeze into a handkerchief and have
that
published. I thought it wretched and banal. Arrr.' -
