Produktbeschreibung

My Cyrillic-English identification badge read:

VESNA BORISEVNA GREGORIEVA
TEMPORAL FIELD AGENT, NR. 3
RUSSIAN-AMERICAN ACADEMIES OF SCIENCE

That I was only the third such temporal field agent pleased me greatly, almost as much as I had succeeded my mentor Alexander Andreovich Piankoff.

I, with my American counterpart, was tasked with preserving our current reality. And to make a very long story short, I have been busy. First, as Maatkare in ancient Egypt, we executed a dangerously psychotic alien hybrid posing as a pharaoh. Then, as Lieutenant Valerie Gregg in Philadelphia, we failed to rescue four lost seamen in 1942. Finally, as Veer "the Bloody" in eighth century France, our team stopped an Iranian attempt to alter the course of Western European Civilization. Like I said, I have been busy.

But as anyone will tell you, they never forget their first unassisted ride on a bicycle, or for that matter, their first love. So it was for me, that first drop into the somewhen was, well, quite, quite memorable. After all, we were only sent to assassinate a minor pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty. What possibly could go wrong?

Autorenporträt

W.J. Cherf has always wanted to write a book without footnotes, to tell a fascinating tale that is so real that his avid readers are left puzzled over what was real and what was Memorex. To craft such a tale takes wit, a love of science fiction, and above all a deep reverence for ancient history and archaeology. All of these qualities are stitched together beautifully in his books, because Cherf has been there, dug that. He's even seen the sun rise from atop the Great Pyramid.
Reviews have been generous:
"Bow Tie: Two Thumbs Up"
"Imagine a dinner party thrown by Tom Clancy, where he sits EE "Doc" Smith next to HG Wells"
"Amazing story, fascinating detail, a fabulous read"
"Cherf has done a wonderful job combining facts from Egyptian history and a fictional story to create a compelling trilogy of intrigue and espionage"
"What an enjoyable experience reading this series!"
With a BA in Anthropology, MA in Egyptian Archaeology, and Ph.D. in Ancient History, Cherf remains current as an elected officer of Denver's Egyptian Studies Society and is a member of a national service organization called SERTOMA, SERvice TO MANkind, that is devoted to hearing disabilities. Living with his beloved wife Sue, they keep Foxbat 1 out in the garage. They enjoy golf, road racing (that's where Foxbat comes in), and cheering for the Cubs and Chicago Bears.
