Stoned, Too (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Our young protagonists from "Stoned" return for another Egyptian adventure, and yes, the Friends of the Stones are also along for the ride again. Readers of "Stoned" will recognize Rachel (Rock) Beane and Ned Peters as our twenty-something copy editors at Monolith Press on the Upper West Side of Manhattan...actually, readers of "Stoned" will recognize all of the characters, both stone and human in this sequel until "Stoned, Too" takes them somewhere dark: ancient Egyptian magic is afoot, as is the discovery of an ancient murder mystery: Tutenkhamun, the Boy King, did not meet an accidental death after all. He was murdered nearly thirty-four hundred years ago. Rock and Ned, who possess the unique and powerful skill of rock catalysts...meaning they can bring stones to life...are pulled into another adventure by the evil forces of the priests of Ptah. The Ptah priesthood still searches for the remains of the Heretic Pharaoh, Akhenaten. They are sworn to destroy his remains and to deface his tomb...including destroying any and all record of his having existed. This is how they will prevent him from existing in the Afterlife...or from ever returning to Earth. There is a basic flaw in their plan: Akhenaten lives. He has not returned from the Afterlife; he never died at all, but was preserved in a living stone sarcophagus until his revival in "Stoned." As Tutenkhamun's father, he is grief-stricken and outraged to learn of his son's final days...and is hell bent on discovering the murderers and extracting revenge. Join the team of young and old humans, and their friends, the living stones, as they confront the Ptah priesthood in this new fight, a fight not to the death, but rather for their lives.

Autorenporträt

Jude LaHaye enjoyed a career spanning twenty-five years before ever turning his hand to writing. He worked hard always putting in extra hours and effort as an Army and then a DoD Logistician, blaming his "day job" for his inability to become a writer.

And then he got his chance: he jumped on an opportunity for an early retirement from civil service.

It was hard. That first book took him almost two years, at the end of which he questioned his life-long ambition to become an author.

But it also broke something loose: after struggling over that first book, he now writes fluidly, finishing as many as three books in any given year.

LaHaye lives a solitary life, preferring his own company to that of others, living and creating predominately in his head and then putting many of those ideas down on paper to become the backbones of his novels.

He has a wife, Liz, who is as extroverted as he is introverted. She is his inspiration for some of his more outgoing and optimistic characters.

His four children are all as different from one another as they can be, providing yet more inspiration for good, bad - or simply weird.

LaHaye and his family live on an island in Washington State on the Puget Sound, where they enjoy fauna, flora, and majestic views of forests, mountains, and ocean.
