• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Pharaoh's Cat, a tragicomic fantasy narrated in the present tense by the cat himself, tells of a free-spirited, wisecracking stray in ancient Egypt who suddenly acquires human powers and immediately captivates the young Pharaoh, making him laugh for the first time since his parents' death.

The cat becomes the Pharaoh's constant companion and, at the royal palace and on a tour of Egypt, participates in the festivities, developing an insatiable appetite for good food, wine, and gossip. Gradually, he renews the Pharaoh's ability to enjoy life and inspires him to become a stronger leader. The bond of selfless love they share will change Egypt's destiny.

The cat has a good friend in the High Priest of the god Amun-Ra and seeks his help in solving the mystery of his human powers and the supernatural manifestations that plague him. He has a mortal enemy in the Vizierthe second most powerful man in Egypt--who hates him for his close relationship with the Pharaoh. The Vizier's persecution of the cat ultimately results in his fleeing with the High Priest to present-day New York City, where they find an ally in an Egyptologist's daughter.

In New York, they go to an ancient Egyptian exhibit, end up in Central Park, then at a cathedral, and later retrieve a lost spell to revive the dead. They return to Egypt to revive the Pharaoh, but the spell fails to work till Bastet appears to ask the cat to give his life in return for the Pharaoh's. He says yes, but Bastet only needed him to agree for the spell to work. The Pharaoh is resurrected, kills the Vizier in battle, then returns to the world above after making the High Priest pharaoh in his place.

The High Priest reigns for seven years with the cat at his side. A rebellion forces them to return to New York City, where they find Elena pregnant with the High Priest's child. For her, only months have passed. The cat immediately senses that the child she carries is the Pharaoh reincarnated.
