Secret of the Sands is a mystery novel about the Great Sphinx of Giza

SECRET OF THE SANDS is an Indiana Jones type adventure novel where the reader is treated to two adventures-in-one as it weaves back and forth between a royal family with a potentially deadly secret in ancient Egypt and the adventures of a couple of modern-day archaeologists on a mission to uncover an amazing artifact that could change the world!

A Prophecy was Told

An ancient prophecy, thousands of years old, told of the coming of the Chosen one, but she will be both loved and feared, and some will stop at nothing to defy everything she represents.

A Secret Long Buried

A secret power that once proved too deadly, was hidden away deep beneath the sands of Egypt, only to be revealed by its sworn guardians when the time came that the knowledge would be safe.

A Deadly Riddle is Unlocked

Two young archaeologists fatefully unearth unusual artifacts dating over 12,000 years old. The exhilarating find however, is wrong - very wrong. The artifacts shouldn't be there...they shouldn't even exist at all.

A Power Unleashed

Now after remaining dormant for 12,000 years, the secret has been uncovered, and its true purpose suspected. What will be the greatest discovery in human history will either change us forever or destroy us for trying...

SECRET OF THE SANDS
is a mystery novel that would make an INCREDIBLE summer BLOCKBUSTER on the big screen - it has adventure, action, humor, romance, ancient mysteries, deadly battles, and SPECTACULAR special effects possibilities!!! Our ancient Egypt book would make a great movie as it is a little bit like "Indiana Jones" meets "The Mummy" meet "National Treasure". It takes the fun & camaraderie of Indiana Jones, the quest to uncover some of the biggest secrets humanity has kept & pairs it with an incredible, yet scandalous ancient past. Our book's theme, vis a vis Egypt, Ancient Egypt and mysterious, powerful archaeological discoveries by people on the outside of the in-crowd, is a very popular one, and would have mass market appeal as an exciting, entertaining action/adventure movie. It demonstrates the struggle of those without power and includes lessons in the pursuit of power and the price of greed in a way that pulls no punches. This adventure novel was always envisioned as a movie. Its action scenes would be spectacular on the big screen and would be amongst the most memorable in film history. Since the story is suitable for kids & adults, it would be a perfect PG-13 summer blockbuster! IMAX 3D!!

Some of the great feedback for the adventure novel Secret of the Sands:

"Kept me burning the midnight oil and turning pages!"

We would be happy to collaborate on adapting this adventure novel for the big screen, and would be very interested in releasing a second edition mass-market paperback version of the novel as a companion to the movie version of the story.

The Great Sphinx of Giza is a statue of a reclining lion with a human head that stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile, near modern-day Cairo, in Egypt. It is the largest monolith statue in the world, standing 73.5 m (240 ft) long, 6 m (20 ft) wide, and 20 m (66 ft) high. It is the oldest known monumental sculpture, and is commonly believed to have been built by ancient Egyptians in the third millennium BCE.Dunford, Jane; Fletcher, Joann; French, Carole (ed.) (2007).
