Praise for this book
5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Action and Intrigue
The Secrets of Egypt by Roger D. Grubbs is an action packed adventure story that is full of intrigue and mystery.I love stories about Egypt and this book did not let me down. From page one till the end of the book it kept my interest and wanting more. I liked the way the author developed his story and kept it very real and believable. The book is full of plot twist but was easy to follow.
I enjoyed Roger D. Grubbs' characters. They were easy to identify and believe in. I did feel their dialogue was a little stiff but this did not distract from a great story.
I enjoyed reading The Secrets of Egypt by Roger D. Grubbs and I recommend it to all readers.

I love all the mysteriousness in this one! Lots of fun. The name Clarence is a funny name! Falling down the hole and the moving staircase was good!!!

Thank you, Roger! My sister Emily and I have a lot of fun reading all of your books!!!
A moving story of love and adventure
King Solomon's treasures have always been a source of intrigue and have caught the attention of Dr. Rogers' former students who have graduated and are archeologists in their own right. They make a decision to take on this search alone, yet the pyramids are filled with booby traps. Soon several of the young ladies find themselves in deep trouble. They become trapped inside the massive pyramid with no way out. Only Dr. Rogers would be able to rescue them, but even he finds the task to be impossible. His only choice is to seek the help of ancient rulers. Just how he does that proves to be an intriguing mystery that can only be understood by reading the book. A mysterious character shows up, but you will never guess where he comes from. If you like adventure, action, and romance, you will love this one. I certainly did. I was thoroughly entertained and immediately began reading the next book of the series, Ancient Gold.
Fun adventure and a clean read!
I'm a sucker for Egyptian adventures and Roger Grubbs provided me a clean, fun read that I could recommend to my granddaughter. There is plenty of intrigue, mystery, close calls, and even some love. What more can you ask? If you like Indiana Jones, then this adventure will appeal to you. There are loads of pretty girls, but they hold their own against the bad guys. When you need a break from heavy, somber reading, this one will put a smile on your face. It's part of a series which is becoming a guilty pleasure. Well done.
