Talisman Ring of Amenhotep

“You take it!” the old man pleaded, using his free hand to press a small leather pouch into Julian’s palm. “You must take it!”
“I can’t” Julian said, trying unsuccessfully to remove the dry brown fingers from his own sweaty hand. “Sokran, but no thanks.”
“But you must,” insisted the vendor with a pathetic neediness in his voice … Is gift. Is great gift!”
Thus Julian Wingate came into possession of an ancient artifact that would change the course of his life: The Talisman Ring of Amenhotep.
As Julian, his lover Dinesh and Dinesh's daughter, Rachna, seek to unravel the mysteries of the Talisman Ring, they must keep one step ahead of The Directrix - a mercurial industrialist who claims that the ring is rightfully hers - and her wily associates Vivian Loving and Hiroshi Sato.
Joining forces with a centenarian archeologist with secrets of his own, Julian and his companions will travel from New York to Cairo and beyond to discover the truth of Talisman Ring.
