My Review:

An incredibly immersive and captivating science fiction novel! The fusion of Egyptian mythology with science and fantasy, alongside the intricate weaving of different timelines, adds layers of depth and intrigue to the storyline. Dr. Razi's ability to blend these elements seamlessly must have contributed to the mesmerizing experience for readers. Moreover, the inclusion of technical jargon explained in accessible language helps readers navigate the complex world and concepts presented in the story.

The idea of colonizing Mars rooted in ancient Egyptian lore is particularly fascinating, offering a unique twist to the familiar trope of space exploration. It's evident that a lot of research and effort went into crafting such a rich and detailed narrative. The characters' investigative prowess and their journey to decode mysteries further add to the allure of the plot.

Overall, It’s a compelling read that not only entertains but also leaves a lasting impression on readers, lingering in their minds long after they finish the book. 

Highly recommended.
