The saying “What goes around comes around” does so with a vengeance when a parade of characters from 2014 BC decide - much to the consternation of dashing archaeologist DOUGLAS “DIGGER” GOWDOWN – to reappear in 2014 AD. Along with his voluntary trio of not so little helpers, the outrageous MIZ M and MIZ K (“We are transvestites of taste; never tackiness!”) and their new best friend, the equally outrageous ATHENA BERMONDSEY-BUMPER, the dashing DIGGER has to brace up - and face up - to a challenge like never before.
It all begins with the evil Oracle EVILSUT, aided and abetted by the scheming ACROPOLET, deciding to rid Ancient Egypt of the petulant, plotting PRINCE TETATET and his ambitious uncle, the nasty and notorious HATCHETTET. Could it be their scheming and wrongdoings just happen to “reincarnate” themselves in the forms of modern Egypt’s smoothie, “KING” SOLOMON and his crooked cronies? Could this perhaps – Osiris forbid! – include the twenty two-timing SVETLANA in an AD role as SOLOMON’S SHEBA? And what about the narcissistic NAZARI, show-off surpremo who, when not astride a camel, rides around in a pink Rolls Royce convertible?
With characters such as the gigantic SAGHEER, KHABEER and the light-fingered (and footed) FREDDIE FOXTROT, the three intrepid ladies find themselves swept up in a (sand) storm of awesome proportions which even overshadows the discovery of four, towering, jewel-encrusted gold obelisks in the tomb that never was. These so-called “proportions” include a camel race unlike any other, a modern day airport muscle tussle matched only by an ancient felucca tussle and last, but not least, the ups and downs of the four chirruping love birds, the ancient KARTOOM and his eternal companion WANKET, along the athletic ASHAI and his lotus-like TAHIRAH.
As CLEOPATRA said with a g’asp, “Neverrile the Nile!”
