The Mummy
2 primary works
Book 1
An ancient legend
Imhotep, High Priest of Osiris, lusted after an Egyptian beauty whom no man but that Pharaoh was meant to touch. Punished for his blasphemy, Imhotep was mummified adn buried alive—cursed throughout all eternity.
A swashbuckling adventure
Rick O'Connell, dashing American and legionnaire, is in Egypt looking for a good time. His discovery of the lost City of the Dead is a fluke—but to British librarian Evelyn Carnahan it's the archaeological find of the century. The city contains all the treasures of Egypt and possibly the secrets of life and death. Leading Evelyn's expedition deep into the Sahara isn't exactly easy money, though, as Rick must dodge death traps, escape the jaws of man-eating beetles, and even duel a hook-handed mercenary. And just when he's caught his breath, a long-ago evil returns from the grave—with a taste for human flesh.

THE EVIL RETURNS
Hidden deep in the Egyptian desert, the mummified remains of Imhotep—accursed High Priest of Osiris—are uncovered once more by his loyal followers. Brought back to life, Imhotep sets out to find the legendary resting place of the very pharaoh—the Scorpion King—and unleash an unstoppable army of evil upon the earth…
THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES
Nine years after their adventure in the desert, daring ex-legionnaire Rick O'Connell and archaeologist Evelyn Carnahan are happily married, with their precocious son accompanying them on a dig in the desert. What they accidentally discover is the key to locating the Lost Oasis of Ahm Shere, where the undead army of Anubis awaits the order to destroy mankind, and the hideous Scorpion King awaits those who will challenge his power. Now, Rick and Evelyn find themselves in a deadly race against Imhotep and his sinister minions, with the fate of all humanity—and the life of their son—hanging in the balance…
