In Ancient Egypt, a strong and lustful warrior had been summoned to serve the goddess Sekhmet-Hathor. In return, she grants him immortality. Her reasoning: he is strong, pure of heart, driven by lust; and he is destined to live in multiple time periods. In present-day New York City Aki is again summoned by Hathor to acquire a newly-discovered papyri of the Book of Sekhmet. This one has an unusual addition: a spell crafted by the god Set which will bind Aki for three days to whichever woman translates and reads the spell. Currently the papyri is in the hands of an expert translator of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, Dr. Eloisa Brown. If the spell is triggered, Aki must spend the three days he is bound granting the woman's greatest desire. If he does so, she can bind him to her forever; if he doesn't grant her wish, his soul will be condemned to wander forever, never being allowed to return to Osiris' halls where his friends await.

 

The Man from Hathor is an intriguing little mythological story with a modern-day twist. Kelly Maher cleverly presents the pantheon of deities as closer to human and less omnipotent and omniscient than we are usually led by mythology to expect of them. This premise would readily lend itself in future to further adventures, and I hope this will be the case.  I really enjoyed The Man from Hathor and recommend reading it!
