Sam Steele's Adventures - Treasure of Karnak

Egypt - that mysterious land of ancient kings and pyramids - and fabulous treasure - gold, pearls, precious gems - all buried beneath the eternal sands of ancient Egypt. Men will do anything to get their hands on such riches. They'll steal, lie, betray, and even murder. Come with Sam Steele and friends on a thrilling and dangerous quest to find an ancient Egyptian treasure of unimagined wealth. Struggling against all odds-pits filled with scorpions, traitorous allies, murdering desert tribes, mad camels, even the Egyptian government - the crew of the good ship Seagull finds what scores of searchers have failed to locate for more than two thousand years, the hiding place of the legendary treasure of Karnak. But will the treasure still be there when they reach the hiding place? And how can they stop anyone else from discovering the secret?Available again for the first time in a hundred years, we are pleased to announce our much-anticipated new edition of L.
