How It Begins
You wake in the army cot in your tent, feeling tired. You have not located the pyramid yet. Your workmen have given up and gone home after weeks of hardship. Your camp is quiet enough to hear a plane flying overhead. At the foot of the folding bed is a big, heavy trunk. You are carrying nothing.
