Review Summary
CPR in ancient Egypt? Alexandria Stone is a physician with all the techniques of modern medicine at her disposal, but when an x-ray of a mummy found at her father's archological dig reveals a procedure that hadn't been developed four thousand years ago, her excitement overcomes her scientist's logic. Determined to prove her theory, she visits her father's dig. In the hidden room of a pharaoh's tomb, her father discovers an ancient scroll lying near a statue of the goddess, Isis. When Alex attempts to sing the song written on it, she is transported back in time--and right into the arms of Tarik, chief physician to Pharoah Mentuhotep. A world of implausible sights and unimaginable pleasures awaits your journey to unravel the magical secrets of the Song of Isis.
