It took all  of the will power I had to finish this book. I love time travel stories,the quest,the history.I've read 100s of this genre and this is by far the worst one of them all. Three Americans walk threw a doorway to the beginnings of Egypt.Tim Hope, who is in a deep depression,goes on a trip that he and his wife planed,Brian and his girlfriend Dianna,take the same trip out of boredom.Tim the geek,Brian the jock,Dianna the cheerleader.I had no use for Tim after he took Meryt, a young teenager for a lover.Mr.Dubs tries to couch this as acceptable because of the times.Which is correct.But what decent man with the values that Tim Hope, is portrayed to have, raised in this time, could ever find it acceptable to bed a 13 or 14 year old child.Brian is the only one of the three that I found interesting.Dianna was a selfish, uninteresting version of the american female that makes me sick to read about.A lot of history that was enjoyable,some of it was well wrote.But I could not for the life of me find anything that would make me want to lend this book to anyone.
