Imhotep leaps 5000 years in a beautifully told story. An old priest's mistake leaves a door between past and present. Three go through the door. The story of Imhotep is the story of those three, the lives they affect and the way they are affected as they move around 5000 years in the past, in ancient Egypt. There is tremendous detail, both in the people of the story and the culture, along with a beautiful portrait of the relationships that allowed the time travelers to survive. There is a moment of surprise and pleasure in a naming of one traveler that took the story a bit beyond the usual tale of time-travel. Ancient Egypt is drawn clearly and vividly. The story satisfies as adventure, as a glimpse into another culture, and as a believable time-traveling fantasy. There is also an element that speaks to the good in each of us that allows us to draw nearer to perfection without reducing our humanity. I liked this story tremendously and look forward to more from the author.
