Ms. Pratt’s highly entertaining tale presents Eno the Thracian, a combination of Hercules and Sherlock Holmes. As a self-proclaimed hero, he advertises his extraordinary services on a shingle above a tavern. Although Eno’s services are rendered with all seriousness, his observations about others and himself are rendered with wry humor.In The Stone Gods, Eno's visit to his mother in the Thracian mountains is pre-empted by an Egyptian beauty who is pursuing a prophecy. One encounter with villains leads to another, and Eno is enticed to accompany his companion back to Egypt in the employ of the Pharoah. The Pharoah's long lineage of sons have be been mysteriously turned to stone, and it's up to Eno to figure the how and why. Ms. Pratt has crafted another action-packed page turner.
