When the train is hijacked by murderous banditos in the Arizona desert, who steal the mummies and flee over the border, Rom with his benefactors rebellious daughter, an orphaned Chinese busboy, and a cold-blooded gunslinger must ride into Mexico to bring the malevolent mummies back.

152/150 This book is a lot of old fashion pulp style fun, reminds me of the Brandon Fraiser Mummy movies. There are mummies, vampires, ghouls, ancient curses, furious chases and narrow escapes, all told in a lighthearted way. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sand. For someone who has spent the better part of the last four decades digging, burrowing like scarab, day and night it seemed, into mountains of dry, golden trickling, windswept tombs, I have never gotten comfortable with the stuff.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
Day 256

Books in a series will be posted together.

BoldCityBooks I bought these both over a year ago but haven‘t read them. When I was laying out my 2021 Book List I included these both. I am determined to read them this year! 4y
