A boy from the depths of ancient Egyptian history is transported 4,328 years into the 21st century. Eleven-year-old Hotep lived in Memphis, Egypt's capital city during the country's Old Kingdom, over 4,000 years ago - an ancient time still shrouded in mystery to this day. So, what is he doing in Las Vegas, in 2009? And how did he get to be on a wolf-infested mountainside in Austria, in 1925?After the weirdest experience of his life, Hotep is transported across 4,328 years into the future with little more than the clothes he stands up in. He arrives in shock in 2009 and within hours finds himself on a dangerous mission to save lives. An evil, deadly force is at work, and it is based in the most unlikely of places. A king wants Hotep executed. A wolf wants to eat him. With plenty of edgy attitude, Hotep risks his life, time and again.This is a fast-paced act of daring by a resourceful young Egyptian from over 4,000 years ago, on a life-saving rescue mission through time.

For Paul Howard, who has ridden the entire Tour de France route during the race itself—setting off at 4 am each day to avoid being caught by the pros—riding a small mountain bike race should hold no fear. Still, this isn’t just any mountain bike race. This is the Tour Divide.Running from Banff in Canada to the Mexican border, the Tour Divide is more than 2,700 miles—500 miles longer than the Tour de France. Its route through the heart of the Rocky Mountains involves more than 200,000 feet of ascent—the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest seven times.The other problem is that Howard has never owned a mountain bike—and how will training on the South Downs in southern England prepare him for sleeping rough in the Rockies?Undaunted, Howard swaps the smooth tarmac roads of France for the mud, snow, and ice of the Tour Divide, fending off grizzly bears, mountain lions, and moose. Buzzing roadside fans are replaced by buzzing mosquitoes. Battling bad weather, drinking whiskey with a cowboy, and singing karaoke with the locals, Howard's journey turned into more than just a race — it became the adventure of a lifetime.
