The idea of the "paranormal" or the "woo-woo" element is strikingly popular these days. If such books bother you, or you find them offensive, The Third Gate by Lincoln Child is not for you. The paranormal as well as the idea of near death experiences play a major role in this novel.    Professor Jeremy Logan bills himself as an "Enigmologist" and is quite successful at it in addition to being a professor of Medieval History at Yale.

An exciting page-turner with a bit of a limp.

You get Lincoln Child with his novel The Third Gate.

Novelists have had a field day with books about Egyptian tomb curses, ever since the uncovering of King Tut's tomb in the 1920s. Some of these books have been good, and some not so good. There have also been a plethora of mummy movies scaring (or not) the daylights out of viewers. This well written book is the latest entry into the mummy curse field.      The main action takes place in a desolate and dangerous place on the upper Nile called the Sudd, where an archeological …
