PB Book-Power Struggle-1 -US, UK, Can-Rev of The Secret of the Lost Pharaoh-Carolyn Arnold-Ends 5/6

Wednesday, April 18, 2018



The Secret of the Lost Pharaoh is every bit as good as The City of Gold (see my review here). I feel like I have waited forever for the 2nd book in this adventure series--it was worth the wait and then some! Mathew Connor and friends really get into a mess this time when they agree to help a former colleague of Matthews. The Emerald Tablets have never been far from his mind since he learned about them back in college. There was no way he was going to say no to this--and convinced his friends to accompany him.

Almost from the beginning of this non stop adventure it seemed like things were going wrong---and they got much worse. Who was friend--who was enemy? If they find the Lost Pharoah--will they find the Emerald Tablets--and then what?

This is still reminding me of Indiana Jones and I want to know why a movie or TV series hasn't been made yet!!

On an aside--the paperback book which is the giveaway I have also read--Yikes--you will love it too!! (read my review here).

Both of these series are MUST reads--Carolyn Arnold knows how to keep you turning the pages!!


The Secret of the Lost Pharaoh (Matthew Connor Adventure series Book 2) by [Arnold, Carolyn]
Mystery lovers will need to hold on to their hats for this follow-up to City of Gold, which reviewers described as “a fast-paced action adventure” that is “akin to an Indiana Jones story set in modern times.” Now, the second in the series promises to bring much of the same excitement! Join archaeologist and adventurer Matthew Connor and his friends as they go after the Emerald Tablets to save the world in The Secret of the Lost Pharaoh.


In Egypt’s Western Desert lies the tomb of an unnamed pharaoh that hides a secret so powerful, it could destroy the world as we know it.


Archaeologist and adventurer Matthew Connor has made a career of finding legends the world has all but forgotten. Though there’s one in particular that has fascinated him for years—the Emerald Tablets. Myth says that they possess the knowledge of the universe, allowing humankind to traverse Heaven and Earth, and have the power to bestow wealth and wisdom upon whomever possesses them. But if they fall into evil hands, it could cause a global disaster. 


So when a former colleague stumbles across an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic map that promises to lead to a pharaoh’s tomb and the Emerald Tablets, there’s no way he’s turning down her invitation to join the dig. He only has one stipulation: his best friends Robyn Garcia and Cal Myers come with him.


The road ahead isn’t going to be an easy one, and their shared dream of recovering the Emerald Tablets is being crushed at every turn. And just when they think it’s all over, they learn there are a few clues they have overlooked. But they’re no longer the only ones searching for the Tablets. Now, the fate of the world hangs in the balance, and soon they’ll find out that when it comes to hunting legends, they can’t trust anyone.

City of Gold, Matthew Connor Adventure Series Book 1 

Finding the Inca’s lost City of Gold would be the discovery of a lifetime. But failing could mean her death... 



Archaeologist Matthew Connor and his friends Cal and Robyn are finally home after a dangerous retrieval expedition in India. While they succeeded in obtaining the priceless Pandu artifact they sought, it almost cost them their lives. Still, Matthew is ready for the next adventure. Yet when new intel surfaces indicating the possible location of the legendary City of Gold, Matthew is hesitant to embark on the quest.



Not only is the evidence questionable but it means looking for the lost city of Paititi far away from where other explorers have concentrated their efforts. As appealing as making the discovery would be, it’s just too risky. But when Cal’s girlfriend, Sophie, is abducted by Matthew’s old nemesis who is dead-set on acquiring the Pandu statue, Matthew may be forced into action. Saving Sophie’s life means either breaking into the Royal Ontario Museum to steal the relic or offering up something no one in his or her right mind can refuse--the City of Gold.



Now Matthew and his two closest friends have to find a city and a treasure that have been lost for centuries. And they only have seven days to do it. As they race against the clock, they quickly discover that the streets they seek aren’t actually paved with gold, but with blood.

My favorite pharaoh is Hatshepsut who was a female pharaoh that ruled Egypt for 20 years, built many temples and traded with many countries.
