BLURB – THE FALLEN PHARAOH
It's
time to reunite without the burden of a perilous quest. Let's just sit back, relax and enjoy the
moment. The idea is simple enough. What could possibly go wrong?
Tragedy
sends a shockwave across the land, and rumours begin to surface and spread. Has the very thing that protects the Pharaoh
gone missing? An ancient Egyptian legend
foretells that without it, the safety of the Pharaoh is doomed. Khafre calls upon his trusted friends from
the future to seek out the fabled Ankh of Life.
It's a
quest to discover if the legend is true.
If it is, our heroes need to find the ankh and return it to its rightful
place. The awesome foursome from the future
are in the race of their life - against the passage of time and mysterious
forces that want them stopped.
This
edge-of-your-seat adventure weaves its thrills and mystery through the very
crossroads of time itself. From ancient
Egypt, to the centre of time, to modern Paris.
The gang of four must face their most amazing encounters so far.
The
pressure is on. Who is trying to stop
them? Will our heroes overcome the
danger and challenges of their newest quest? Only time will tell.
The
time has come for the legend to rise and protect.
ABOUT THE QUEST SERIES
The
Quest series is an exciting time-travel adventure like no other, which has won
over fans from all ages. Kids love it
because it takes them on an action-packed ride, and adults love it because it
reminds them of their childhood dreams of adventure. It has been described as Harry Potter meets Percy
Jackson meets Indiana Jones meets The Mummy.
The
underlying essence that I have tried to inject into this series is maximum
adventure, maximum action, amazing settings, awesome humour and relatable
characters. I wanted my heroes to be
just everyday kids, who find themselves in the most awesome adventure of their
lives. These books are so vividly burnt
into my mind, that I can see the settings, smell the air, and feel the emotions
of the characters. It has taken me years
to get the story to where it is now, and there are still a couple more books to
come. My dream would be for the series
to become loved enough to spawn a CG movie or two or more (A very wild dream, I
know - but one that I'll hold onto - ya gotta have dreams.).
JJ,
Linc and Rani are just three normal kids who have found themselves in adventures
that none of them could ever have imagined. The series is an edge-of-your-seat tale of
time-travel that spans from modern times to ancient Egypt. The past and present collide as our heroes are
tasked with saving history (and the future) from turmoil. It's not an easy job, especially when their
arch enemies have an army of living statues, known as Uberdiles at their side. Over the course of the quests, our heroes meet
many wonderful characters and learn about their own strengths, the importance
of teamwork and loyalty, and how trust each other.
Last
year I was fortunate enough to travel to Singapore and I visited Universal
Studios (I'm a theme park fan). One of
the key things that attracted me to visit the newest Universal theme park was
that I knew there was an ancient Egypt zone, which housed one
of my favourite rides, The Mummy. Well,
as soon as I arrived in the zone I felt just like I had stepped through time
and into my books. The ancient Egypt
theming was awesome and the detail and scale were stunning. There were even some giant statues of one of
my characters, Anubis. To read more
about my visit, click here to jump to my blog post.
I'd be
honoured if you would give the Quest series a go and read each of the exciting
quests. I'm confident that you'll find
that it will take you on an adventure that will knock your socks off.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
S.W.
Lothian is a funny and cool guy from Australia. His kids call him ‘Phil
Dunphy’, because he reminds them of the dad from Modern Family. He isn’t sure whether this is a compliment or
not, but he takes it as a compliment.
As an
imaginative kid he dreamed of creating exciting worlds and funky characters,
and thought he’d be the most famous person to ever do this. He loved to draw and was dux of Art in High
School. Top of his dream list was to be
an animator. Along with his friend (who
went on to be a semi-regular in an Aussie TV Soapie) they would make their own
comic books – it kept them entertained and out of trouble (most of the time).
He
loved watching all those classic cartoons on TV - Scooby Doo, The Flintstones,
The Jetsons, Road Runner (surely, Coyote would win one day), Wacky Races, the
list goes on and on. All he wanted to do
was to create cool characters and stories by hand. He was sure his animation dream would happen -
It was to be the perfect career.
BOOM! Then reality hit. As weird as it may seem, there were not a lot
of opportunities for world famous animators in his home city. The dreams were parked as reality and the
corporate world beckoned. Then, 25 years
later, the long-held dream to create erupted like a jam donut in a microwave
and S.W. started writing children's fiction for kids. Perhaps his awesome stories will become so
popular that they will be animated one day.
When
he writes, it’s for his kids. He writes
stories to excite them, inspire them and teach. Stories with awesome edge-of-your-seat action
and adventure scattered with fun. Stories
that let adults remember their own childhood dreams.
His
dream has evolved over the years, from superstar cartoonist – to corporate
soldier – to proud parent – to children’s writer. In his wildest dreams, his books will be
extremely successful. However, it’s one
step at a time. A waterfall starts with
a trickle; he hopes his books are his waterfall. He’s building that waterfall – one book at a
time.
