Cleopatra 7.2 by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough Buy book: $16.06
The Nebula Award-winning author continues the tale of Cleopatra's resurrection as the Queen of the Nile's DNA is blended with two present day hosts, forensic anthropologist Leda Hubbard and Egyptologist Gabriella Farouk--Cleopatra 7.1 and 7.2 respectively.
I have always been fascinated with Egypt. What a novel idea to be going there through the use of modern technology and the "combination" of Cleopatra's soul/essence with a woman of the modern day.
Just from today's readings, I think this will be an excellent read!

The hapless man, who feels the book-disease..."

Just from reading two days worth of samples convinced me I must buy this book tomorrow. My one ping is that the cover art is not something that would have caught my attention if left to my own devices. Thanks for picking this book for review
I just finished Cleopatra 7.2 last night and it was really good! I am not usually a Science Fiction fan, but this one really grabbed my attention. I did not realize, though, that it is the sequel to Channeling Cleopatra. I wish I'd know sooner so I could have started with that one. I'll just have to go back and read it now. It seemed at the end that she left it open for a sequel... did anyone else get that impression?
