The Mummy
Max Allan Collins
AN ANCIENT LEGENDImhotep, High Priest of Osiris, lusted after an Egyptian beauty whom no man but the Pharaoh was meant to touch. Punished for his blasphemy, Imhotep was mummified and buried alive—cursed throughout all eternity.
A SWASHBUCKLING ADVENTURERRick O’Connell, dashing American and legionnaire, is in Egypt looking for a good time. His discovery of the lost City of the Dead is a fluke—but to British librarian Evelyn Carnahan it’s the archaeological find of the century. The city contains all the treasures of Egypt and possibly the secrets of life and death. Leading Evelyn’s expedition deep into the Sahara isn’t exactly easy money, though, as Rick must dodge death traps, escape the jaws of man-eating beetles, and even duel a hook-handed mercenary. And just when he’s caught his breath, a long-ago evil returns from the grave—with a taste for human flesh.

The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Max Allan Collins
Doomed by a double-crossing sorceress to spend eternity in suspended animation, China’s ruthless Dragon Emperor and his ten thousand warriors have laid forgotten for eons, entombed in clay as a vast, silent terra-cotta army. But when dashing adventurer Alex O’Connell is tricked into awakening the ruler from eternal slumber, the reckless young archaeologist must seek the help of the only people who know more than he does about taking down the undead: his parents, Rick and Evelyn O’Connell.
As the monarch roars back to life, our hero finds his quest for world domination has only intensified over the millennia. Striding the Far East with unimaginable supernatural powers, the Emperor Mummy will rouse his legion as an unstoppable, otherworldly force . . . unless the O’Connells can stop him first.
