The Pyramids

Cairo bound we charge our last breakfast buffet on the cruise boat like starved castaways and disembark to the taxi rank. After 10 mins haggling including heading down the road with our backpacks a driver gives us the “real price” and drops us to town, we drop bags with a friendly chap at the train station before looping into explore Luxor Temple and the avenue of Sphinxes.

After grabbing supplies we board for a day long journey to Cairo. The seats are comfortable and the train follows the Nile up toward the capital. Sugarcane plantations whiz by and we stop at remote towns and cities throughout the day. Each time collecting or depositing locals chattering on basic mobile phones, carrying too much luggage and buying coffee from the train car attendant. Locals are friendly and non threatening, actually some of the most chill Egyptians we’ve met. The journey is 9 hours and we finally hop off to meet our Uber/rally driver to head to the hostel. This ensues one of the most harrowing journeys of the trip so far. There are no rules on Egyptian highways and everyone thinks they’re Paul Walker in the Fast and the Furious. Pumping techno beats interspersed with local flavor our driver tries to break the land speed record and we try to resist the g force....

After a breathless 15 minutes we career onto a by road, swerving around a dog and 2 trucks as the pyramids come into view. Turns out our hostel literally overlooks them. For $27. Also turns out Giza is a dump, rubbish, rats and dog shit surrounding the entrance to the iconic burial mounds.

Pyramids open at 8am. We enter at 8.01 and have the place to ourselves. The pyramids are awe inspiring, up close it’s really hard to imagine the toil and engineering that went into them 5000 years ago. After bribing a chap to let us stand on the fence to get photos with the equally massive Sphinx we head back to have breakfast on the roof without losing sight of the pyramids.

Round 2 commences the camel ride haggling. Egyptians have been the hardest (most irritating) touts to deal with to date and this is epitomized by the following interaction:

1st camel man: you like camel ride? I work for government, here’s my ID - I give you fair price

Johney: ah we’re ok thanks

1st camel man: (following us) you must go with government company

Johney: ok we’ll pay $5 each for an hour.

1st camel man: that is crazy, it will be $20 each per hour

Johney: nope, thanks anyway

1st camel man: ok ok $15

Johney: no, $5

1st camel man (getting shirty) no I cannot do for this price

Johney: (walking away) ok bye

1st camel man: wait wait, for you $10 final best price

Johney: I know the price, $5 each for an hour. Take it or not

1st camel man: (now angry) I cannot do it! You must pay $10

Johney: (leaving) no

1st camel man: (waits 1 minute, runs after us) ok ok my friend I give you $5 for hour

Johney: deal, but no changing the price on us when we get to the camels

1st camel man: no no I’m not liar, honest man

(Pointless small talk, arrive at camels)

1st camel man: now you need to tip 2nd camel man very good, he do good job, big tip.

Johney + Tori: FFS!!!! you just said we agreed the price!!!!! Jesus Christ!!!! $&@“&&—$@(&&@“&)@$@@)::)&@“$$

1st camel man: ok ok, (tells 2nd camel man the situation, both get sulky)

We both get up on 2 hump camels who kneel obligingly to let us on and we are away, swaying across the desert and up into the dunes overlooking the 11 pyramids. The rocking of the camels + the heat is hypnotic, and it’s easy to imagine ourselves making a long trek across the desert to gaze upon the resting place of the greatest pharaohs. All too quickly we are headed back down past the great pyramid toward the Sphinx, after a quick shouting match between Johney and 2nd camel man who tried to only give us a half hour ride we dismount and take one last look as the place begins to swarm with tour busses, Nikons and blue jeans...

Pyramids Part II

Back at the hostel we negotiate with a taxi man to drive us south to Memphis the ancient capital and Saqqara the site of the first pyramid designed by Imhotep and still standing, known more commonly as the stepped pyramid. Totally different atmosphere just 25 mins drive from the mayhem of Giza. There are several tombs of local nobles that we can climb down into and the design of the Stepped Pyramid makes it T’s favorite. There are still excavations ongoing in Saqqara and 2 weeks after we leave another intact tomb is discovered complete with treasures. We end the journey squabbling with the taxi man who (shockingly) asks for more money than originally agreed. We part with him not quite as friends in the heart of Cairo and go to “relax” in our hostel.

Yeah, the shift toward warmer weather and cool evenings sipping beer after some grueling lawncare is great and all, but for me the best part of spring is the blossoming of new books. From the looks of things, there's a boatload of promising intrigue, blood-curdling chills, and action-packed adventures ahead. While it's a sure bet I have plenty of other books in my TBR and review pile, here's the Top 10 spring reads I am most looking forward to.

It's the dawn of a new era - and we're ready to colonize Mars. But the company that's been contracted to construct a new Mars base, has made promises they can't fulfill and is desperate enough to cut corners. The first thing to go is the automation . . . the next thing they'll have to deal with is the eight astronauts they'll send to Mars, when there aren't supposed to be any at all.

Frank - father, architect, murderer - is recruited for the mission to Mars with the promise of a better life, along with seven of his most notorious fellow inmates. But as his crew sets to work on the red wasteland of Mars, the accidents mount up, and Frank begins to suspect they might not be accidents at all.

They Feed by Jason Parent

April 15, 2018 | Sinister Grin Press

The night uncovers all we wish not to see. A troubled man enters a dusky park before sunset. A young woman follows, hidden in shadow. Both have returned to the park to take back something the past has stolen from them, to make right six long years of suffering, and to find justice or perhaps redemption—or maybe they'll settle for some old-fashioned revenge. But something evil is alive and awake in those woods, creatures that care nothing for human motivations. They’re driven by their own insatiable need: a ravenous, bottomless hunger. The campgrounds are full tonight, and the creatures are starving. Before the night is over, they will feed. An unrelenting tale of terror from Jason Parent, acclaimed author of People of the Sun and What Hides Within.

Breaking the World by Jerry Gordon

April 17, 2018 | Apex Books

Cyrus doesn't believe in David's predictions, and he's not interested in being part of a cult. But after the sudden death of his brother, his parents split up and his mom drags him to Waco, Texas against his will. At least he's not alone. His friends, Marshal and Rachel, have equally sad stories that end with them being dumped at the Branch Davidian Church. Together, they're the trinity of nonbelievers, atheist teens caught between a soon to be infamous cult leader, an erratic FBI, and an epidemic that may confirm the worst of the church's apocalyptic prophecies. With tanks surrounding the Branch Davidians and tear gas in the air, Cyrus and his friends know one thing for certain: They can't count on the adults to save them. In his debut novel, Jerry Gordon takes readers deep inside the longest standoff in law enforcement history for an apocalyptic thriller that challenges the news media's reporting of the event, the wisdom of militarizing domestic law enforcement, and the blurry line between religion and cult.

In the near future, an aggressive and terrifying new form of dementia is affecting victims of all ages. The cause is unknown, and the symptoms are disturbing.

Crippled by a secret addiction and suffering from creeping paranoia, Gillian finds her journey becoming a nightmare as unexplainable and violent events plague the mission. With her grip weakening on reality, she starts to doubt her own innocence. And she’s beginning to question so much more—like the true nature of the mission, the motivations of the crew, and every deadly new secret space has to offer.

Blood Standard by Laird Barron

May 29, 2018 | G.P. Putnman's Sons

Award-winning author Laird Barron makes his crime fiction debut with a novel set in the underbelly of upstate New York that's as hardboiled and punchy as a swift right hook to the jaw--a classic noir for fans of James Ellroy and John D. Macdonald. Isaiah Coleridge is a mob enforcer in Alaska--he's tough, seen a lot, and dished out more. But when he forcibly ends the moneymaking scheme of a made man, he gets in the kind of trouble that can lead to a bullet behind the ear. Saved by the grace of his boss and exiled to upstate New York, Isaiah begins a new life, a quiet life without gunshots or explosions. Except a teenage girl disappears, and Isaiah isn't one to let that slip by. And delving into the underworld to track this missing girl will get him exactly the kind of notice he was warned to avoid.

The Woman in the Woods by John Connolly

June 12, 2018 | Atria/Emily Bestler Boks

From internationally bestselling author and “creative genius who has few equals in either horror fiction or the mystery genre” (New York Journal of Books) comes a gripping thriller starring Private Investigator Charlie Parker. When the body of a woman—who apparently died in childbirth—is discovered, Parker is hired to track down both her identity and her missing child. In the beautiful Maine woods, a partly preserved body is discovered. Investigators realize that the dead young woman gave birth shortly before her death. But there is no sign of a baby. Private detective Charlie Parker is hired by a lawyer to shadow the police investigation and find the infant but Parker is not the only searcher. Someone else is following the trail left by the woman, someone with an interest in much more than a missing child…someone prepared to leave bodies in his wake. And in a house by the woods, a toy telephone begins to ring and a young boy is about to receive a call from a dead woman.

I'm also planning on digging into several titles that have been lingering in my review pile for quite a while, including the Bram Stoker Award-nominated Kill Creek by Scott Thomas. What's on your reading list for the next couple months ahead?
