Book Description
Created by acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, (Elizabeth; Golden Age; Four Feathers). A world away from the life she once knew in Los Angeles, few things have changed in Jessica Peterson's life. Her hair, her address, her friends - sure these things are different. But she still walks the world upon the edge of a knife: on one side, peril surrounds her, as the 68 - and a new, mysterious force - seek her destruction; on the other side, the Snake Goddess continues to churn inside her, thirsting for revenge... and blood. However, there are forces of good at work as well. Jess finds a friend and guide in Sari, an old Indian woman she met in Goa, who turns out to be the reincarnation of one of the villagers slaughtered by the 68 those 300 years ago. As Sari leads the way into the heart of the Kabini jungle - they do not know that they're being followed, by the 68, yes, but also by a darker, deadlier spirit than anyone can anticipate.

Snakewoman of Little Egypt
Author: Robert Hellenga
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1608193233
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Jackson Jones is trying to decide whether to remain an anthropology professor in his small Midwestern town, or to return to doing fieldwork among the Mbuti people, in their African Garden of Eden. His ruminations are interrupted by the arrival of a late friend's niece, who has just been sprung from jail. Sunny admits that she shot her husband, an evangelical pastor from the Little Egypt region of Illinois, but he had it coming after forcing her to take on a rattle snake. As an anthropologist, Jackson is curious about Sunny's experiences with The Church of the Burning Bush; as a man, he is not immune to her backwoods sassiness. Although Sunny is pleased to be with a kind partner at last, she is also serious about her belated education--funded by her late uncle--at Jackson's university. French and herpetology compete for her attention, and Jackson's plan to take her to Paris to propose marriage are waylaid when she decides to travel to an academic conference with her biology professor instead. Jackson is crushed and heads for Little Egypt in Sunny's absence, to get to know her ex-husband and to study the snake-handling ceremonies at his evangelical church. Complications ensue, including Jackson's near-death experience and Sunny's murder of her ex, but fate is a positive force for all in the end. Packed with both information and emotion, Snakewoman of Little Egypt delivers Robert Hellenga at the top of his form.

Jessica Petersen has grown accustomed to her "snake-ish" ways ... that is, turning into a half-woman, half-snake. As the reincarnated Snake Goddess, Jess has wreaked a path of vengeance against the 68 - those who had ruthlessly desecrated the sacred temple of the Snake God in the 18th century. Harker, head of the 68, is pleased with the arrangement he's made with Jess, and is determined to end the cycle of reincarnation he faces by helping her kill those he is meant to lead - even if that means destroying The Faithful, the secret society within the 68 created to protect its members from any harm. As the blood count gets thicker, Jess finds herself amidst a labyrinth of duplicity. Between the Faithful, Harker, and those closest to Jess, who can she trust, and who will pay the price of the Snake Woman's blood bath?
