Book Description
At age 25, the once Princeton University wonder boy, James O. Woodward was a successful stockbroker. He was a very wealthy, extremely handsome, well-dressed, and sought after bachelor in New York City. James, who was raised by his archeology professor aunt and uncle, had everything he dreamed of, with one exception: a life partner whom he could trust and love unconditionally. Maggie I. Richardson, a self-confessed plain-looking legal assistant was working in a New York law firm where she was a subject of bullying by three of her attractive female colleagues for being a loner from Wisconsin. By chance, James and Maggie met in a bar where her colleagues took her for their amusement. James and Maggie made a slow, but successful progress in their relationship when they discovered a common interest: the love of ancient Egyptian history. James discovers that Maggie had a brother by the name of Seth; however, she refused to talk further about him when James inquired about her family. Unexpected events, one after another, took James and Maggie to Cairo, Egypt, where they encounter strange events on the Island of Agilika, events that could change the path of their lives forever. But first, they must survive the mysterious Island of “O,” as Osiris, an island that is nowhere to be find on any maps.

Book Description
If I could have a dollar for each time I heard the following questions: I detected an accent, where are you from? or How did you come to the United States or Refugee camp? You were really in a refugee camp? among other questions, I could have paid for a house in full from that money. Ever since I could remember I always wanted to come to the United States. This country was not just a dream for me; it was a reality that I wanted to accomplish before I reached age 25. The decision was easy knowing what I wanted since age 11, but leaving elderly parents behind was very difficult. However, I had parents who understood that I could not accomplish what I wanted to be, to become a writer in a country where if you were not a member of the Communist Party, your chances for success was minimal. I wanted to write things that did not please those who was part of the Communist Inquisition. I dared to escape from the poverty, the hypocrisy and oppression that were all around us. I was willing to pay the price of isolation, starvation or anything that would help me to come to America. And this is my story.
