Two time-travellers from the 27th century go missing in Ancient Egypt. Edward Davis, a promising rookie in the Time Service is sent back to find them...back much further than he has ever been before. Reeling from the time-jump, he arrives in Thebes only to find his survival training is no protection against the intoxicating magic of Egypt: Pyramids and obelisks; snakes with legs; winking sphinxes; birds with the heads of women and women with the heads of birds; forests of huge stone columns; lapis lazuli and gold and a plump Pharaoh on his throne. Davis has thirty days in which to get a grip and find the missing time travellers. Instead, he's taken in by a temple priestess, befriended by a beautiful slave girl and tricked into crossing the Nile to to the City of the Dead. As the scheduled hour of his rendezvous with the time field approaches, Davis is faced with the truth behind the fate of his former colleagues and the prospect of sharing that fate.

Or will they be caught in the middle of a war that could break apart the galaxy....Cover art by Chris Moore. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/hidden-empire-kevin-j-anderson/ -
NOT a film novelisation...The original story. In the future Era of Youth, there will be too many people and not enough food. So in an orderly and systematic fashion the old ones - those over the age of twenty one - must be got rid of. It was easily done - in the palm of everyone's right hand was embedded a crystal flower. In adults - those over the age of fourteen - the crystal shone crimson. And when the crystal turned black it was time to report to a Sleepshop. Those who didn't report for annihilation - those who tried to escape - were hunted down by the Deep Sleep men - and exterminated. Logan was a DS man - efficient, fast and cruel. But one day the crystal in his hand began to flicker - black, red, black...and Logan discovered he did not want to die!
