I think he learned more about Egypt from this gamebook than he did at school! The book delivers everything: mystery, suspense, richly researched rituals, and choices that truly matter. I finished my first playthrough in awe and immediately started a second to explore new routes.” ★★★★☆ “A feast of myth, archaeology, and storytelling.” —The Scroll & Sandstone Literary Journal “Part historical thriller, part archaeological mystery, part cerebral puzzle quest— The Serpent’s Veil is a rare gem. The level of research is impressive, but it never overwhelms the adventure. My only complaint is that I wanted it to be even longer.” ★★★★★ “A beautifully designed adventure that rewards curiosity.” —E. Marston, Author of The Last Oracle of Memphis “The perfect game book for kids 9 to 12 years of age (and their parents, too.) The branching narrative is clever without ever feeling contrived. Every object you pick up, every ally you trust or betray, every inscription you decipher changes your relationship to the story. Few authors achieve this level of interactive elegance.” ★★★★★ “Dark, intelligent, and relentlessly atmospheric.” —Temple & Torch Literary Quarterly “A gamebook that reads like an epic. My fifteen year old daughter triumphed her first time through! The Serpent’s Veil doesn’t just recreate Cleopatra’s Egypt—it resurrects it.” DISCLAIMER: This work is not affiliated with “Choose Your Own Adventure”, nor endorsed by Bantam Books, Random House, or Chooseco.
