Cover Story
The illustration on the cover of this issue of Books for Keeps shows the arrival of King Sahure's funeral procession at the pyramid at Abusir around 2473 BC. Reconstructed from archaeological evidence, this illustration by David Salariya and Shirley Willis is taken from Ancient Egypt by Rosalie and Antony E. David, published by Kingfisher in the History as Evidence series (0 86272 091 5, £3.95). We are grateful to Kingfisher for help in using this illustration. (See Information Please, pages 20-21)

Darker than a thousand suns. Village coven prepares to sacrifice abducted teenager in abandoned nuclear power station. Critical mass enables ancient satanic forces to resume control. Well, we knew that, sort of. Luckily, teenager has unsuspected powers for good. I liked the opening pace and build-up and the fossil dinosaur animation sequence. At the end, the hero's friend says, 'I've got a nasty feeling that this isn't all over yet.' Me too, but this book and its expected sequel(s) will attract some readers.
