4.0 out of 5 stars Flawless Victory 6 Dec 2011
By Stark Raving Welsh
Format:Kindle Edition
Stories concerning globetrotting adventures have never, in my personal opinion, been a literary thing. I've always considered the genre to be distinctly filmic. However, with Scarab, the author has somehow managed to forego expectations of the genre and constructed a thoroughly breathtaking exploration. You almost feel like you're watching a movie when you read Scarab because the imagery is so vividly explained, the adventure so amazingly captivating. It is as if the author had taken inspiration from his favourite action/adventure films and designed the basic structure of his novel around their elements but then eschewed off into much smarter, and in some ways more believable, subject matter. Of course, it is what it is, a story of myth and legend... and whatnot. I consider myself ever the skeptic but even I can believe some of the things in Scarab contain a certain fluidity. I was inclined to think "this could happen" at several different points throughout the book. And I think any story that can make a person believe in, ahem, magic or myth is worth checking out. That kind of experience doesn't come along often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping ride ... 4 Dec 2011
By Hugh D. Brown
Format:Kindle Edition
It amazes me that all these characters, scenarios and events can possibly co-exist in one story but Stavros has managed an incredible feat of writing. Not only does it all fit together but it is a gripping story with interesting characters. Well done, Stavros - highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Scarab 18 Aug 2012
By Jeanne Spencer
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a real page turner for me as I am very keen on all stories with a link to the far distant past. As with many books I have purchased frim Amazon,I really enjoyed it. The down side? It ended too soon. Perhaps there may be a sequel and if there is, I will read it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Scarab review
Reading the blurb for the book I thought it was going to be more about Egyptology so I was a bit disappointed how it changed. I thought it was an okay read though.

Early promise turned into an abject lesson in how to make your leading female character a tramp, but enjoyable reading.
