How did Hank Boyd get his start in the world of archaeology? The Hank Boyd Origins will give readers a look into the years preceding the events of Blood & Sand, starting with The Cursed Pharaoh. Renowned historian, Dr. William Boyd, and his rebellious son, Hank, are called in to investigate an exciting discovery after the tomb of an Egyptian monarch is located. What they find is equal parts perplexing and alarming as Hank contracts a long-dormant virus hidden within the crypt, one that is warned to be a "scourge against humanity." Now, the father and son duo, along with a close friend and colleague of theirs, must figure out what's infecting Hank before it's too late. And as if things couldn't get any worse, a sect of ancient warriors are hot on their heels, intent on silencing anyone who disturbs their king's final resting place.
