Book excerpt: Fitzwilliam Darcy, a playboy adventurer who has recently been inspired by the work of Giovanni Belzoni in Egypt, has decided to look for a partner to fund his newest expedition abroad, and his good friend Charles Bingley is just the man for the job. Darcy has read about a strange temple, abandoned to the sand and dedicated to a jackal headed god, and he simply must see it for himself. It’s not just the riches that tempt him to venture so far from home, it’s the fame that awaits their successful return. Seeking willing members of the Meryton militia as escorts, Charles and William host a grand fundraising ball, which draws the attention of the Bennet family. Mr. Bennet is intrigued by the adventure, and agrees to lend the final sum of money required to make the expedition a possibility. His only request, that his eldest daughters accompany them on their expedition to make a full report. Darcy cannot be bothered having women and “bad luck” along on their journey, but he can hardly say no to his final investor. Elizabeth Bennet has been captivated by ancient Egypt since her first visit to the British Museum, and she has made herself a quick study of the Rosetta Stone and she cannot contain her excitement at being permitted to come along on such a journey, despite the dour countenance of one Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Adventurer. Darcy's Adventures in Egypt contains TWO clean variation novels that place Our Dear Couple in the midst of the Egyptology craze that swept through England. A dash of adventure, and a hefty helping of danger, follow Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet to Egypt in the search for treasure, and the discovery of the very deepest love.
