The would-be author Herodotus hires Nico and his priestess wife, Diotima, to accompany him to Egypt to research the ancient country's history. Unfortunately, Egypt happens to be in the throes of a rebellion against its overlords, the Persian Empire. Pirates infest the sea route. Three different armies roam the Egyptian countryside. The river is full of crocodiles.A simple historical investigation turns into a dangerous adventure of international espionage.
