Based on the upcoming sequel to the smash hit film "The Mummy", this novelization of "The Mummy Returns", starring Brendan Fraser and The Rock, is written by a Shamus Award-winning author. "The Mummy Returns" is scheduled for release on Memorial Day weekend, 2001.

Now a major motion picture from Universal Pictures starring Brendan Fraser. Dashing American and legionnaire Rick O'Connell is in Egypt looking for a good time. His discovery of the Lost City of the Dead is a fluke--but to British librarian Evelyn Carnarvon, it's the archaeological find of the century. Leading Evelyn's expedition deep into the Sahara isn't exactly easy money, as Rick comes face to face with an evil from long ago returned from the grave with a taste for human flesh.

"This is the second exciting Mummy movie. Ten years after their last battle with Imhotep, Evelyn and Rick O'Connell are back in Egypt. It is the Year of the Scorpion and people in Egypt are afraid. Somebody has to kill the Scorpion King, or the world will end."--Back cover.

This book, the remake of the 1932 horror classic, is set to be one of the biggest films of 1999. The book takes the reader behind the scenes in the making of Universal Studios' blockbuster, including the dazzling special effects work of Industrial Light & Magic.
