Channeling Cleopatra
"Get the past life of your dreams!"

Leda Hubbard, a forensic pathologist, gets the job of her dreams when an old school friend hires her to collect and authenticate the DNA of the famous Cleopatra. It's all great fun for Leda until, during a massive disaster, her colorful dad, the dig's security specialist, is killed by a group trying to hijack the precious material for a "blend," a process in which the queen's DNA is used to import her memories, personality, and character traits to a new host. They screw up, however, and get Leda's dad's DNA instead. To keep the queen from going to the murderers, Leda blends with Cleopatra herself, learning a lot more about Egypt than she ever wanted to know.

"A bright, sometimes humorous, often dark, but always innovative speculative fiction. . . Elizabeth Ann Scarborough is always a treat to read but with this novel, she takes readers where nobody has gone before." BookBrowser
