Product Description: In the prelude to this summer's blockbuster movie The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, adventurer Rick O'Connell and his son Alex embark on their most dangerous adventure yet. In Burma, Rick procures a stolen jewel that has unearthed the vengeful god of thunder, Xango. Now they have to stay one step ahead of corrupt treasure-hunters and angry spirit-demons if they want to prevent Xango from remaking the world in his image!
Very Disappointed by this book. I was very disappointed by this novel. It claims to be the official prelude to the new movie, but there's no mention of China, Dragon Emperors, or terra cotta warriors. We get instead loin clothed crazies running wild in Burma in a story that's not really all that interesting.The worst thing about this book for me was the fact that Evy is missing from this adventure. I had wondered if she would be drawn to look like Rachel Weisz or Maria Bello, and the answer is NEITHER! All we see of Evy is her back and her hand that's writing a letter to explain her absence. She was certainly missed, at least by me. Jonathan and Ardeth Bey were also MIA and not even mentioned once.It just didn't feel like THE MUMMY to me. The story could have been about anyone!If you're a huge Brendan Fraser fan, you might like the eight colored photos of him at the back of the book,but for everyone else I'd just say skip it.
