A Secret of the Sphinx
The MacHugh Memoirs (1798-1801)
by James L. McWilliams


Spring of 1798: Young Rory MacHugh leaves his Blackfoot World for an Ancient World. There determination, versatility, and several unique friends enable him to survive many new lives - a British sailor, an Egyptian Mameluke, a convict, a Secret Agent, a French Grenadier, a Highland solider, and a forbidden lover in an Egyptian court. But the most devastating is his first encounter with the man destined to plunge the world into war and to become Rory’s own personal demon, the young General Napoleon Bonaparte.

“If you want to escape today's world and enter into the life and times of the early 1800s in Egypt - and meet Napoleon - this novel will quickly take you there.”
