"Dr. Ptah! Who is that'" you ask. But Bruce has no time to answer.
The plane is landing. The door of the small compartment opens. Three
men grab you and Bruce by the ankles and pull you out of the plane,
dumping you on the ground like two sacks of potatoes. You look
around. You're at one end of a long, narrow, sandy island, bare
except for a few palm trees and a large pyramid-shaped building. Down
the beach there is a pier with a motor launch moored to it. One of
the men cuts the ropes on your feet and wrists, then does the same
for Bruce. More men appear, carrying rifles. "All right," one of them
orders, "you two march toward the building over there." As you walk,
you realize just how large the pyramid building is. Though clearly
not a solid structure like the ancient pyramids—it has rows of
windows at various heights—it is still twenty or thirty stories
high. A large mast of some sort rises from the top. The mast is bent
sideways to a crazy angle. An electronically controlled door slides
open at the base of the pyramid, and you are pushed inside. "Take
them to the throne room," you hear one of the guards order.
