"This short story captivated me from the opening descriptions of the port of Alexandria that were colorful and spellbinding.. The hunt for the ancient statue of the dark queen on a the sea floor. I can hear it calling to me now."

"Every so often you need a quick hit of a great short story. I've been a fan of JF Penn for years and love the way she can get into a character and let them fly. This story hits you from the beginning and by the end of the story you're holding your breath to see what happens. It was a surprise ending that was totally satisfying."

"The story goes in a different direction than I had expected. I’m not much for short stories but am surprised by how much emotion such a short piece can elicit."
