History never ceases to amaze us and there is much out there that is still unknown. There were several generations that lived before us and many are yet to come into existence. So, when archaeologists and other experts discover something new about the old, it’s always a fascinating journey of understanding what really went down there. In 2000, French archaeologist and head of the European Institute of Maritime Archaeology, Franck Goddio, led a team that successfully located the ancient city of Thonis-Heracleion, which was Egypt’s only port on the Mediterranean coast about 2,500 years ago.

It hasn’t even been three years since James S.A. Corey—also known as Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck—published Leviathan Falls, the final novel of the Expanse. It feels longer, somehow. But three years is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to wait for the followup. The Mercy of Gods arrives as the first of a trilogy, and it also arrives with enough stellar worldbuilding, moral complexity, and high-stakes human drama to make a person wish this series would be nine books long as well.

Who is Anubis? Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god, is often depicted with a jackal's head and a human body. He played a crucial role in Egyptian mythology, especially in the afterlife. Anubis was the protector of graves and the guide of souls to the afterlife. His duties included overseeing the mummification process and weighing the hearts of the deceased against the feather of Ma'at, the goddess of truth. This determined whether a soul was worthy of entering the afterlife. Anubis's significance in Egyptian culture cannot be overstated, as he ensured the dead received proper rites and a fair judgment.
