Tourism to Hawaii is back and growing stronger than ever (the numbers were up by 3% in 1995 and by 5% in 1996, with increasing numbers of Canadian and Asian visitors). Growth promises to continue, with a brand-new $200 million state-of-the-art convention center set to open in Honolulu in 1998. Hawaii is also poised to allow gay marriagesif this measure is approved in 1997, well see an explosion in the number of gay visitors. Completely rewritten this year by two noted local journalists, Frommers is the premier guide to Oahu, from the restaurants, nightspots, and vibrant cultural scene of Honolulu to lesser-known spots on the north shore where you can escape the crowds.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a young unknown pharaoh remained, beneath his golden mask, in the darkness of a tomb deep in the Valley of the Kings. His name was Tutankhamun. He had lain undisturbed for a thousand years until two men, Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon, discovered the tomb and wrested him from obscurity in an attempt to solve his riddle. Christian Jacq tells the incredible true story of the strange curse of Tutankhamen which was to cause havoc among its unfortunate victims for the next half-century.

The Tutankhamun Affair

JACQ, CHRISTIAN

It's the 6th century A.D. and Christianity has been imposed throughout Egypt. On the holy island of Philae, off the southern coast, the last community faithful to the old ways struggles against the invader and continues active worship in its temple. Isis, leader of the community, is determined that their ideals will not die out. She embarks upon an unequal struggle against the all-powerful bishop Theodore to preserve the ancient mysteries. With the help of Sabni, who is bound to her by an everlasting love, Isis succeeds in restoring confidence to the followers. However, from north to south, dangers rise up to threaten the temple's existence.
