Ra saw the blue light growing brighter and tried to pull his hand out of the circle. 'Let go!' he shouted. But Daniel held on. The room was swimming round him now. All he could see was Catherine's udjat eye round Ra's neck. He caught it in one hand and pulled hard. The last thing he saw was the blue light cutting cleanly through Ra's arm ... Then everything went black. Ra stood by the circle, holding his arm and screaming for help. The blue light in the circle grew brighter, and suddenly, in place of Daniel, lay the head of Ra's terrible killer, Anubis. Ra knew he had to get to the coffin. It could grow back his lost arm ... And he knew that he had to escape: the miners knew now that he wasn't a god. He could hear the angry crowd outside. A line of blood followed him to the golden chair. He touched a white stone on the chair's arm, and the star-ship's machines started.
