===''The Egyptologist'' (2004)=== ''The Egyptologist'' is structured as journals, letters, telegrams, and drawings, from several different points of view. The main story is set in 1922 and follows a hopeful explorer who, working near [[Howard Carter]] (the man who discovered the tomb of [[King Tutankhamun]]), risks more and more of his life and savings on an apparently quixotic effort to find the tomb of an apocryphal Egyptian king.<ref>{{ cite web |url=http://www.archaeology.org/online/reviews/egyptologist.html |title=The Egyptologist Who Would Be Pharaoh |work=Archeology.org |publisher=the Archaeological Institute of America |author=Pinkowski, Jennifer }}</ref> The book was an international bestseller and critical success in more than two dozen countries. US critics noted Phillips's versatility in producing a book so different from his first, and fans of the book included [[Gary Shteyngart]], [[George Saunders]], [[Elizabeth Peters]], and [[Stephen King]]. Others, however, most notably [[Michiko Kakutani]] of ''The New York Times'', found the book overlong and confusing.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/24/books/books-of-the-times-archaeology-with-brio-if-no-mummy.html?scp=10&sq=%22arthur+phillips%22&st=nyt|work=The New York Times|title=Archaeology With Brio, If No Mummy|author=Kakutani, Michiko|date=August 24, 2004}}</ref>
