520 _a"The Egyptian Cat Mystery: A Rick Brant Science-Adventure Story" by John Blaine is a science-adventure novel written in the early 1960s. The book follows young characters Rick Brant and his friend Scotty as they embark on an exciting journey that takes them to Egypt, where they become embroiled in a web of mystery surrounding an Egyptian cat statue. This adventure is set against a backdrop of scientific exploration, as Rick's father, Dr. Hartson Brant, and his colleague Parnell Winston engage in a project related to radio astronomy. The opening portion of the book introduces readers to Rick and Scotty as they prepare for a trip to Cairo, where a new radio telescope has been established. They receive a call to action from Winston, prompting excitement about their journey. Upon their arrival, the boys interact with various characters, including Dr. Abdel Kerama and Dr. Hakim Farid, who express the challenges they face concerning peculiar signals detected by the telescope. Rick is soon drawn into a mystery when he volunteers to deliver a plastic cat statue from a merchant named Bartouki, only to realize that there's more at stake than a simple delivery when they find themselves pursued by suspicious figures. As the narrative unfolds, the mystery deepens, and the boys' determination to uncover the truth about the cat's importance takes shape, setting the stage for thrilling encounters and scientific inquiries.
