Cleopatra 7.2 by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough is a sequel to her 2002 novel Channeling Cleopatra. Set immediately after the conclusion of the previous book, the telling of Cleopatra 7.2 is primarily split between the points of view of the two Cleopatras. As established in the first book, it has become possible to introduce the DNA of a long dead person into a living person, resulting in a "blended personality", although the degree of actual blending appears to differ from case to case. In the previous book, the DNA of Cleopatra Philopater was found and introduced into forensic anthropologist Leda Hubbard. In this new volume, the same DNA has been introduced to Egyptologist Gabriella Farouk, thus giving life to second modern incarnation of the seventh Cleopatra of the line of Ptolemy, or Cleopatra 7.2
