This has got to be one of the best books that I've read! Smith weaves a world where words become reality. He is not always accurate with his Egyptian depictions...especially concerning his demonization of lord Set. I would highly recommend this to any Egyptian-based fan...

Ancient Egypt Rocks!
If you are not familiar with the work of Wilbur Smith, this is a good book to cut your teeth on. Mr. Smith weaves an awesome tale of romance and war in this epic novel. Never has a enuch been a hero such as this. You are transported to ancient Egypt during a time of unrest and thrown headfirst into a story that you know by book end is going to leave you breathless and wanting more. If you like adventure stories that are outside of the box, then this is the book for you.
