About this product

Product Information

New York Times bestselling author Wilbur Smith--hailed by Stephen King as the "best historical novelist" and one of the world's biggest-selling authors--returns to Ancient Egypt in this breathtaking epic that conjures the magic, mystery, romance, and bloody intrigue of a fascinating lost world. Game of Thrones meets Ancient Egypt in this magnificent, action-packed epic. On the gleaming banks of the Nile, the brilliant Taita--slave and advisor to the Pharaoh--finds himself at the center of a vortex of passion, intrigue, and danger. His quest to destroy the Hyksos army and form an alliance with Crete takes him on an epic journey up the Nile, through Arabia and the magical city of Babylon, and across the open seas. With the future of Egypt itself on his shoulders, Taita enters a world where the line between loyalty and betrayal shifts like the desert sands, evil enemies await in the shadows, and death lingers on the edges of darkness.

I was looking so forward to the boxed set as described when I purchased, but only received the book, no cards. I sent message and pic of book only and the little plastic bag with all mail info. And in a day had a positive response from seller. Thank you for your quick response, and for making it right. I am happy to purchase from this seller in the future :)

  • Ancient Egypt

    This is the fifth in a "series" by Wilbur Smith. I picked up the first at a thrift store and then promptly ordered the other four through eBay sellers. They are all centered around Taita, a gifted member of Pharoah's court. He is a lovable, conceited, loyal eunuch that lives through multiple rulers lives and families. A genius is all matters, but fascinating in describing the literature, architecture, medicine and multiple aspects of court life. I loved them, wish there were more!!!

  • A good read

    I have read all 6 books in this ancient Egyptian series and have enjoyed them all. Although these are novels, the historical events surrounding the characters are right on target.
