Advantages: Well researched, Great characters, Rich storyline

Disadvantages: Too addictive

I am not usually a Wilbur Smith fan but the Trilogy started by Rivergod, followed by The seventh Scroll and finished (?) with this book are breathtaking.

The trilogy focuses on the life and times of Egyptian Pharoes and their Hyskos neighbours. Wars, marriages, peace and witchcraft . . truly broad themes and characters.

The Only character that has survived all three books becomes the focus for this one, Taita. This character is a eunuch who has been the policymaker for a succession of Pharoes and has done it all from inventing the wheel to building pyramids to now . . . . magic!

The readability of a fast paced 'page turner' combined with the authors attention to detail in research and wordcraft makes this book a great read, probably perfect holiday book material.
