FROM THE RUINS OF BATTLE
A HERO MUST RISE
FOR THE GLORY OF EGYPT
Years of Hyksos rule have seen the plunder of once-mighty Egypt. Though the two kingdoms have now been reunited by the armies of the true Pharaoh, his position is perilous, his rule under threat from those who seek to take advantage of the turmoil created by the overthrow of the Hyksos. Desperate to keep Egypt united, Taita the Magus summons his protégé, Piay, to solve a millennia-old riddle which has the power to secure Egypt’s future forever.
But in the tumult of war, an evil has thrived. Malevolent followers of Seth, the god of chaos, are determined to claim this power and usher in a new age of darkness.
The fate of Egypt is at stake. Can Piay prevent their land falling into the hands of those who would see its ruin?

Another good story, but this time there was something lacking,(for me anyway) but I still liked it.
I am waiting for the next one and maybe it will not be about Egypt.
Thanks, B Taylor.

The story was as fresh as the first Egyptian series book.

This book lacks the dynamics that they had when Wilbur wrote them. Used to be that he took you on an adventure, nowadays they are still great stories, but they do not pull you in as was the case when Wilbur wrote them. Don’t get me wrong I would still read it,(as I did) but don’t expect the compelling page turning of when Wilbur himself was alive and writing them.

Excellent story part of the Egypt series. Really enjoyable
by Graham Peacock
An usual telling of an unusual time in history. What do we really know of God or the other Gods. Very hard to put down and a tragic ending.

I have always loved Wilbur Smith’s novels. This is no exception. The story content is exceptional. I was enthralled all the way through and I was upset when I finally finished as I so loved the story.
I hope there is another story soon. Many thanks
