Publisher Description

This enthralling international best-seller is a seductive re-creation of the glory and opulence of ancient Egypt. It spurred a national craze for all things Egyptian in France, and has sold over two million copies worldwide.

The new Pharaoh, Ramses, aspires to greatness of a magnitude undreamed of by mortal men. But to thwart his dreams, a gaggle of fiends, including a sorcerer, invaders, and his own brother awaits him. Now he will learn whether the friends of his youth - people such as Moses and the aging Greek poet, Homer - can truly be trusted.

    " The first book in this series, I liked; this one, I didn't. I really, really wanted to like it, and I tried. I was fascinated by the author's idea of the Moses/Ramses friendship and was eager to read his spin on that. But I didn't even finish it. (Way) Too much dialogue, and too many really non-believable situations. Also I found the many anachronisms really distracting. "
