A highly readable blend of history, supposition, adventure, politics and sex. Ramses is an aging Pharaoh leading a dominant Egypt, but his friends and colleages are themselves dying of disease, old age and foul play. ( ) The final book of the Ramses series. Overall, I thought the series was too fantasy-ish for my taste. The historical story of Phaoroh Ramses is so magnificent, and from what we know of Ramses, we was an amazing leader. These books could have been so much grander if all the magic and witchcraft where left out. Oh yeah, and if the writing were better. no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesRamses (5)
Having led Egypt to glorious prosperity, 50-year-old Ramses should be able to rest. His hard-won peace, however, is fragile: The Hittite king wants him to marry his daughter, and revolt is brewing among the revenge-driven Libyans. Ramses still knows how to work miracles to save his beloved land, but even a pharaoh understands that he cannot live forever. No library descriptions found.
