The Lady of Abu Simbel

Perhaps the most depressing and downbeat book in the series so far. A book about loss - Ramses loses people close to him, and this volume also briefly covers the flight of the Hebrews from Egypt, downplaying the biblical story and yet portraying a matter-of-fact believable set of events which one could imagine being the basis of mythology grown up around it.

This was an excellent book. The history was quite accurate as were the everyday activities. The characters were multi-dimensional unlike many historical fictions involving royalty. There was enough action and intrigue to interest all readers. The writing style was fantastic.

4th book of the series of Ramses. I don't know why I kept reading them, for they are not very good! Once you pop...

Terrible. Editor needed shooting.

A vivid re-creation of the majesty and mystery of ancient times, Ramses has swept across France, then the rest of Europe, then Asia. Every book in this spectacular series has been an international blockbuster bestseller--and American readers are quickly falling under it
