Product Description
Product Description
Despite the tremendous shock of the Battle of Kadesh, Ramses has not managed to bring the formidable Hittite might to its knees. Rather than continue the struggle, he decides to engage in negotiation. But more important than anything to Ramses is the love he bears the Great Royal Consort, and he decides to offer Nefertari the most fabulous of gifts: at Abu Simbel two temples will be built - symbols of their eternal love. Meanwhile shadows are gathering, from Nubia to the sovereign's own capital of Pi-Ramses and Ramses must come face to face with Moses, the childhood friend whom he had lost sight of for so many years: Moses, who has returned to Egypt to demand the exodus of the Hebrew people.

Format:Paperback
I have read all five of the "Ramses" series of books and I have been thoroughly engrossed with the whole series. The story has continued with each new book in the series and I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone.

Format:Paperback
Continuing story of the life of Ramses the Great. Mixes historical fact and fiction using or contriving to use what we know (or can guess at) of the Ancient Egyptian way of Royal life. As good as the other book that I have read in this series.

Book four in the series of five, Jacq still keeps the plot going, marvallous series keep them coming.

This was the forth of the series of books by Christian Jacq which I have read. After reading the first Novel: "Ramses Son of Light" they proved to be addictive. Read more

Oh, quiet, you.
Why I liked it? I don't know, but the mixture of history and myth was done very skillfully. I actually found all of the repetition of things from previous books to be very helpful... Read more

After four novels I would have expected to have learned more about the nature of Ramses, but, as usual, the characterisation is very weak and the plot unfolds in a series of... Read more
