Synopsis
Latro forgets everything when he sleeps. Writing down his experiences every day and reading his journal anew each morning gives him a poignantly tenuous hold on himself, but his story's hold on readers is powerful indeed. The two previous novels, combined in "Latro In The Mist" ("Soldier Of The Mist" and "Soldier Of Arete"), are generally considered classics of contemporary fantasy. At last, we have a new book, and Wolfe promises more in the future. Latro now finds himself in Egypt, a land of singing girls, of spiteful and conniving deities. Without his memory, he is unsure of everything except his desire to be free of the curse that causes him to forget. The visions Gene Wolfe conjures, of the wonders of Egypt and of the adventures of Latro as he and his companions journey up the great Nile into unknown or legendary territory, are unique and compelling.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Gene Wolfe does it again..., 6 Mar 2007 By  L. A. Powell (England) - See all my reviews    If you're yet to become involved in Gene Wolfe's writings, you shouldn't be reading this, you should be reading the reviews for his epic "Book of the New Sun" and then buying that. But if like me you are already a fan, this is certainly a treat. Again we find Latro struggling to live day to day, with no past and a only a glimmer of hope into finding his future. Set in the wonderfully detailed world of ancient Egypt, Latro must make many journeys in order to honour his friends, himself, and his memory, meeting many fascinating creatures and powerful Gods and Goddesses along the way. Soldier of Sidon is definately my favourite of the "Latro" novels, and whilst most certainly the easiest to dissect, I feel this makes for a more enjoyable read. Get involved with Latro now, then complete your collection with this wonderful tale of heroism and struggle. You won't regret it.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
