by Christian Jacq

Overview

The fourth entry in the international bestselling saga finds the pharaoh building a temple as others plot to make his empire crumble.

“The Ramses saga . . . is a must-read bestseller.” —Paris Match (France)

The might Pharaoh Ramses, after winning a major battle against the Hittites, turns to new intrigues aimed at his throne . . . and his heart. His boyhood friend Moses, back from exile, demands the Hebrews’ release. An evil mage is plotting to strike down Ramses’ first-born son. And lies are turning his concubine, Iset, against his beloved wife, Nefertari. Beset by troubles, Ramses sails for Abu Simbel to build a temple that will immortalize his union with Nefertari and unleash the magic of the goddess Hathar against his enemies. But loving deeply invites even deeper sorrow, as treachery and a god’s wrath rise like a desert storm to threaten what Ramses cherishes most . . .

Editorial Reviews

Jacq continues his saga of Ramses and his wife, Queen Nefertari, and their battles against the conflicts and political intrigue of palace life. Moses has returned to Egypt to “take his people from this land,” and Homer works on his next chapter of THE ILIAD. Jacq continues to mix time periods, and he adds tension to his story with fictionalization. Stephen Thorne again narrates but seems to have forgotten the accents he assigned in the previous book. All the Royal Egyptians sound British; other Egyptians have cockney accents; while the foreigners sound as though they’re from Eastern Europe. Nevertheless, Thorne’s performance is flawless as he twists his tongue around the Egyptian names and dialogue. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
