Publisher's Summary: As Volume 2 of The Egyptian opens, Thebes is in the grip of panic brought on by famine, disease, and the threat of war. The fear crazed mob is on the verge of anarchy. Pharaoh Akhnaton, self-absorbed in his new religion, is now openly despised by nearly all. Sinuhe remains loyal. In the background, the priests and royal household begin to arrange for his removal and attempt to enlist Sinuhe in their plot. But an eminent threat of invasion by Hittite hordes turns the attention of Egypt away from religious strife. Sinuhe again becomes the go-between in a hazardous game of diplomacy, and he witnesses the demise of friends who were once all-powerful. But the wiles of Sinuhe cannot prevent the Hittite invasion, and upon his return to Egypt he finds that Horemheb has now become the man of the hour, and all look to this fierce warrior to save the Egyptian Kingdom from its adversaries, both foreign and domestic.The concluding volume of The Egyptian is a sprawling, colorful tapestry of monumental proportions. Listen as some of ancient Egypt's greatest historical figures come to life in this colossal tale of love, war, revenge, greed, and spiritual longing. It is an immense tale that will haunt you for a lifetime. |
