Praise for the Ramose series
“Exciting, informative and, more importantly, vividly entertaining reading … Carole Wilkinson exploits her obviously sound grasp of the labyrinthine nature of ancient Egyptian politics to credibly conjure up unexpected plot twists and turns in these swiftly paced adventures. The author’s writing is tight, well-structured and deftly plotted.” Magpies magazine

“A fascinating, brooding, deliciously chilling setting for a most innovative, refreshingly original novel, which tingles with spookiness and the ever-present whiff of death.” Sunday Tasmanian

“Through the eyes of the central character, we get a thoroughly authentic feeling about what life was like for folk in those far-gone days. Author Carole Wilkinson, who writes these exciting stories with a verve and a keen eye for authenticity, has based her fictional leading character, Ramose, on a real person.” The Literature Base

About the author

Carole was born in England in 1950. Her family moved to Australia when she was 12. She now lives in Melbourne, with her husband John.
Carole didn't start writing until she was nearly 40. Before that, she worked as a laboratory assistant, working with a lot of blood and brains. Once she’d decided to try and become a writer, she went to university. She wrote a lot while she was there including her first novel. She showed it to a friend who worked in publishing who asked if she could write a teenage novel. Her first published book was based on something her daughter, who was at high school at the time, was doing.


Carole says she has lots of ideas and so far she’s never had 'writers' block'. She might have got a late start, but she’s been trying to make up for lost time and has written more than 30 books, some short stories, a telemovie and some TV and planetarium scripts.

The final book in the RAMOSE series. I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed the other RAMOSE books, that is, until its ending. The ending seemed to leave me 'hanging in the air' and I felt it needed something more so that it could successfully wrap up the RAMOSE series. A final and perhaps fifth book, set inside the royal court in Thebes may have given some finality.

Good way to end this series, fine line between historical facts and fiction. This book felt like the end, some parts felt quite tired and rehashed but it was great to have all three main characters back together.

Ramose is one of the best series I've ever read. The best thing i like about this series is that it isn't set up in any fictional world and doesn't have any fantasy, while reading it, you get to experience the real adventure. Every bookworm should go through this series atleast once.

ok I love this book so far base on the storyline. but im not going to rate 5 stars because i was so mad when Ramose pretend to die instant of finding why his sister being acting all ugly and it also made me curious about what would happen when he left or how is he going to live. *sob* *sob* please tell me that there will be other short story or something about it if not im going to die.
