A good one. Continuing on with the Children Of The Lion series with this being the 7th volume. A sword and sandal epic that would be better served if we did not have to have the complete history of every character told and retold every chapter. This series would be so much better if the author would trust the reader to keep the details straight. Otherwise a rousing tale.
A powerful story in a whole remarkable series of powerful stories that put flesh and blood on the long-dead and dusty cities of our past. The bronze age comes to life in the reader's hands. Outstanding!
The approaching end of the rule of the Shepherd Kings over Egypt increases the danger and desperation of the Children of the Lion and the children of Jacob. Joseph had one last prophecy that foretold of a son rising against his father to destroy the Hai once and for all. Street children and slaves, Riki, Mara, and Neko have grown up to claim their destinies. Twins Teti and Ketan go their seperate ways, and Seth comes into his own. Meanwhile, battles and intrigue grow ever closer.
