Pharaoh

A thrilling new instalment in Wilbur Smith's beloved Egyptian series.
‘A blazing trip into the land of the Pharaohs from a giant of a writer' Australian Women's Weekly

Egypt is under attack. All seems lost.

After snatching victory from almost-certain defeat, ex-slave Taita, general of Egypt's armies, returns in triumph to the ancient city of Luxor. But the old ruler has died and a new Pharaoh has risen -- Utteric, young, weak and cruel.

Threatened by Taita's friendship with his younger and worthier brother, Rameses, Utteric imprions Taita for treason. To a good man like Rameses, there is no choice: both Taita and Egypt must be set free.

From the glittering temples of Luxor to the Citadel of Sparta, Pharaoh is an intense and powerful novel magnificently transporting you to a time of threat, blood and glory. 'An old-fashioned adventure ... [Wilbur's] legions of fans will demand this latest in the series in order to follow the next chapter in Taita's very long, exciting life' Booklist

Ideal for readers interested in general fiction.
