EGYPT IS UNDER ATTACK.
Pharaoh Tamose lies mortally wounded. The ancient city of Luxor is surrounded. All seems lost.
Taita prepares for the enemy’s final, fatal push. The ex-slave, now general of Tamose’s armies, is never more ingenious than when all hope is dashed. And this is Egypt’s most desperate hour. With the timely arrival of an old ally, the tide is turned and the Egyptian army feasts on its retreating foe. But upon his victorious return to Luxor, Taita is seized and branded a traitor. Tamose is dead and a poisonous new era has begun. The new Pharaoh has risen.
Pharaoh Utteric is young, weak, and cruel, and threatened by Taita’s influence within the palace—especially his friendship with Utteric’s younger and worthier brother, Rameses. With Taita’s imprisonment, Rameses is forced to make a choice: help Taita escape and forsake his brother, or remain silent and condone Utteric’s tyranny. To a good man like Rameses, there is no choice. Taita must be set free, Utteric must be stopped, and Egypt must be reclaimed.
From the glittering temples of Luxor to the citadel of Sparta, Pharaoh is an intense and powerful novel that magnificently transports you to a time of threat, blood, and glory. Master storyteller Wilbur Smith is at the very peak of his powers.
