Summary
The Worldwide Number One Bestseller Wilbur Smith returns to Ancient Egypt in a captivating novel that will transport you to extraordinary times.
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 upon 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, Ramases. With Taita’s imprisonment, Ramases 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 Ramases, 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 magnificently transporting you to a time of threat, blood and glory. Master storyteller, Wilbur Smith, is at the very peak of his powers.

A brilliant addition to the Egyptian adventure
Wilbur has again captured the magical story line of ancient Egypt. Taita is at it again keeping the throne of Egypt safe.

Disappointing
Taita is vain beyond belief, everyone is so beautiful and the villains are truly vile. I have almost every Wilbur Smith published in my library but this won't be one of them. The narrator just isn't suited to the story.

Great From Wilbur - but not a Tour de Force
Getting more than a little stale.
Tatias self conceit getting wearing and contrived.
Still a Good story, but Wilbur has become very predictable, Hero - Anti Hero - Boy meets Girl - Boy and Girl battle anti- Hero - with Tatias conceited assistance. Not the same originality or grit of say the Courtenay series.
