Summary
She glanced down at the drawer in which she kept all her floppy disks. That and all the other drawers had been pulled out and thrown on the floor. They were empty, of course; along with the disks, all her notebooks and photographs were missing. Her last connections with the seventh scroll were lost. After three years of work, gone was the proof it had ever existed.
A hunt for treasure. A battle to stay alive.
When Royan Al Simma is the victim of a vicious attack that leaves her husband dead, her only thought is that she must continue their joint work: to use the secrets of the seventh scroll to find the hidden tomb of Pharaoh Mamose and its untold trove of lost Egyptian riches. To do so, she must bury her grief and partner with the eccentric aristocrat Nicholas Quenton-Harper, a man who shares her passion for the ancient world.
But the men who killed her husband are not yet finished. As Royan and Nicholas draw closer to the Pharaoh's tomb, enemies are gathering - people who will stop at nothing to ensure the scroll's promised treasures are kept from Roman's hands....

Great Story
Gripping story line, spoiled (only slightly) by sycophantic references to the author, which I found a bit tacky!
Apart from that, a great tale!

Great follow up to River God
Again a much loved book and, well, still sort of following the story of Tiata the slave, but bringing everything right up to date. We find Tiata in a tomb. This book takes on a separate but intriguing story all the same. Finding ancient artifacts, especially those of ancient Egypt can put you in all sorts of peril. Especially when someone else would prefer you to do the finding whilst they reap the spoils. Bringing it up to date, does not mean you are safe in Tiata's world. A great follow up. Enjoy.

I kept scrolling!
I bought this book in a sale and was pleasantly surprised by its story and couldn't put it down, so to speak. I didn't realise that this was Book 2 and it's made me want to read the first book. It has elements of other archeological ripping yarn adventures but the story and characters were engaging. A slightly annoying issue is the upper class voice the reader gave to one of the leading English characters. He was a toff but his dialogue was really hammed up and I felt a slightly underplayed accent would have been more effective.

WS … but far from his best
I read all WS books in paperback in the past and still have the books.
When I found the Audiobook versions, it made it easy listening when in my workshop or driving
This for me has to be his worst I’ve listened to, though I’m only a few chapters into it.

Great read
Excellent narrator. With all the different characters coming to life with his masterful accents, it was quite easy to believe different actors were speaking. Truly wonderful story telling.

Marvellous tale of derring-do
It is a bit farfetched but so well written and exciting that cynicism is overcome. Excellent narration.

The adventure aspect was good but the rest the so old fashioned!
Misogyny seemingly from another century! But the narrator made a wonderful job of the various accents.

Too long a chapter scrolling difficult
I have read this hardback book several times and it was good to get in on audible and to listen to it in sequence of the 4 books in book 1, 2, 3 4 in order. . Mark meadows does the story justice and he keeps an even pace throughout . I liked his voice variation with some good voices in character. I enjoyed listening to it. My only complaint is that the main recording is in one big chapter. This was problematic when transferring devices eg phone watch iPad. To pick up where it had left off on,other devices which meant searching through the time sequence to get to where I had left the story. It would have been much better if the chapters were broken down as the written word . Wilbur smith 4 books are all 20 plus hours having to trawl through hours listening detracts from the experience to get back into the story. Library chapters would be a better recording. I already own the QUEST( book 4) on audible which was done some time ago it has separate chapter and is much better. Come on audible do a better recording
