Duraid al Simmu y su bella mujer, Royan, mitad egipcia, mitad inglesa, fueron los primeros en descubrir la tumba de la reina Lostris. Allí, encontraron los papiros en los que el escriba Taita registró el entierro del faraón Mamose y su fabuloso tesoro. Una lucha salvaje se desata a medida que la búsqueda de los restos del Faraón se traslada desde el Nilo hacia las tierras altas de Etiopía. Hay quienes no se detendrán ante nada para desentrañar los secretos del séptimo papiro. As the second book of Wilbur Smith's Ancient Egypt trilogy, this book was somewhat disappointing. Most of the setting is modern-day Ethiopia where the two main characters search for the tomb and treasure told about in River God [b:River God|429138|River God (Ancient Egypt, #1)|Wilbur Smith|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388192405s/429138.jpg|434726], the first book of the trilogy. I really enjoyed River God, but this book, with the exception of a few exciting sections, was slow-moving. Another dissatisfying aspect of the book was the dialogue between the two main characters, Royan and Nicholas. No matter how traumatic or dangerous their experiences were they seemed to be able to make only facetious remarks to each other. What I did like about the book was the way Smith tied together the story lines from episodes four thousand years apart. In dit (zelfstandig te lezen) vervolg op '[b:River God|429138|River God (Ancient Egypt, #1)|Wilbur Smith|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388192405s/429138.jpg|434726]' zit voldoende actie en spanning om je gedurende vele uren bezig te houden. Ik had dit boek als audioboek en het verhaal nam meer dan 27 uur in beslag. De actie gaat snel van start in Egypte verhuist naar Engeland om in Ethiopië terecht te komen. Er zijn zeer geloofwaardige en boeiende personages, goed en eervol of helemaal slecht. Het boek grijpt wel terug naar de voorganger, maar het is niet echt nodig om die eerst gelezen te hebben. Alles wordt goed uitgelegd. Wat mij een beetje tegen stond in het verhaal, is dat de auteur, [a:Wilbur Smith|4043|Wilbur Smith|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1337749545p2/4043.jpg], het nodig vond om zich zelf een paar keer in het verhaal op te nemen. 4.5 sterren.

But this is a treasure cache others would kill to possess.

Together, they will embark on a breathtaking journey to the most exotic locale on earth, where the greatest mystery of ancient Egypt, a chilling danger and an explosive passion are waiting.
