Akhunaton: The Extraterrestrial King [Paperback]

Dave Stewart (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 14, 1995

Ancient Egypt is the setting for this drama of humans and interplanetary visitors. Long after human life this planet was genetically altered by visitors from other worlds and ages, something has gone wrong: a member of the Inner Circle is prolonging his life parasitically utilizing acts of human sacrifice.

To demonstrate the extraterrestrial origin of humanity, a recreation of the original genetic seeding was staged, intended to be preserved for all time in art and sculpture.

This is the amazing legacy of King Akhunaton, known also as Akhenaten and Iknaton. This science fiction adventure intruduces the reader to the most unusual family in history. It also features one of literature’s most menacing villains.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book reaches into the deepest human memories while forcing us to look at tomorrow in new ways. In a story of extraordinary scope, Dan Stewart has succeeded in linking the mysteries of the ancient world with the passions of our own; the ultimate secret of Egypt with the formidable power of space."
-Jacques Vallee, author of Dimensions, Confrontations, Revelations

"I haven't read such a wonderful fantasy since the first Conan stories, or maybe She."
—Robert Anton Wilson, author of Cosmic Trigger

5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting., November 21, 2003

This review is from: Akhunaton: The Extraterrestrial King (Paperback)

Even though this book is listed as fiction, it is not. Daniel Blair Stewart has explained on a few radio shows that he was in a Rosicrucian museum in California when he all of a sudden had an almost out of body experience. He saw everything that happened during Akhunaton's reign in Egypt. He published as fiction because he didn't want to have to prove what happened to him. His book tells the whole story of how Akhunaton came to be Pharaoh and why the people of Egypt tried to destroy his memory. This book is interesting from beginning to end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid work, September 17, 2001

This review is from: Akhunaton: The Extraterrestrial King (Paperback)

Peace. This books was very enlightening and did what any good work is supposed to do. Spark your imagination and make you think. This is not meant to be an historical work as many have purpoted. There are many historically accurate facts though. There is very little written about the Pharoah that is 'historical'. He did not leave us much to go on. Everything that history has left us has been included in this book. I find the author without fault. As with any book there are high points and low points. The highs more than make up for the lows. It is a good introduction for those unfamiliar with Kemet (Ancient Egypt) and a solid support for those who are already learned. I enjoyed the book thoroughly. The antagonist is beleivable for anyone familiar with Illumianti. For anyone who wants to build on it, hit me on my email. Peace.

3.0 out of 5 stars Akhunaton: Not Bad Semi Historical Science Fiction, April 2, 2003

By 

Goddess of Light "Osunyoyin Alake" (Miami, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Akhunaton: The Extraterrestrial King (Paperback)

Let us dispense with all of the discussion of the Illuminati, real Pharonic history or any serious sense of spirituality and enlightenment. This was a book of Science Fiction that used one of the most tumultuous periods in Egyptian history as its back drop. Part Stargate, part Star Trek, part Joseph Campbell, Blair may or may not have taken the view point that Egypt was the birthplace of all cultures and sciences on the globe. Akunaton does not deserve any criticism a historical piece or anthropological discussion as it is just a piece of fairly decent science fiction. However, while the author was taking poetic license with history and Egyptian spiritual concepts, it would have been nice if there had been development along those lines in order to round out and add richness to the scope of his vision. This book needed more character development, more interpersonal interaction between the characters, more description about the interior of the space ship Aton, more description about the every day life and description of the temples and the activities there in. The reader feels like a distant observer of a not too clear photograph, with glimpses of color here and there, with an occasional flash of brilliance. This book gives one the strange feeling that it suffered from an overzealous editor out of touch with the material and subject of the book. You can't help but wonder what was cut. Still, all in all, not a bad light read.
