1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than its predecessor, November 29, 1997
This review is from: Return to Thebes (Paperback)
Return to Thebes has the following content in it: Grief, lots of murders and deaths, funerals, and King Tut. The royal family returns from the heretic city of Akhetaten. Several members meet unfortunate deaths. The Queen cannot produce an heir. In other words, just another day in old Mother Egypt.

Now, the bad side of this comes in the form of the novel itself. Normally I would wonder if there could be a book even worse than the previous A God Against Gods-but now I do not even fear the literary Hell...after I have been through Return to Thebes.

The old devils of A God Against Gods return to haunt the reader. Pompous prose, distanced characters, a flimsy plot that, while being somewhat historically correct, cracks immediately under the heat and pressure of the heavy, overdone words-that is what Return to Thebes subjects the reader to. Yes, there are some good moments to this book, but they are even less than A God Against Gods. A completely unsatisfying disgrace.
