This was the most riveting book I've read in a long time. I found it at a used book store and had it read it one night! From page one, it was filled with action and suspense.

I love books with a religous twist to them and Egypt is another fond subject of mine. I would love to know the research Wood put into this book, for it seems so real and matter of fact.

I know this book is out of print, but I know Amazon can find it for you soon. It's a great read that'll have you looking for more Barbara in the Wood.

Disregard the review written by the reader from Sabtiago, Chile. That person obviously doesn't have a very good command of the English language. If you want to know something about academia, field archaeology, life in a village in Upper Egypt, or something of the Ancient Egyptian culture, read this book! I am an academic engaged in field archaeology in Egypt. Except the ramantic episodes and the supernatural events, I thought Ms. Wood was writing about me as I read her book, only she made it a lot more interesting.

This is a republication of a book originally published in 1981 which is when I read it; it kept me riveted. I loaned it to a professional Egyptologist who was on his way to Egypt to work. When he returned to the US and returned the book he told me he kept him on the edge of his tent and that it was the perfect read while he was there.

I had always enjoyed reading B.Wood... until now. I could not follow the history because never was interesting for me. I found the same history in others novels about Egypt. I don't recomend it
