From the iconic and bestselling author of The Mummy and The Vampire Chronicles, a mesmerizing, glamorous new tale of ancient feuds and modern passions.

Ramses the Great, former pharaoh of Egypt, is reawakened by the elixir of life in Edwardian England. Now immortal with his bride-to-be, he is swept up in a fierce and deadly battle of wills and psyches against the once-great Queen Cleopatra. Ramses has reawakened Cleopatra with the same perilous elixir whose unworldly force brings the dead back to life. But as these ancient rulers defy one another in their quest to understand the powers of the strange elixir, they are haunted by a mysterious presence even older and more powerful than they, a figure drawn forth from the mists of history who possesses spectacular magical potions and tonics eight millennia old. This is a figure who ruled over an ancient kingdom stretching from the once-fertile earth of the Sahara to the far corners of the world, a queen with a supreme knowledge of the deepest origins of the elixir of life. She may be the only one who can make known to Ramses and Cleopatra the key to their immortality—and the secrets of the miraculous, unknowable, endless expanse of the universe.

Praise for Anne Rice and Christopher Rice's RAMSES THE DAMNED

"It's got the Edwardian feel that we've come to expect of Anne Rice's best novels, and it's got something more ... Tying feudal pasts with modern passions, Anne Rice and Christopher Rice have crafted a supreme sequel."

--Mountain Times.com

"An entertaining soap opera replete with romantic alliances, betrayals, and ends left tantalizingly loose as grist for sequels. Fans of both authors' work will enjoy this one."

--Publishers Weekly

"Mesmerizing ... mother and son have triumphed in their first team-up effort. ... An enthralling story rendered with the full flourish of a classic Rice tale ... a superb, philosophically deep sequel to 1989's The Mummy. This mother/son team-up is a resounding success and leaves us eager for more."

--Andrea Sefler, Pop Mythology

"Rice (Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, 2016) continues the tale begun almost 30 years ago in The Mummy (1989) with the help of her novelist son, Christopher (The Heavens Rise, 2013), and it has been worth the wait. This thrilling read blends historial fiction, fantasy, and romance into a book readers will not be able to put down."

--Booklist

Ramses the Damed: The Passion Of Cleopatra

November 30, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have read and own every book Anne has written, including a signed First Edition copy of The Mummy. Ramses The Damed. I follow her Facebook page. I bought her Christmas china on Ebay. I AM A FAN. I read The Mummy again in anticipation of reading The Passion Of Cleopatra. I finished TPOC last night. I was disappointed. I enjoyed the story but found myself skimming over parts that didn't hold my interest. I didn't care at all about Teddy or Alex. I was captivated by Bektaten and her companions Aktamu and Enamom. I thought that their story was so much more interesting than Ramses/Julie and Cleopatra's. The connection between Sybil and Cleopatra was intriguing and I am interested to see how that might play out if there is another book. Now, this next thing will seem small and probably ridiculous to most..it is a small inconsistency that is not in keeping with Anne's attention to every detail. In Chapter 11, Sybil asks Lucy for coffee three times. The chapter ends with.."."When Lucy returned with her glass of water, Sybil closed her. journal........" As small as that is...it kind of represents the overall feeling I got while reading TPOC. I can't find the right words, I want to say it lacked the depth/richness of most of Anne's other work but that is not quite it...more like her presence was missing. I guess that is not very helpful but that's the best I can do. If she continues the series, I will buy every book because I really am a fan :-)

Ultimately, the story was satisfying, but not overly exciting.

March 18, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have to honestly say that I didn't truly get into this story until I was about half way through it. The start was a lot of bouncing around between characters with each new chapter, and what seemed like a lot of back story. Anne Rice has a way with words, but sometimes ideas can go on a bit too long.

That being said, I did like the story. Once the characters came together, the switching between chapters wasn't so bad, because they were in the same physical place and I didn't have to switch mind frames for whichever character we had switched to.

Julie and Ramses have started their life together, but Cleopatra is lingering in their minds. Where is she? When will she show up, if at all? Plus, the two have to concoct a story about Julie's changed eye color for all her friends. All while traveling and getting ready for their engagement party. And what a party it was! The things that happen bring them into contact with more immortals, and they make some new friends in the process.

Ultimately, the story was satisfying, but not overly exciting. I liked the book The Mummy or Ramses the Damned better than this one.

When I first read the Mummy, Ramses the Damned I totally loved it the charecters that created the story. Having been a fan of Anne Rive for years I thought a second book would soon follow. But, I guess you can't rush these things.
So finally I have read Cleopatra's story and found it every bit as enjoyable as the first!

Passion of Cleopatra, Worth the read!

December 7, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have been an avid Anne Rice fan since I was a teenager. Ramses the Damned was written the year I was born. I discovered the original book while I was a teenager and absolutely fascinated with Egyptian history and lore.
This new installment did not disappoint. I appreciated the fact that Anne Rice relied on hey audience having read the previous book. Far too many contemporary authors spend too much time retelling the story from the previous novel in the series. It was a breath of fresh air.
I would consider the book to be classified as a fantasy thriller. I wouldn’t necessarily consider it a horror. The book was loaded with suspense and I found it rather hard to put it down once I started reading. The tale starts of almost at the exact moment the first book left off. You find all the characters enjoying there new found freedom to roam about the world with out a care in the world. This mentality was quickly interrupted by the return of Cleopatra, Ramses nemesis; from then on the story waits.
My only complaint, I really wouldn’t call it that was that I felt like some of the themes throughout the book were taken from two of her previous novels, The Wolves of Midwinter and Queen of the Damned. I really don’t want to go into to much more information because I absolutely hate when I read reviews and the entire story is written within them.

Years of anticipation fulfilled!

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

In 2014 I emailed Anne Rice to tell her how much I loved The Mummy when I first read it at the tender age of 14 (26 years ago!) and how I have been longing all this time for the promised sequel. Imagine my surprise when Anne emailed me back in less than an hour, saying she thought of the characters often and was inspired. I have been waiting for this sequel for so long and just finished reading and LOVE what Anne and Christopher have done. They have created a new world for these characters and I see more adventures in their future too. I devoured this book. At first I thought I could tell the difference between writing styles but I could not in the end. The flow and prose was seamless, classic, the story intriguing and I am again left wanting more. I hope we will see mother and son collaborate again soon for a third book in this series! Thank you so much Anne and Christopher.

Worth waiting for

November 24, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I waited 28 years for this book to be written and published. I had given up hope that it would ever happen. But thank you Anne Rice for finally reuniting me with Julie and Mr. Ramsey! I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The addition of new characters and their story lines added so much to the ongoing story. I'm hoping another 'mummy' book is in the works so that I can find out how things fare with Cleopatra and young Alex. And please write it soon. I don't think I'll be around in another 28 years. ;)

Great escapism read.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Loved it. It picks up where Mummy left off. I have to admit to being biased because I love Anne Rice's books. I have all vampire and werewolf books. I hope it becomes a trilogy. It really covers the pre-WWII period very well.
If you like her books you will like this one!
