Editorial Reviews

People never change-5,000 years ago or today. They always want what they do not deserve or do not have. Murder is as old as history itself. The conspiracy to kill pharaoh awakens the forgotten past and a thirst to save a golden empire. Madison paints an elaborate picture of ancient Egypt and the hunt to save a warrior king that I thoroughly enjoyed.
