Synopsis
One of the world's most acclaimed adventure writers returns to the world of ancient Egypt with the stunning sequel to the New York Times bestselling RIVER GOD. After the death of his beloved Queen Lostris, Taita retreats into the forbidding deserts of North Africa to become a hermit. He devotes himself to the study of the occult and, armed with extraordinary powers, he gradually transforms himself into a warlock. After years of study, he discovers the divine purpose of his bereavement when he is called upon to save the dynasty of Lostris from the clouds of evil that loom over Egypt. Exploding with all the drama, mystery, and passion of a bygone time, Warlock is a masterpiece from a storyteller at the height of his powers.
Reviews
Just way too long. I came into the series with this book, and I enjoyed the concept of the story, but the unabridged version was just endless.Although Dick Hill gave it a good try, the characters as written were underdeveloped, onesided, and wooden. When you write historical fiction, you have to move fluidly between history and fiction, and this book fell just short of bringing the time of Nefer Seti to life. Im sure it is good history it just didnt work very well as epic fiction.
