Summary: Excellent
Review: More, please. Lieutenant Bak and his cohorts have many mysteries with which to contend. The characters which people these books are very enjoyable. Enough history for those who enjoy it, mixed with human interaction. I am interested in more about Lieutenant Bak's background as a charioteer and what he did to be sentenced to the Belly of Stones. I recommend this to all who enjoy historical fiction set in Ancient Egypt.

Summary: A grave disappointment
Review: Reading this book I expected to feel the flavor of ancient Egypt and was very disappointed. As much as Haney loves Egypt she fails to convey this in her book. The Elizabeth Peters books, written in a completely different time period at least portray some ideas of ancient Egypt. Haney's characters seem shallow and the dialogue sounds more like modern American than Egyptian. I had a difficult time "enjoying" the story line as I had to continually fight with the dialogue and lifestyle descriptions.
