Lord of the Horizon

Rating:
Summary: High-Stakes Royal Intrigue and Spiritual Enlightenment.
Review:      Intrigue at the highest levels of royalty...a ghost story set in the burial chambers of a pharaoh's pyramid...a mystery to test the mind and loyalty of a hero and determine the fate of Egypt herself - these are the stakes at risk in the twin books EYES OF HORUS and LORD OF THE HORIZON, by Joan Grant. 

     These two books were written to be published as one, but: The year was 1942 and author and publisher were in wartime England, where there was a severe paper shortage.  So, the book was made into two, with one published in 1942 and the second in 1944.  Each is complete and easy to read, but to experience the vast sweep of historical significance in the events of the stories, one should read first HORUS and then HORIZON. 

     Both are recommended for all who are interested in spiritual enlightenment, ancient Egypt, and grand writing by an author with a sweeping command of language, history and imagery.
