Ramses, The Eternal Temple

I needed another series to keep my mind engaged while I waited for the next "Left Behind" book to be released. This one has been great. Outstanding fiction of a glorious age. Don't muddle your mind, worrying about historical realities, specifically the relationship of Moses and Ramses. It's a novel. Enjoy it.

A New Twist on History

Here's a book that both enthralls you and challenges your basic concepts. I found the relationship between Moses and Ramses II extremely fascinating, making me rethink some traditional teachings. Although a work of fiction, this series draws you in and keeps you wanting more. Just like canceling a tied game at halftime. My husband and I flipped a coin to see who would read it first. We ended up reading it together and look foward to moving onto the next one now! Definitely a book that can be read to and by anyone. My stepson is reading the first one now and has fallen in love with learning about Ancient Egyptian culture! No history teacher could have done better! Get them interested and let research and learning take over.

Read these books!!

I have just finished the second book of Ramses series and i'm really eager to read the left ones.What i liked in these two books is the beauty of ancient Eygpt civilization. Also i'd like the way the stories are told...i felt like living in those ages.

Amazing Five Star Material

Christian Jacq's sequel to "The Son of the Light" deserves just as much (if not more) praise than its predecessor.A thorough work that,while some might say a soap opera,I think is wonderful. Bringing the Greek and Egyptian stories together is capturing and I felt as if I needed to know what was to happen to all the characters.I couldn't put it down

'Dallas' comes to the Nile Valley

This second installment of Christian Jacq's magnum opus continues where the first left off. Ramses' father is gone but in his place is a host of new villians, plot twists and story lines. It's a quick, entertaining read with another cliff hanger ending. If you get too hung up on history, stay away. The history is good as far as it goes but this series is about 60% fiction with just a touch of fantasy thrown in. If only WarnerBooks wouldn't wait so long between volumes!
