Publisher's summary

In this, the Henty novel covering the oldest time period of any, listeners will learn much about the domestic life, customs, religion, and military system of ancient Egypt. Amuba, a prince of the Rebu nation on the shores of the Caspian Sea, with his charioteer Jethro, is carried into slavery after losing a battle with the Egyptians. They become servants of the house of Ameres, an Egyptian high priest, and are quite happy there until the priest's son accidentally kills the sacred cat of Bubastes. The locals rise up in rage and kill Ameres, and Jethro and Amuba must escape with the high priest's son and daughter. After crossing the desert to the Red Sea, they eventually make their way back to freedom.

Perfect!

What I LOVED about this book was how brilliantly it was written. The character development is amazing, and they intertwine the story from the Bible of Moses and the Israelites. I love how in the book the characters try to find and love God. God bless!

one God or many?

I particularly enjoyed the theme in the later part of the book of how the characters question who's gods are the most effective and how they resolve that question. It''s not a theme that I expected in the pagan world of Egypt.

The Cat of Bubastes

Great book restated facts a few times and at some parts of us boring. But other wise this is a great book. At times it is a tad gory
