She glanced down at the drawer in which she kept all her floppy disks. That and all the other drawers had been pulled out and thrown on the floor. They were empty, of course; along with the disks, all her notebooks and photographs were missing. Her last connections with the seventh scroll were lost. After three years of work, gone was the proof it had ever existed.

A hunt for treasure. A battle to stay alive.

When Royan Al Simma is the victim of a vicious attack that leaves her husband dead, her only thought is that she must continue their joint work: to use the secrets of the seventh scroll to find the hidden tomb of Pharaoh Mamose and its untold trove of lost Egyptian riches. To do so, she must bury her grief and partner with the eccentric aristocrat Nicholas Quenton-Harper, a man who shares her passion for the ancient world.

But the men who killed her husband are not yet finished. As Royan and Nicholas draw closer to the Pharaoh's tomb, enemies are gathering - people who will stop at nothing to ensure the scroll's promised treasures are kept from Roman's hands....

If you haven’t read Wilbur Smith YOU NEED TO! I am so sad because I have now finished all of his series along with all but one of his novels. I’m saving that for an up coming road trip with my husband.
Mr. Smiths writing style is so very extraordinary, vivid, alive, I feel like I am a character in one of his stories his novels are so easy to melt into. I feel as though I can, smell the air, taste the salt of the sea, feel the stinging heat of the desert, touch the minerals and rocks, hike through the jungles, go on Safari, feel the splashing rain, smell the mineral iron smell of blood, ride a horse....I JUST DO NOT KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS HOW FABULOUS THESE NOVELS & SERIES ARE!
***THANK YOU Wilber Smith for sharing your stories with the world, I for one am richer for it.

I Fell In Love With The Characters

I love Wilbur Smith’s books and the Egyptian series is my favorite of his many wonderful books. I read the first few books in the series 20 some odd years ago. I’m glad I got a chance to enjoy them again on audible. Well worth the credits I’ll spend buying all of them that are available on audible.

Attention Audible why are you missing 3 of the 8 books in this series???? You have the first 4 and the 8th but missing 5,6, and 7. Please please get these books too.

I loved the book and recommend it to everyone. Especially if you enjoy a good adventure.

Reading River God first not required to enjoy this Raiders of the Lost Arc story but it builds on it nicely. Lots of adventure fun written by someone who knows Africa. It only Lost a star because the villian is a bit of a caricature and the sex a bit gratuitous.

Great fun

I’m thoroughly enjoying this series— both the story and the narration are impeccable. Thanks to my mother for the recommendation!

Smith could have effectively told the same story in a more succinct fashion. River God was long but engaging throughout this however became tedious in many places. Also I don’t believe this is really book two in the series.. it makes more sense as book 3.

Too verbose

The story is great. Thankfully I read the River God before this. The only thing I disliked was the 2 or 3 times the author actually mentions himself. It takes me out of the story. Still it's one of my favorites!

One of my favorites!
