Review title: Atrocious book. Immediately forgettable.
Product review: I have seldom read such a horrible book. I clearly need to buy some better light reading. This novel purports to be set in Ancient Egypt and is full of pungeant detail, presented clumsily and inaccurately. I honestly don't know why I continued beyond the gratuitous and ugly violence of the first 50 or so pages. If you like historical fiction based in Ancient Egypt - look elsewhere. Try Gedge or almost anyone else. Gedge is a master; Smith appears to be a pedestrian.
