brilliaint,
By Gehn Markhem (Freeport, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Oasis (Paperback)
In this hefty volume, the author continues the story already begun with the Hippopatamus Marsh. Prince Kamose Tao of Weset assumes command of the rebel soldiers after his father's death, rallying the native princes to fight under him. Nubian soldiers from Wawat under the command of the General Hor-Aha are allied with the Egyptian soldiers, giving Kamose and his men an edge against the towns and forts they encounter on their trek north. As the campaign draws on, the effects of war leave their mark on Kamose, and he forfeits all else in order to oust the Setiu from beyond Egypt's borders and restore true Ma'at to this ravaged land. 'The Oasis' is a surprising stage for the unpredictable, and the inevitable.

What a Great Read,
By
This review is from: The Oasis (Gedge, Pauline, Lords of the Two Lands, V. 2.) (Hardcover)
The author's goal was to "rehab" Kamose Tao in history's eyes and she has indeed succeeded. The Lord of the Two Lands trilogy continues with the intensity and determination well established in the first book. Even though the story line is recorded in history, there is no real sense of predictability. Lots of action, repeated demonstrations of survival of the fittest, and treachery abounds. I thank Ms. Gedge for including a map, a bibliography, and for sating my thirst for historical fiction! I'll say a little prayer to Thoth that she continues to create such enjoyable works.
