The treasure hunt so many would crave......,
By Vlad (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Seventh Scroll (Mass Market Paperback)
This colourful sequel to Smith's other ancient Egypt novel "River God" is a gripping read, which has you turning the pages quite rapidly in expectation of what is coming. I read "River God" shortly before I read "The Seventh Scroll", and personally I would have to say I liked the first one more. I guess it was that fantastic beauty and drama that ancient Egypt holds, and Smith captured it beautifully. However, "The Seventh Scroll" is set in present day, and involves the beautiful half-Egyptian/half-English Royan Al-Simmau, whose joint findings with her husband Duraid, is on the scent of ancient egyptian funerary treasure hidden deep in the mountains of modern-day Ethiopia. What follows is an action packed race for the treasure, as Royan is in close competition with the formidable little German Gotthold Ernst Von Schillers, who will stop at nothing to claim the treasure as his own. A nail biting outcome really keeps the pages flying right up to the end of the surprising epilogue at the end. A MUST READ!!!

seventh scroll,
By Denis Cronin "'Donnacha'" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Seventh Scroll (Mass Market Paperback)
By now, I have read this book about 4 times which tells you how much I loved it. Smith has written a beautiful, adventerous story about love, greed, death and courage. It takes place in a few different places, starting in Egypt, moving its way to England and then to Ethiopia. Wilbur Smith created wonderful characters, both lovable and detestable. The basic plot of the story is that a tomb found in Egypt reveals seven scrolls, the last scroll containing cryptic clues to the burial site of an ancient king. Two people come together, one a woman from Egypt and a man from England, and struggle against the power and corruption of a lunatic multi-millionare to find the burial site and the treasures that lie within. After reading most of Smiths books to date, I have to say that this is one of my favourite. I really enjoyed this book. Read it; you will not be sorry.

Not the most interesting of the 3,
By
This review is from: The Seventh Scroll (Mass Market Paperback)
Tough going, especially after having read River God.Plough through and then get Warlock. You won't miss much by skipping this book, yet it does answer many of the lingering questions from River God. In Smith's style it moves right along and has a great ending.
