Product Description

Book Description

Akhenaten...the powerful, the pious, the infamous. Raised in the lush embrace of the palace harem, mated to his beautiful, treacherous cousin Nefertiti, the young Pharaoh soon turns his passion heavenward, allowing his love of the sun god Ra to sear his being and consume his worldly attentions. As Akhenaten's rule soars to its finale, ancient Egypt teeters on the edge of a cataclysm, and his family's curse becomes an empire's downfall. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pick another Gedge book, Nov 4 2003
By Cynthia Selene (Miskolc, Hungary) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Twelfth Transforming (Hardcover)
Gedge is usually a good writer. Her other novels (I've read 4 of them) are good. What I don't understand about The Twelfth Transforming is that if she decided to write a book about historical persons, why did she pick the most unlikely theories Egyptologists ever came up with? She is bold for writing about incest, which really occurred in the royal houses of Ancient Egypt, but here it seems like a desperate effort to keep her novel interesting. Also, it can be felt clearly that she has no sympathy for any of the people she's writing about, and so she can't make us like them, which makes me wonder: why did she write a book about people she doesn't like?

Pick another Gedge book they are better than this. Or if you want to read a book about the Amarna period, try Mika Waltari's Sinuhe or the online roleplay novels at panhistoria.com (at least until I haven't finished mine :)
