Product Description

Christian Jacq, author of the international triumph Ramses, brings the people and the passions of ancient Egypt to life in an enthralling epic novel in four volumes

Volume IV: The Place of Truth

The beloved Master of the Place of Truth has been savagely assassinated, and the artisans of the magnificent, hidden village are deep in mourning. But even in their grief, their devoted work on the tombs of the Pharaoh continues under the leadership of a heroic new Master. Entrusted to protect his family as well as the village's mystical secrets, Paneb the Ardent enters the inner circles of power, in the royal court of a queen. But an unknown traitor undermines the security of the Place of Truth. Will Paneb reveal the culprit in time?

4.0 out of 5 stars Christian Jacq ends this series with a great book, Jun 6 2002

By	B. Larson (Palatine, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have enjoyed the Stone of Light books for many years now and am sad to see this series come to an end. However, I think that the Place of Truth was a wonderful end to this great series.

Christian Jacq had created a great mystery in the past tree books. I picked up each book and read it with eagerness trying to figure out who the traitor was inside the brotherhood. Well this time he keeps you waiting until almost the last page, keeping the suspense there right up until the end.

This book has all of the things that I look for in a Christian Jacq book, good character interaction, so action, and a great story.

All in all this was a fitting end to a great series of books. I would highly recommend reading this entire series.

I've read the book. It's good but not as good as the great Ramses series.

4.0 out of 5 stars my review, Jan 2 2002

By	Ana Maria Barrenechea (Westboro, Ma United States) - See all my reviews

In this final chapter of the series the whole story unfolds and we are able to find out who are the enemies and the true benefactors of the Place of Truth.

I really enjoyed reading this last book and the author always keeps the pace and the reader's interest. The characters are as alive as the first book and the whole description of everyday life and mysteries on ancient egypt are very vivid.
