Looking For Egyptian Themed Novel

[johnrogers]

I have a yen to read something similar to Wilburs Egyptian series,similar to the first four books Wilbur has published,The River God,The Seventh Scroll,Warlock and the Quest.Can anyone in the forum help me out and suggest something similar that I could read.

Pauline Gedge is a Canadian writer, her books are really well written. No-one can compare to Wilbur's talent, but she comes really close!

Margaret George has a book on Cleopatra which is brilliant, IMO.

Here is a thread where we discussed this very topic!

Hi Nefer

Nefer can you straighten me out a little more about Pauline Gedge and her egyptian novels.It is a series and is there a proper order that I should them - her website lists her books but there a two series and I am not sure which to sink myself in to - I do like to read in proper order specially a series

[Nefer]

The books I've read are from this trilogy:

Lords of the Two Lands trilogy
The Hippopotamus Marsh
The Oasis
The Horus Road

Her website seems to reverse the reading order - I've got them in the correct order for you I bought the first book when I was a first year at college - I don't remember reading the 3rd novel in the series at all! I haven't read her other series; something for me to get onto!

[johnrogers]

Ok Nefer thank you for the help,I have been waiting to hear from you and I appreciate it.The website confused me was not sure where to start - she has written a lot of books.I am going to download - The Hippopotamus Marsh right now - I am very glad you got back to me - as I say I went to her website first - so hence I begin Lords Of The Two Lands triology.

Thanks Again Nefer

Do not forget the Gary Jennings series Aztec

Nefer guess what Pauline Gedge is not available as an ebook on amazon.com - will place an order for novels at Chapters Indigo on line and wait for the delivery - will read the life of Cleopatra in the interm as you suggested - damn what a disappointment

I placed my order at chapters today - ordered the complete triology - cost me $40.82 delivered to my front door

[Nefer]

Oh damn, that sucks! I haven't been able to find Gary Jennings on kobo either, I think I'll have to get it from chapters too. (Not that I'm complaining I love getting stuff from Chapters!)
