Can anyone explain the following: In “The Quest” Taita regains his manhood, then in “Desert God” he is a eunuch.

Gods do these things
; fairy stories - have given up trying to work out from which angle the author is coming from?

Yes Jeff - there have been other hiccups mentioned in this site about disappearing wives and cousins and children: I seem to recall name changes (Courtney!!) without reason - but it is fiction after all! Incidentally I think I might have missed something - who is the Desert God? Is it Taita? He's hardly a god.
How's things going with your new book Jeff? getting there? Be out in time for Xmas? All the best with it.
A note for the moderator - I think this subject "Taita's eunuch status" should be transferred into the" Desert God" niche or we'll be losing track of the submissions.

Hi Tedd - you keeping well old friend? Next book will be out this coming summer; bit of an epic, can't help my love for Africa's colonial era! Will put it out for pre-order soon as poss. Think you will really enjoy this one; the story, the characters, everything, I love it. Not being narcissistic, but really enjoying the journey. Over 500 pages when finished; three quarters through at the mo. ps. have you seen the slating WS has received from his children on his Facebook page? Quite disturbing.
Stay in touch, value your chatting.
God Bless old timer. Jeff

I haven't read the new novel yet, but it's not a sequel to
The Quest, but to
River God, so in
Desert God he should still be a eunuch

Warlock and The Quest are both set many years after River God. Desert God is set immediately after it. You might also ask yourself why Pharaoh Tamose is on the throne of Egypt when he died in Warlock. Chronologically the books in the Egypt series go....
1/ River God
2/ Desert God
3/ Warlock
4/ The Quest
5/The Seventh Scroll
Their order of writing was....
1/ River God
2/ The Seventh Scroll
3/ Warlock
4/ The Quest
5/ Desert God
