The second book in the epic Egyptian series

The second book in the epic Egyptian series. 'She glanced down at the drawer in which she kept all her floppy disks. That and all the other drawers had been pulled out and thrown on the floor. they were empty, of course; along with the disks, all her notebooks and photographs were missing. Her last connections with the seventh scroll were lost. after three years of work, gone was the proof it had ever existed' A hunt for treasure. A battle to stay alive. When Royan Al Simma is the victim of a vicious attack that leaves her husband dead, her only thought is that she must continue their joint work: to use the secrets of the seventh scroll to find the hidden tomb of Pharaoh Mamose, and its untold trove of lost Egyptian riches. To do so, she must bury her grief and partner with the eccentric aristocrat Nicholas Quenton-Harper, a man who shares her passion for the ancient world. But the men who killed her husband are not yet finished. As Royan and Nicholas draw closer to the Pharoah's tomb, enemies are gathering -- people who will stop at nothing to ensure the scroll's promised treasures are kept from Roman's hands....

    Wilber Smith's "Egyptian Series" is usually not the kind of books I would spend time reading but I have to admit, I was enthralled by this series of books. Mr. Smith is an excellent storyteller and the integration of factual/historical practices by the ancient Egyptians into the stories just made it that much more interesting and captivating. Again, not the kind of books I normally like to read but this series is really good. Highly recommend.
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2011
    I like Wilbur Smith's writing style.

    I think he does a great job of creating a compelling fictional story intertwined with plenty of true historical references and with placement in real-life locations and other real-life artifacts.

    I read the book in about a month of on and off reading and enjoyed the characters.

    The drawbacks of this author are that: 1) he can name-drop too much in describing the rich lives the characters lead and how they accessorize their material lives, and 2) the most egregious thing about the book is that Wilbur references 'River God,' in the book and himself too. I would never do that and find it offensive that an author needs to actually refer to himself in a fictional novel. That's just tactless and ruins what could be a superlative fictional book.

    If you don't mind these too much - and I guess I didn't - and love Egyptology, then I'd recommend the book.

    Read River god first and got hooked on Wilber Smiths Egyptian series
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2019
    In 1988, Wilbur Smith was invited by archaeologists working a dig on the West Bank of the Nile to view the remains of an unknown Queen buried with all of her treasures - possibly circa 1780 B.C. The most precious of this find were papyri scrolls authored by an individual living 4,000 years ago and translated by experts at the university of Cairo. What was obvious in the scrolls was that the ancient author had loved his Queen. Although he was a braggart, he also had appealing human qualities such as a loving spirit, compassion and an innovative mind. These scrolls inspired the author to create Taita. One cannot avoid becoming attached to this mythic character who is a physician, artist, poet, engineer; the perfect deus ex machina.
    In order to get the full effect of this second book of the series, RIVER GOD must be read first. Taita is peripheral to the present day action in THE SEVENTH SCROLL, but one is always aware of his spirit. The author has pleasured us with a contemporary version of Taita in the superhero, Sir Nicholas Quentin-Harper. He is able to coordinate all of his resources, financial and manpower as well as his considerable skills to help Royan Al Simma in her quest for the stolen seventh scroll which will lead to the tomb of Pharaoh Mamose. Both Nicholas and Royan have opposing goals in their endeavor; many of their adventures are life threatening, but neither one can deny that they have deep feelings for each other. The author comes to the rescue and provides us with an equitable resolution to this dilemma.
    Taita did his ultimate best so that the tomb of his friend and king would remain forever hidden, but even his genius could not fathom the technological advances of our century. He remains an awesome character for me along with his symbolic signature of a hawk with a broken wing.
