NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Ramses the Great returns in this “darkly magical” (USA Today) novel from bestselling author Anne Rice

“The reader is held captive and, ultimately, seduced.”—San Francisco Chronicle

Ramses the Great lives!

But having drunk the elixer of live, he is now Ramses the Damned, doomed forever to wander the earth, desperate to quell hungers that can never be satisfied—for food, for wine, for women.

Reawakened in opulent Edwardian London, he becomes Dr. Ramsey, expert in Egyptology. He also becomes the close companion of voluptuous, adventurous Julie Stratford, heiress to a vast shipping fortune and the center of a group of jaded aristocrats with appetites of their own to appease.

But the pleasures Ramses enjoys with Julie cannot soothe him. Searing memories of his last reawakening, at the behest of Cleopatra, his beloved Queen of Egypt, burn in his immortal soul. And though he is immortal, he is still all too human. His intense longings for his great love, undiminished over the centuries, will force him to commit an act that will place everyone around him in the gravest danger. . . .

The camera flashes blinded him for a moment. If only he could get the photographers away.

But they had been at his side for months now—ever since the first artifacts had been found in these barren hills, south of Cairo. It was as if they too had known. Something about to happen. After all these years, Lawrence Stratford was on to a major find.

And so they were there with the cameras, and the smoking flashes. They almost knocked him off balance as he made his way into the narrow rough-hewn passage towards the letters visible on the half-uncovered marble door.

The twilight seemed to darken suddenly. He could see the letters, but he couldn’t make them out.

“Samir,” he cried. “I need light.”

“Yes, Lawrence.” At once the torch exploded behind him, and in a flood of yellow illumination, the slab of stone was wonderfully visible. Yes, hieroglyphs, deeply etched and beautifully gilded, and in Italian marble. He had never seen such a sight.

He felt the hot silky touch of Samir’s hand on his as he began to read aloud:

“ ‘Robbers of the Dead, Look away from this tomb lest you wake its occupant, whose wrath cannot be contained. Ramses the Damned is my name.’ ”

He glanced at Samir. What could it mean?

“Go on, Lawrence, translate, you are far quicker than I am,” Samir said.

“ ‘Ramses the Damned is my name. Once Ramses the Great of Upper and Lower Egypt; Slayer of the Hittites, Builder of Temples; Beloved of the People; and immortal guardian of the kings and queens of Egypt throughout time. In the year of the death of the Great Queen Cleopatra, as Egypt becomes a Roman province, I commit myself to eternal darkness; beware, all those who would let the rays of the sun pass through this door.’ ”

“But it makes no sense,” Samir whispered. “Ramses the Great ruled one thousand years before Cleopatra.”

“Yet these are nineteenth-dynasty hieroglyphs without question,” Lawrence countered. Impatiently, he scratched away at the loose rubble. “And look, the inscription’s repeated—in Latin and in Greek.” He paused, then quickly read the last few Latin lines.

“ ‘Be Warned: I sleep as the earth sleeps beneath the night sky or the winter’s snow; and once awakened, I am servant to no man.’ ”

For a moment Lawrence was speechless, staring at the words he’d read. Only vaguely did he hear Samir:

“I don’t like it. Whatever it means, it’s a curse.”

Reluctantly Lawrence turned and saw that Samir’s suspicion had turned to fear.

“The body of Ramses the Great is in the Cairo Museum,” Samir said impatiently.

“No,” Lawrence answered. He was aware of a chill moving slowly up his neck. “There’s a body in the Cairo Museum, but it’s not Ramses! Look at the cartouches, the seal! There was no one in the time of Cleopatra who could even write the ancient hieroglyphs. And these are perfect—and done like the Latin and the Greek with infinite care.”

Oh, if only Julie were here, Lawrence thought bitterly. His daughter, Julie, was afraid of nothing. She would understand this moment as no one else could.

He almost stumbled as he backed out of the passage, waving the photographers out of his path. Again, the flashes went off around him. Reporters rushed towards the marble door.

“Get the diggers back to work,” Lawrence shouted. “I want the passage cleared down to the threshold. I’m going into that tomb tonight.”

“Lawrence, take your time with this,” Samir cautioned. “There is something here which must not be dismissed.”

“Samir, you astonish me,” Lawrence answered. “For ten years we’ve been searching these hills for just such a discovery. And no one’s touched that door since it was sealed two thousand years ago.”

Almost angrily, he pushed past the reporters who caught up with him now, and tried to block the way. He needed the quiet of his tent until the door was uncovered; he needed his diary, the only proper confidant for the excitement he felt. He was dizzy suddenly from the long day’s heat.

“No questions now, ladies and gentlemen,” Samir said politely. As he always did, Samir came between Lawrence and the real world.

Lawrence hurried down the uneven path, twisting his ankle a little painfully, yet continuing, his eyes narrow as he looked beyond the flickering torches at the sombre beauty of the lighted tents under the violet evening sky.

Only one thing distracted him before he reached the safety zone of his camp chair and desk: a glimpse of his nephew, Henry, watching idly from a short distance away. Henry, so uncomfortable and out of place in Egypt; looking miserable in his fussy white linen suit. Henry, with the inevitable glass of Scotch in his hand, and the inevitable cheroot on his lip.

Undoubtedly the belly dancer was with him—the woman, Malenka, from Cairo, who gave her British gentleman all the money she made.

Lawrence could never entirely forget about Henry, but having Henry underfoot now was more than he could bear.

In a life well lived, Lawrence counted Henry as his only true disappointment—the nephew who cared for no one and nothing but gaming tables and the bottle; the sole male heir to the Stratford millions who properly couldn’t be trusted with a one-pound note.

Sharp pain again as he missed Julie—his beloved daughter, who should have been here with him, and would have been if her young fiancé hadn’t persuaded her to stay at home.

Henry had come to Egypt for money. Henry had company papers for Lawrence to sign. And Henry’s father, Randolph, had sent him on this grim mission, desperate as always to cover his son’s debts.

A fine pair they are, Lawrence thought grimly—the ne’er-do-well and the chairman of the board of Stratford Shipping who clumsily funneled the company’s profits into his son’s bottomless purse.

But in a very real way Lawrence could forgive his brother, Randolph, anything. Lawrence hadn’t merely given the family business to Randolph. He had dumped it on Randolph, along with all its immense pressures and responsibilities, so that he, Lawrence, could spend his remaining years digging among the Egyptian ruins he so loved.

And to be perfectly fair, Randolph had done a tolerable job of running Stratford Shipping. That is, until his son had turned him into an embezzler and a thief. Even now, Randolph would admit everything if confronted. But Lawrence was too purely selfish for that confrontation. He never wanted to leave Egypt again for the stuffy London offices of Stratford Shipping. Not even Julie could persuade him to come home.

And now Henry stood there waiting for his moment. And Lawrence denied him that moment, entering the tent and eagerly pulling his chair up to the desk. He took out a leather-bound diary which he had been saving, perhaps for this discovery. Hastily he wrote what he remembered of the door’s inscription and the questions it posed.

“Ramses the Damned.” He sat back, looking at the name. And for the first time he felt just a little of the foreboding which had shaken Samir.

What on earth could all this mean?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Anne Rice was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, which provided the backdrop for many of her famous novels. She was the author of more than 30 books, including her first novel, Interview with the Vampire, which was published in 1976. It has since gone on to become one of the best-selling novels of all time, and was adapted into a major motion picture starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst, and Antonio Banderas. In addition to The Vampire Chronicles, Anne was the author of several other best-selling supernatural series including Mayfair Witches, Queen of the Damned, the Wolf Gift, and Ramses the Damned. Under the pen name A.N. Roquelaure, Anne was the author of the erotic (BDSM) fantasy series, The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy. Under the pen name Anne Rampling she was the author of two erotic novels, Exit to Eden and Belinda. A groundbreaking artist whose work was widely beloved in popular culture, Anne had this to say of her work: "I have always written about outsiders, about outcasts, about those whom others tend to shun or persecute. And it does seem that I write a lot about their interaction with others like them and their struggle to find some community of their own. The supernatural novel is my favorite way of talking about my reality. I see vampires and witches and ghosts as metaphors for the outsider in each of us, the predator in each of us...the lonely one who must grapple day in and day out with cosmic uncertainty."

Making a Case for Ramses the Great

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is another favorite that I've purchased for my kindle in my (never-ending, according to my husband) quest to have them available wherever I happen to be.

I first read this book many years ago when I was trying to balance a fairly new marriage, a four year old daughter, a (second) hip and pelvis replacement, and college classes. I probably don't need to say that money was tight. Really tight. My husband, who views reading somewhat like I view golf, bought the book for me because he knew how much I loved Anne Rice. Egypt, kings, queens, immortality, love...I was immediately hooked.

Ramses is, in many ways, unlike any of the other males in Anne Rice's books. He isn't calculating and destructive like Lasher, darkly brooding like Louis, or high maintenance and mecurical like Lestat. Of course having a couple of thousand years on them might be a part of the reason why. He is also, unlike his ghostly and vampiric brothers, a being of the sun. Ramses is contemplative and intelligent with a highly developed sense of justice. Upon being awakened after a self imposed sleep that goes back to the time of Cleopatra, he is bombarded with the future. Automobiles, trains, newspapers, scientific discoveries, telephones, moving pictures and airplanes are just a few of the things he wakes up to. Is he overwhelmed? Disbelieving? Terrified? No. He is amazed, entranced, and above all, powerfully excited. He wants to do and see it all. Immediately!

His guide for this journey is a young woman who has recently lost her father. She's an heiress who is left with a very small circle of people who all want something from her. Most are good people but there is one among the bunch who is rotten to the core. It's a testimony to Anne Rice's writing that I don't dislike Julie. After all, she's smart, kind, generous, beautiful, wealthy, you get the idea. She is also, at her base, loyal, loving, and good hearted. It was impossible for me to dislike her. She is powerfully attracted to Ramses. Who can blame her? Even as a young girl I can definitely remember knowing that Charlton Heston was no match for Yul Brynner.

They journey to Egypt where things begin to go disastrously wrong. Ramses makes an ill thought out decision that will put all of the lives in their circle in immediate and deadly danger. Evidently being immortal doesn't provide an inoculation against boneheaded actions and everyone in the vicinity is going to feel the aftereffects.

These types of stories have fascinated me since I was very young. My first reason for wanting immortality wouldn't be for living forever, it would be so I'd have enough time to listen to all of the stories told by Ramses that would bring history to life. He may have been Ramses the Damned, but I would have braved a curse and gone wherever he led.

It's been many years since I've re-read this book and I wondered how it would stand the test of time. Our daughter is now an adult, I graduated, and my husband is more than ever the love of many life. And the book? I love it even more now than I did then. I've shared a bit of my life for a reason. Those of us who love to read, if we are lucky anyway, find a handful of authors we are willing to follow no matter what. We are there through both missteps and triumphs. We are happy to read a multitude of authors but we inhale those we love. How can I remember what was going on in my life all those years ago? Because Anne Rice is one of those authors for me. A port in a storm I could escape to after baths, dinner and homework were done and I could read for awhile while everyone else slept.

Of course, once again I find that the only thing I truly dislike about Anne Rice's books is that they always come to an end.

What do you know of the Mummy story

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

As a fan of Ann Rice, I almost missed this book but found it when I pre-ordered the next book coming up. She doesn't follow a regular schedule to publish books.
If anyone has seen the movie version of The Mummy (1932) with Boris Karloff, then you will have a basis on the storyline of this novel. It is set during the early 1900's, when the British had a bigger impact on the Egyptian area then now and there was major excavation going on with discovery of many tombs and relics. We have an older man on site with his assistant and they open a tomb with little regard to the curses written on the door ( get the reference!) Inside they find a pristine tomb with scrolls and jars and the requisite sarcophagus. This man has a daughter Julie who also is an archeologist but is home in England plus his brother Lawrence who runs the family business and nephew Henry. His daughter is engaged to Alex who is the son of Lawrence's friend Lord Elliot.
Lawrence decides to stay in tomb after he gets a table and chair with supplies set up and begins to translate the scrolls into his journal while reading aloud and commenting as if in a conversation with the mummy.
Henry has been sent to Lawrence for his signature on certain papers which his father needs to get funds to cover Henry's debts from gambling and cavorting. (Compare him to a spoiled millennial of today's era who has no care of where the money comes from). Lawrence is aware of Henry's shortcomings and argues with him. Henry tries to cool his uncle's anger by pouring him some coffee prepared with "sugar" and milk. He had put some of the poison from the jars instead. As he calmly watches his uncle drink the beverage and die, he doesn't realize someone has been watching him. Henry forges his uncle's signature and then calls for help.
Julie inherits the entire find and the company from her father and has the find brought to her home in England for first viewing prior to deciding what to place in the museum. Despite her grief, she begins to read her father's journal, while doing so, Henry comes by, and tries to use the poison again but this time is stopped by the rising of the mummy attacking him. Henry flees hysterical.
Here's where Ann Rice deviates from the movie. This Mummy is not a villain looking to kill, he is an Immortal who chose to put himself into sleep to past the years and awakes when exposed to sunlight after a long sleep.He had become immortal by drinking an elixir while alive. After he fully forms and has a calm conversation with Julie, she decides to accompany him back to Egypt so he can say goodbye to all he knew and then he will decide his future.
When Lord Elliot and Henry's father hear of Julie's trip, they all accompany her to Egypt, with no problem getting ship accommodations to sail to Egypt (pre-airplane major travel times). Julie introduces the mummy to others a Reginald Ramsey. They all find him charming except for Henry,who as soon as they arrive at first stop in Egypt, leaves them for Cairo to await them ( actually to get away from Ramsey). All goes well for most of the trip until they arrive in Cairo, just prior to the opening of the opera Aida by Verdi. That specific opera has a distinct Egyptian theme similar to the mummy theme of live burial. One of the last places, they visit is the Cairo museum, where there are multiple mummies plus a few bodies preserved from being covered in the mud of the Nile bogs. One of them catches Ramsey's eye as it is the body of his lost love Cleopatra, who left him for Marc Antony, her downfall.
Naturally, Ramsey does the obvious, and tries to revive her using the elixir but doesn't give enough to fully come to form plus her mine is a little warped from the poison she got from the snake. She's the murdering one here, like the Mummy from newest movie with Tom Cruise but without the effects.
This novel has a semi-happy ending with Ramsey and Julie going off to spend eternity together since she finally accepts his offer to drink the elixir. Ann Rice leaves a few strings to lead into the next novel.
I enjoyed the setting, just found it amazing that someone could be that rich that they could just up and leave everything. It was also a bit satiric with the difference in classes (rich versus poor) noted during that time period. Looking forward to the next novel.

Raises the Damned

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2023

Verified Purchase

What to say about this timeless classic. Raises the Damned was a fantastic novel when I read it the first time. The second time through, my opinion has not changed. But I just recently found out that this classic has a sequel. Well, it kicks off a trilogy to be specific. I remember when I read this novel the first time thinking that this story was not finished. And now we have four immortal beings.

I honestly don't know where this is headed. I do know that I am writing this on November the 1st, 2023. I know that Anne Rice died recently. Or recent-ish. I have no idea if she or her son Christopher completed the trilogy. I only hope books two and three are equally as good.

So... all of this said, read the damned thing. Because nobody creates a world for the supernatural like Anne Rice did!

•••NOT for the homophobic, transphobic, closedminded or faint of heart!

This series must be read in order. I can't wait to read the next book!

Ramses has slept for thousands of years only to be awakened to the murder of the man who found his tomb. What is the world like? Will he find his way in it or be like a fish out of water? How is his grief just gone? Has he been aware all these years? Should he avenge the death of the man who awakened him?

***This series is suitable for adult readers who enjoy fantasy and epic tales laced with action, adventure and romance :)

Loved the portrayal of all the characters. As busy as I am, I couldn't pry myself away from this work. I'd recommend this book to any Anne Rice fan of a bookworm. While flipping pages, I was so into the story that I was matching up characters with actors who could play them in my rendition of the film. It's more than enjoyable, it's an experience.

Anne Rice takes on her story on The Mummy

Reviewed in Canada on April 20, 2024

Verified Purchase

Most people are aware of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Looks like she wanted to do her own take on an Egyptian mummy story. Well, this isn't just any mummy, it is Pharaoh Ramses II. Parts of this will feel very familiar. It's full of her usual sensuality and allure, you cannot help falling in love with the characters and the good news is this is the beginning of a trilogy so there's more to enjoy after you consume this tale.
