Exploring Ancient Egypt

by Roger Kean

One of the fascinating aspects of Egyptology is that the sands and rocky wadis of Egypt keep throwing up new discoveries in archaeology. As recently as 2006, the announcement of a new royal tomb in the Valley of the Kings created a massive stir of excitement. Exploring Ancient Egypt offers a lucid and exciting account of the pharaonic history and sorts out the complexities of ancient Egyptian religion so the reader can set out on a Nile adventure armed with all the information necessary to really appreciate Egypt's marvelous monuments, paintings and sculptures. The history section is followed by detailed explanations of all the major attractions from Abu Simbel in the south to Tanis in the north, covering periods from the dawn of time to the late Roman era. - Specially commissioned maps match to the text - Plans linked to superb photography keep the reader in the frame, on foot or from the armchair - Aimed at the casual reader, the student of Egyptology and the tourist.

Film maker, journalist, magazine and book publisher, Roger M. Kean settled down to pen gay fiction. To date he has written Felixitations, Thunderbolt:Torn Enemy of Rome, and the “Empire Trilogy” of late Victorian action-adventure novels A Life Apart, Gregory's Story, and Harry's Great Trek. In between battling through the deserts of Sudan, he wrote the 30,000-word novella about British Premier League football (soccer) What's A Boy Supposed to Do.

Both Felixitations and A Life Apart have been M/M Romance Group Books of the Month.

Writing under the pen name of his lifelong partner, internationally renowned gay artist Zack (a.k.a Oliver Frey), Kean’s “Boys of…” series extends to five full-length novels, graphically illustrated by Zack. The Adventures of Gil Graham and Mike Smith are set in the early 1980s: Boys of Vice City, Boys of Disco City, Boys of Two Cities, Boys of the Fast Lane, and Boy of the West End. After the demise of publisher Bruno Gmümder, these titles and some others under the ZACK pen name are either out of print or only available at ludicrous prices, but selected titles will be republished in due course during 2020.

Due to the same circumstances the BOYS OF IMPERIAL ROME series written under the name of Zack are also out of print in the original illustrated editions, but are now available under Roger M. Kean and Reckless Books imprint (not illustrated due to KDP print restrictions on graphic content):
Deadly Circus of Desire
The Satyr of Capri
