Reviews

[Peter]

This entry in the Huy series, set in Egypt 1352 BCE, is interesting because of the focus on the “murder” of Tutankhamun and the manoeuvrings by Horemheb and Ay to succeed.
Huy ducks and weaves as he attempts to stay alive to uncover evidence of the desert killing. He has allies like Senseheb, the daughter of the murdered chief doctor with whom he soon begins a relationship, and fights at least one too many adversaries to the death as the well-described political situation remains volatile.
It's grittier than Paul Doherty’s Amerotke

[Fausto]

El autor nos presenta su versión de la muerte del faraón Tutankamón en donde, el escriba Huy debe averiguar la verdad. A comparación de las dos entregas anteriores de esta saga, este libro no te engancha tanto ya que tiene poca intriga y un final discreto. Veamos que sucede en los siguientes libros.
