Pharaoh: A Novel of Ancient Egypt and the Slave Queen

by William Burr

Before the birth of Christ, Ancient Egypt was the center of learning and culture in the West, a nation in stark contrast to the less sophisticated countries of Europe. It's excellence was centered in the Mouseion, the Alexandria Library, a complex of buildings that housed 700,000 scrolls, writings on papyrus that held nearly all the world's knowledge of the time. Akhu, the son of the libraries custodian, fights internal conspiracies and external threats in an almost continual effort to save the library scrolls and the knowledge they contain. Pharaohs, kings, queens, eunuchs, slaves, and foreign enemies all struggle for control of Egypt and its vast riches taking Akhu on adventures throughout the lands of the Mediterranean for the good of his country and those he loves.
