While a plot to topple the Pharaoh is the main focus of this book, I'm more interested in the assassin-foiling killer baboon!
Have any side characters that you just love reading about, sometimes even more than the protagonists? Who are they?

As am #Egyptologist, in my view, he surpasses all other authors of #HistoricalNivels whose books about #AncientEgypt I habe been able to get my hands on.
He has written several series on the topic, all of which I can recommend...1)

Thanks for sharing. I have never been there. I should like to travel there some time, though.
At this point, I should reveal, though, that some years back I read all the history novels about ancient #Egypt that I could get my hands on: from the founding of a unified kingdom, to its demise as a #Roman province and the #Arab conquest.
