New Kingdom not up to Smith's Standards.
Published by LeonardF , 2 years ago
I have read many Wilbur Smith books and really liked all of the previous Ancient Egypt Series, but this book seems to have been written more by Mark Chadbourn than Smith himself. Sorry, but I did not like the main character and could not force myself to finish the book.
