Smith’s tradition continues

for Egypt and bring back warriors to join the defence of Egypt. From the get go Piay and his assistant face danger on a daily basis, travelling by land and sea to the faraway lands to the north. At every turn Piay is pursued by Sakir, a Hyksos warlord who is making it his mission to kill him.

Piay and Hannu are almost overwhelmed by their journey and the places and people they encounter. Titans of War is true to the tradition of Wilbur Smith’s historical adventures. If, like me, his novels have been part of your life for many years, you definitely won’t be disappointed with Mark Chadbourn’s adoption of the ancient Egypt so eloquently expressed by Smith.
