"This book is a pretty good book, its historical / fictional meshing make it a fun read for those who enjoy both like myself. Although I think the author obsessed a little to much on the sexual exploits in the book, true it is no secret during this time moral values were not strong, the author only achieves belittling himself in his desire for over description in sex. Over all a fun read."
"It is 526 B.C. and the Egyptian Empire is under attack not only from foreign Persian aggressors, but from treachery within its own borders as well. When Hasdrubal Barca, a mercenary in service to the pharaoh, learns of a treasonous plot, he uses his years of military experience and expertise in an attempt to save Egypt from invasion.
Political strife, riveting battle scenes, haunting regrets, betrayal, love and revenge...this historical fiction encompasses them all. The battle scenes were so well depicted that I could see the action unfolding in my mind. There are a lot of characters so it would be wise to make note of the names and relations they have with one another (I found myself constantly flipping back trying to figure out who was who). Other than that, it was an enjoyable read."
