SynopsisFor four thousand years, the lavish crypt of the Pharoah Mamose has never been found-- until the beautiful Egyptologist Royan Al Simma finds a tantalizing clue to its location in the Seventh Scroll, a cryptic document written by the slave Taita. But the location of the crypt and its treasure is a secret others would kill to possess. Only one step ahead of assassins, Royan runs for her life and into the arms of the only man she can trust, Sir Nicholas Quenton-Harper-- a daring man who will stake his fortune and his life to join her hunt for the king's tomb. Together, they will embark on a breathtaking journey to the most exotic locale on earth, where the greatest mystery of ancient Egypt, a chilling danger, and an explosive passion are waiting. Steeped in ancient mystery, drama, and action, "The Seventh Scroll" will pull you in for an adventure of a lifetime.
As a kid I read a few of Wilbur Smiths books. Growing up in South Africa made the books more real to me. After marrying an American lady and moving up to the USA, I introduced my wife to his books. I told her it would answer a lot of questions about my culture and she would learn a lot about the history of Africa. Wilbur Smith does a lot of research for his stories. You could almost see them as historic documents. This book, The 7th Scroll is the second book in his series about Egypt. Many believe these were his best and easiest reading books.
