Shadow Of The Sphinx
(Christian Jacq)
Shadow of the Sphinx is the third volume of the Judge of Egypt trilogy.
It is based on the history of Ancient Egypt, with plenty of imaginative
fiction thrown in.Tjaty Pazair is second only to Pharaoh Ramses
the Great. He has been assigned the task of finding the Testament of
the Gods, the one possession that Ramses needs to prove his right to
rule at his regeneration ceremony at the beginning of the new year. The
Testament has been stolen from its rightful place in the Great Pyramid
at Giza. Five conspirators have been uncovered, four are dead, the
fifth, Bel-Tran, is the Director of the Double White House, which
controls the countries trade and finances. Pazair has to thwart
Bel-Tran?s attempts to destroy Egypt?s infrastructure.He is
helped by his wife, Neferet, the head of the Memphis Guards, Kem,
Killer, Kem?s baboon, and the former Tjaty, Bagey. He desperately needs
Suti, his blood brother, to assist him in this impossible task, but he
has gone missing after escaping from a Nubian prison.There are
many attempts on Pazair?s life and he has so few people to turn to. He
doesn?t know whom to trust and he doesn?t know if there are any other
people involved in the scheme.There is a good twist at the end of the book and it is well worth reading if you love adventure or stories based in fact.
