I love Ancient Fiction anyway, but when i stumbled upon Wilbur Smiths Egyptian series one day...i bought them all, and read them all.
They're amazing. Book two not so much, as it goes back to the future, but 1, 3, and 4 are awesome reads. They're set around the second Intermediate kingdom, when the Hyksos invasion takes place.
Book 4 however takes on a different route, as it mentions an evil goddess set out to destroy Egypt, and their only hope is a Warlock/magus names Taita (who's also in book 1 and 3)
I'm now reading Christian Jacq's novels. His Queen of Freedom trilogy is set in the same timeline as Wilbur Smiths, except his is based alot more upon truth, true names are used in his novels, whereas Smith's characters are purely fictional, though both turn them into great novels!
If you enjoy a good read, these 2 authors have to be your first picks when it comes to Egyptian Fiction!
