About this listen
A thrilling new installment in Wilbur Smith's beloved Egyptian series.
Egypt is under attack.
The ancient city of Luxor is under attack. Pharaoh Tamose lies mortally wounded. All seems lost.
Taita prepares for the enemy's final, fatal push. The ex-slave, now general of Tamose's armies, is never more ingenious than when all hope is dashed. And this is Egypt's most desperate hour.
With the timely arrival of an old ally, Taita's army repels the enemy invaders; for now, at least. But upon his return to Luxor, Taita is seized and branded a traitor. Tamose is dead and a poisonous new era has begun. The new Pharaoh has risen.
Pharaoh Utteric is young, weak and cruel, and threatened by Taita's influence within the palace—especially his friendship with Utteric's younger and worthier brother, Rameses. With Taita's imprisonment, Rameses is forced to make a choice: help Taita escape and forsake his brother, or stay silent and condone Utteric's tyranny. To a good man like Rameses, there is no choice. Taita must be set free, Utteric must be stopped and Egypt must be reclaimed.
From the glittering temples of Luxor to the Citadel of Sparta, Pharaoh is an intense and powerful novel magnificently transporting you to a time of threat, blood and glory. Master storyteller Wilbur Smith is at the very peak of his powers.
"An old-fashioned adventure ... [Wilbur's] legions of fans will demand this latest in the series in order to follow the next chapter in Taita's very long, exciting life." Booklist

A SOFT PHARAOH
Pharaoh was not a book I would have put into the realm of Wilbur Smith's adventures. I'm a big fan of nearly all his books but this one wasn't up to par for his very gripping
and somewhat fact based of some of his African books. I'm disappointed, but not put off any of his Ancient Egypt novels, which I look forward to with great interest.

Love it!
I absolutely love this author. The storyline is always excellent. The characters voices and accents from the narrator we're incredible. I completely immerse myself in this book. Recommend this book. 10/10

Vale Wilbur Smith
Vale Wilbur Smith, the world's best author for over half a century. Your books have given me hundreds of hours of reading pleasure and introduced me to worlds, eras, characters and history. You have set the standards by which all other adventure writers have to meet. You inspired me to write my own series of books and for that I owe you a debt of gratitude.
I actually had the pleasure to meet you once at a book signing session and you were gracious enough to enquire after the health of my father who was perhaps your greatest fan.
Books like 'When the Lion Feeds', 'Sunbird', 'River God', 'The Triumph of the Sun' and so many others will stay with me forever.
Pharoah - not one of your best and in any case, I suspect it was not written by you.

Not the best of the Egypt series
The story lacks much of the thrill of Wilbur Smith adventures, much because of the monotonous narrative style and lack of other character interactions.

absolutely rubbish.
I can't believe Wilbur Smith put his name to this absolute crap.
I've been reading his books since the mid 80s, and found him to be a master historian and story teller.
this and the victor cross books are some of the worst books I've ever read/listened too.
the executors of his estate are churning out absolute crap and cashing in on his lifetimes work.
He would be turning in his grave to have his name put on this rubbish.
