- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This was essentially an episode of "24" set in ancient Egypt.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the third installment in Drake's Egypt series featuring the Medjay investigator Rahotep. As with the first two books, Drake's vivid descriptions and thorough details bring ancient Egypt to life, and he continues to depict complex characters that the reader will root for, but not always agree with. This is especially true with the main character Rahotep. Unlike the first two books, the majority of this book does not take place in Egypt, but in the Hittite empire and surrounding territories. I did not like the direction that Rahotep's character took; he became too hard to sympathize with at times. Also, the reveal of the ultimate villian behind the opium ring seemed rushed and out-of-character, as though this character was chosen to be the villian purely for shock value.
