The Maya Papyrus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780957487604)

"One of the best historical novels I've read in a very long time." LM Ironside, author of The Sekhmet Bed and The Crook and Flail In the Valley of the Kings, a team of archaeologists has unearthed a secret that has lain buried for over 3000 years. Hidden in Nefertiti's tomb is a bundle of papyrus sheaves. Although badly decayed, the documents have survived well enough to tell an epic tale of war, murder and treachery... Thuya is a woman who craves greatness. Her son, Aye, is a man who will stop at nothing to attain it. Together they will concoct a scheme so monumental that it will mould the reigns of Egypt's kings and rewrite the future of the known world. The Maya Papyrus is populated with some of the most extraordinary characters in history: Tutankhamun, the boy king; his father, Akhenaten, the deformed tyrant; Akhenaten's queen, Nefertiti, whose beauty remains legendary three millennia later. Who among them can stand against a man willing to risk everything to achieve immortality?
