An epic re-creation of the exhilarating and mysterious time when the Sun King ruled Egypt, Ramses, the Son of Light, has become the rage in France. With over two million copies sold, it is the greatest publishing phenomenon to hit the shelves there in 20 years. Rameses is only 14 when his father, the Pharaoh Seti, begins testing his true mettle. Being the younger of two sons, the proud Ramses has a problem with being relegated to second place. Now, with increasing attention from the Pharaoh, along with the formal and military education afforded him, he dares to hope that he may inherit the empire after all. This spell-binding novel of court intrigue, treason, and romantic adventure is a rare look at Egyptian history. The entire family will enjoy the inside view of daily life and the secret rituals involved in being a pharaoh's son. Veteran narrator George Guidall's reading of this enchanting historical novel is matchless.©1995 Editions Robert Laffont (P)1998 Recorded Books, LLC Ancient Historical Fiction Sagas Genre Fiction Biographical Fiction Feel-Good

Never saw a novel in this way. It sounds like he had plan to sequel before he got halfway through the first one. The big let down is apparently there is no sequel. The story itself was compelling, but it was like the power went out just when it reached the best part.

I was very disappointed . Yes I was very disappointed when the book ended and there wasn't a sequel out yet.
This is historical fiction at it's finest. Great characters & plot along with a very good narration.

I reommend this book highly.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

While the story was fairly engaging, the abruptness of the ending left me cold. I have no objection to an author writing trilogies - I often seek out multiple volume stories. But I appreciate series in which each book could, if necessary, stand on its own. This book stopped so suddenly, I could envision Christian Jacq simply reaching the magic number of words required by the publisher and barely bothered to insert a period on the last sentence before hitting the submit button. I intend to wait 6 months to see if I even still care about these characters before buying the next installment.

Interesting but clearly only Part 1

The performance was one note and had no range between hero/heroine vs Villain

Even Rameses sounded like he was a villain

It was reminiscent of the Horror film actor Vincent Price

Is Vincent Price still alive?
