Titans of War

Ancient Egypt, Book 8

By: Wilbur Smith, Mark Chadbourn

Narrated by: Mark Meadows

Global bestselling author of River God and The New Kingdom, Wilbur Smith, returns with the next epic book in his Ancient Egyptian series.

A ruthless enemy. A civilisation in ruins. A quest for salvation.

For over fifty years Egypt has known nothing but war and devastation at the hands of the Hyksos, a bloodthirsty barbarian people from the distant east who continue to advance, crushing armies in their wake. Times are desperate, but throughout the conflict, a brave resistance fights on under the great Taita, a slave who has risen far beyond his ranks.

Piay, entrusted into Taita's care by his parents at the age of just five, has been trained to become a great spy, unmatched by any other. Determined to prove his worth, he embarks on a dangerous mission to the north - to Mycenae and through the heart of Hyksos land and across the great sea - to find allies to help defend Egypt. As the situation becomes increasingly precarious, and the fate of the kingdom is hanging in the balance, can Piay succeed in his quest or will this mean the end of the glory that is Egypt once and for all?

I am never disappointed in a Wilbur Smith novel! He will always be the best fictional historical writers of all time! I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing last year. RIP Wilbur. Your legacy will live on forever!

Lots of fun adventure set in ancient times during the invasion of the Hixos into Egypt. Taita our long lived wiseman plays a supporting role in this novel

Wilbur Smith RiP

This was another great book by Mr. Smith. May his stories and books stay ever so with us. Each story brings a great feel -ing, the good man’s passion and spirt, said with each word.
Each book is, so insightful, so inspiring,it brings a warm glow to the readers heart. Start with the first and read and reread for man hours of enjoyment. I promise you you’ll enjoy it.

Way too long

Plot of the story was OK, but the story just kept going on and on. The story was so long that it grew ponderous and I ended up speed listening to the last 5 hours.

Mark Meadows is a fine narrator!
