The Amarnan Kings, Book 1: Scarab-Akhenaten 3d cover new

Book 1: Scarab-Akhenaten

A chance discovery in Syria reveals answers to the mystery of the ancient Egyptian sun-king, the heretic Akhenaten and his beautiful wife Nefertiti. Inscriptions in the tomb of his sister Beketaten, otherwise known as Scarab, tell a story of life and death, intrigue and warfare, in and around the golden court of the kings of the glorious 18th dynasty.

The narrative of a young girl growing up at the centre of momentous events–the abolition of the gods, foreign invasion, and the fall of a once-great family–reveals who Tutankhamen’s parents really were, what happened to Nefertiti, and other events lost to history in the great destruction that followed the fall of the Aten heresy.

I read this book to learn something about 18th dynasty Egypt prior to an Egyptian tour. Enjoyable story peppered with historical details about Egypt that time period. Fun intro to the era. Looking forward to volume 2 in the series

Good story of life in Ancient Egypt but left me hanging with no continuation of the story at the end. What happen to Scarab?

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting story from a spectator

5.0

This story provides a spectator view of life in Ancient Egypt during the time of the Heretic, Pharaoh Akhenaten. Many unanswered questions from this time period are theorized in a logical manner based on known evidence. What happened to Queen Nefertiti? Were Nefertiti and Smenkhere the same person? What was life like in the capital city known as Akhenaten? How did the person who became Akhenaten establish the worship of one god over the many gods favored in Egypt? An exhilarating story of intrigue, innocence, corruption, love, and life in the greatest ancient civilization the world has ever known portrayed in a plausible and fascinating way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hike Up Your Kilt and read it at any level

5.0

Yes, it's a long series. Yes it's historical fiction. Yes, there is academic bits to anchor the place and the daily life. So what? It is more credible than Vampires or the inbreeding of European/Asia nobles. It does bring the ancient world into a more human perspective. It frighteningly shows how slowly change comes especially with a philosopher King. And what does a power have to do to maintain regional peace? all in all a book series which could be a young adult book or a more mature reader's entrance to an Egyptian trip if one didn't want to read current guide books.

Providing clear details and imaginative characters, Scarab tells the story of the discovery of an Egyptian tomb in the present day, and then flashes back to the story of the tomb's owner. As a fan of fiction set in Ancient Egypt I found this easy to follow and did not find it bogged down by too many info-dumps.

Well researched,well written

4.0

I have been interested in the history of Akhenaten for some time, and was delighted to find this fictional account. A really good, believable take on this strange man. A great idea to follow the fortunes of one person (Scarab) as she interacts with all the famous and infamous characters of the time. I have also now bought the other five books in the series - have read the second, so far and have started the third.

5.0

Max Overton has certainly done his research. He sweeps one back into time, making one feel that they are actually there. His knowledge of the warfare of that era is excellent. However, I have read that Nefertiti was the warrior queen and not Scarab but that could be poetic license. I particularly like the way he has developed the character Scarab from her childhood to maturity. Max is also gifted with insight in his weaving of the emotions of women and men. It was such a good read that I have purchased all of the Amarnan Kings' books. He cleverly made the endings a prerequisite for seeking the next book. Well done!

really interesting series

5.0

I had never read ancient Egypt stories before, but wanted to know more after reading Ms McCullochs Anthony and Cleopatra(Masters of Rome series, which along with O'Briens Master and Commander series, the best historical novels ever, I think so anyway!). I found all the Scarab books great,and they are longish, good for quick readers .The characters are fascinating, and since reading these books I have read other series with similar Egyptian themes.But to me ,these are my favourites, better by far than most.There is a lot of drama and revenge and bloodshed .Nice to have a female hero too.I cant comment on the historical accuracy but the author gives reasons for his take on it, and however true to the actual events ,it is a great story.well worth buying or get a sample and see.

Slow Start

Was a very slow start compared to the Mules series . Names hard to keep track of. But guess understandable given the biopic nature of the whole complete series to introduce all the characters. Looking forward to the next installment as the story has picked up pace....

SCARAB is a very enjoyable fictional novel with many accurate details about what life was like in Ancient Egypt. Everyday archeologists and anthropologists are finding new clues to old civilizations. I really enjoyed the picture Mr. Overton captured into the lives of the regular people as well as the royal families. I am keeping this novel forever and will read further Max Overton tales.

5.0

Max Overton - Master Wordsmith. Honestly..... buy it!! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Then Wishlist the next four books in the series, put the kettle on and get ready for a REAL story. It was captivating and thought provoking. This book is just one "chapter" of a long lifetime which is covered from start to finish through the five books in the series. My review today is not only about this book but the entire series. Mr Overton has taken a name that history has remembered only twice and blown the breath of life into a strong, vibrant young woman. Her entire life....with all the hardship, the betrayals, the scheming plotting relatives, the love, the loss, the fear, the joy, the....LIFE! Life in all it's ugly, painful, joyous, beautiful, messy glory. The style of writing is very clever and very insightful. Mr Overton has shared a lot of historical fact throughout the story adding authenticity to Scarab's life. At other times, he's drawn on Biblical inspiration and raised some interesting questions. The story is told not purely from Scarab's point of view, but occasionally switches to other significant characters too, giving us some insight into their motives and mannerisms. I didn't notice any typo's or grammatical errors. Great plot - heaps of twists along the way. Fascinating characters - whom I either loved and loathed depending on their role in the story. I don't think I've ever hated a "bad guy" more than Ay. Beautiful setting(s) - makes me want to buy a plane ticket and see it for myself but I was there... I saw Kemet! I saw the White Walls and the temples, I saw the hot desert and I sailed the river along with Scarab. It takes a true wordsmith to take you back to ancient Kemet. Some fascinating theories about the Exodus.... it's so plausible. It takes a great mind to piece all of that together and tell such a wonderful story in such a skilful manner. The start and close of each book is set in 1940's (...or was it the 30's....??) Syria and by the end of the series I was deeply invested in the archaeological team despite their "small" part in the story. That was clever Mr Overton....that was just pure unadulterated clever.

the amarnan kings book 1 Scarab-Akhenaten

5.0

Looking for a book that details life in ancient egypt, not just the historical details, but bringing the story to life by involving the reader in the day to day lives of the ordinary citizens, but also the kings and queens of their time and the intrigues of daily life. The author has managed to amalgamate known facts with an amazing made up scenario that makes the reader totally believe what he is reading. I have become totally involved with the characters of this first instalment of these books,that I have puchased the further 4 other books in the series. Needless to say that I have not been disapointed in doing so. At the present moment up to half way through Book 3. Brilliant!!!!!!. Totally involved with the characters and can't wait for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous book...in PAPERBACK!!

5.0

What a joy to read (and own) Overton's "Scarab-Akhenaten" (book #1). Max did his homework and wrote a masterpiece...and what a ride it is! And best of all, it was offered in PAPERBACK (as well as kindle). I can't do kindle (eyestrain), and frankly, I love the independence of real books in paperback and hardcover. If the grid goes down, I can still happily read. Book #1 of his "Scarab' series is SO good that I desperately want to read books #2 - #5 ... but I can't, because they're only offered in kindle forrmat. That ain't right. Not all of us are fans of ebooks. I wrote to the publisher (writers exchange.com) and perhaps they will disregard my feedback as a memo from a dinosaur. But Overton's "Scarab-Akhenaten" is a real GIFT to my library, and to yours. How I wish that we could have the freedom to choose paperback (or kindle). This would increase book sales too.

5.0

Ok, I gave this book a try; I love historical fiction, the more ancient the better. No one knows for sure what happened that far back, tantalizing clues and some historical records are all we have and I've seen some pretty strange interpretations of the clues. This book not only delivers on a rational and reasonable explanation but does it in a manner that draws you in completely. It drew me in so far that, even though I knew I was getting close to the it, the end came as a complete surprise and threw me right out of the story. I bumped down and quickly proceeded to download the next book. I enjoy the world Overton has created and will most definitely visit more of it.

Wonderful story, well-written historical fiction. What a wonderful find. Thank you, Mr. Overton, for taking me on a trip to ancient Egypt. I cannot wait to read all the books of the series. Books 2 & 3 are already in my iPad library. Thank you especially for omitting the vulgarity and gratuitous sex that so many other authors feel compelled to weave into their books, which add nothing to the story line.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific Read.

I recently completed John Schembra's novel: Retribution. Generally, I am apt to lose interest in a book fairly quick, but not so with this one. I can unequivocally recommend it as a good read. Clues were subtly dropped, and at times were so ingenious the clue went unseen, cloaked only in shadows. The action scenes were fast, good and credible. The picture was painted with such a skillful hand I could 'see' the scenes unfold. Think I'll go shopping for another Schembra novel. Happy Reading,

5.0 out of 5 stars A Winter Treat

1this holiday story from Christine DeSmet is a perfect winter read. The Door County setting is a delightful remembrance of this lovely area. As soon as I began reading, I felt at home with familiar characters, They all sparkle, just like Ava's fudge. I am looking forward to the next book. This is one of my favorite series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun-Filled and Action-Packed Story

What a delightful treat to discover Christine DeSmet's Holly Jolly Fudge Folly! Ava Oosterling is the memorable narrator of this great blend of a whodunnit and a lovely holiday story. The novel is set in Fishers' Harbor, in Door County, Wisconsin, and DeSmet packs her fast-paced story with the tantalizing aroma of fudge, wonderful descriptions of a snowy Main Street, and cultural details such as Belgian skritek, or gnomes, and Scandinavian elves known as nissen. This is a great read and I look forward to exploring more of DeSmet's work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holiday follies in Door County

The 6th in the Door County Fudge Shop cozy mystery series! Ava Oosterling is back with fudge, fudge, and more fudge! And snow! And the death of a tax assessor whose latest assessments may mean the death of Fisher's Harbor as we know it. And of course, Ava's grandfather is in the thick of it all. A holiday adventure, complete with snow, gnomes, and elves from Belgian (and other Scandinavian) folklore. When Ava finds the dead tax assessor a week before her best friend's wedding, and learns her grandfather is a prime suspect, she digs into the case, much to the chagrin of the local sheriff (again 🙂 ). Not only that, but someone (or something) has been leaving little gifts for her. Are the elves teasing her? Are there gnomes looking out for her? This is another great adventure in Wisconsin's "Cape Cod" that doesn't disappoint. And it includes Ava's latest fudge recipe!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Blend of Cozy Mystery and Holiday Reading

Christine DeSmet's Holly Jolly Fudge is set in Wisconsin's vacation wonderland Door County during the "off-season"--Christmastime. This makes for a wonderful blend of cozy mystery and a holiday story. The characters are from DeSmet's regular in-season series and wonderfully relatable. The mystery is fun and not so easy to guess who dunnit. And the holiday backdrop makes all that more fun. I enjoyed this book a lot!

5.0 out of 5 stars A bride-to-be, a dead body, and a whole lot of laughs.

Sometimes you feel like a full meal. Other times you want a tasty snack. A Moonstone Wedding is the delectable bite you sneak in before dinner. This novella is a quick read filled with giggles, farcical situations, and non-stop action. When Margie Mueller receives a fertility rug from her fiancé’s family before the wedding, the older bride worries her mother-in-law and husband might expect her to pull off a miracle. After the family descends on Moonstone from Italy, Margie receives a threatening note…and then the first body appears. The clash of cultures between Wisconsin and Italy makes for plenty of laughs. The mystery is light as is suitable for a novella. The killer’s motive addresses a surprisingly heavy subject for a humorous novella, but author Desmet keeps it light with twists and farce. This is a fun read to slip in between novels, such as Desmet’s Fudge Shop mysteries.

5.0 out of 5 stars A jolly good read

Although I don't usually read cozy mysteries, I was looking for a change of pace as the holidays approached. Good move! The characters touched my heart from the get-go. I cheered for them, cried for them, worried about them. I'm sending a copy to a friend for Christmas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Holiday Cozy Mystery

I was an early ARC reader for Christine DeSmet’s newest book, "Holly Jolly Fudge Folly"—the sixth book in her Fudge Shop Cozy Mystery Series. Ava Oosterling is preparing her Blue Heron Inn for guests and stocking her shared-with-her-grandfather Oosterling’s Live Bait, Bobbers, Belgium Fudge, and Beer Shop for the upcoming Saint Nicholas Festival in Fishers’ Harbor, Door County, Wisconsin. The busy Christmas holidays are quickly approaching as Ava makes batches of holiday fudge for her shop and prepares to be the maid of honor for her best friend, Pauline—with her authentic Victorian wedding—as well as deepening her rekindled relationship with her ex-husband, Dillon, and their new engagement. But when the county’s tax assessor is found stabbed to death in his car, buried under a pile of fresh snow packed in from the plow driver—who happened to be her grandfather during an angry rage to get back at the real plow driver for smashing his mailbox—the festive holidays are tarnished with not only the sheriff’s investigation into the assessor's death but also Ava’s determination to find the killer and clear her grandfather of any wrong-doings despite the evidence stacked against him. DeSmet’s description of Door County is wonderful. She gives her readers a true sense of place in the story, with accurate historical details in the landscape, area harbor towns, and the settling families in the area of Scandinavian, Icelandic, and Belgian decent. Her cast of characters are deeply individual and believable. But what DeSmet does best is cast doubt on who committed the murder and why. Eight village people head up the list of possible suspects, including Ava’s grandfather, but when someone is considered the culprit, more motives are revealed, creating doubt with the previous suspects and implicating new ones. Readers will turn pages until almost the end before discovering “who done it.” Cozy mysteries are not a genre I normally read. However, I think DeSmet’s fans as well as new readers of the Fudge Shop Mystery Series will enjoy "Holly Jolly Fudge Folly." DeSmet even includes a recipe for Holly Jolly Folly Fudge at the back of the book for readers to make and enjoy. Overall, I thought it was an entertaining story—I found myself needing to read on to see who actually committed the murder. The novel would make a great holiday gift for those who love a good cozy mystery, especially one set in Door County, Wisconsin.

A fitting end to Ay’s career as a scheming villain

What it says above…. This volume was a little repetitive in places, i think we all know by now that Scarab was the last daughter of Nebmaatre Amenhotep III. But it was a satisfying read on the whole. A lot of subplots get resolved.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Twist on a Quest Fantasy

Trueman offers distinct and believable characters who are easy to love and root for, in a solid and interesting fantasy world. The quest (no spoilers) turns into something much bigger than anyone imagined, and the development of the characters’ relationships along the way provides a heart-warming counterpoint to the heroic actions. There are times when the narrative drags, but I found it to be worthwhile in the long run to press through the early clutter.

The series The Pyramid Builders Is a supposed method of how the pyramids were built and the challenges involved. If you’re interested in Ancient history, I think you would enjoy these books.

Journey through the magical world of ancient pharaonic Egypt

Max Overton is an acclaimed historical fiction writer on ancient Egypt. He authored 23 books on this subject including this one and I read all of them. His first 20 books cover New Kingdom, then Second Intermediate Period and then he started this 10 book series on Old Kingdom and this book is the third one. His deep research on the subject always makes his book most readable. In this book though there is not much of pyramid building but I find it interesting to learn about the ancient Egyptian way of living, their medical and social practices, usual human vices and virtues. This is part of a series, if you don’t read the first two you will not enjoy or appreciate this one. I look forward eagerly to his next books of this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great San Francisco centric mystery

Schembra introduces the lead character San Francisco Homicide Inspector Vince Torelli in this series of easy to read, but tough to put down, mystery novels. If you know the SF Bay Area or not, this is a great introduction to a captivating series of uniquely well written novels that never disappoint. I love Schembra’s work and am looking forward to reading the next book following the cases of Inspector Torelli.

4.0 out of 5 stars Romantic Suspense with Nonstop Tension

This novel maintains intense tension and suspense throughout without falling back on constant "action" (something I try to avoid in my reading, because I find it more confusing than exciting). The love between Vincent and Kira, as well as his reluctant devotion to the mentor he hasn't seen in many years, clashes with the pervasive feeling that we -- along with the characters -- are never sure who can be trusted. I sympathized with both Kira's reservations about trusting Vincent while he hides so many secrets from her and Vincent's frustration about not being able to keep her safe. Both come across as strong characters, whom we root for even when they seem to be making unwise choices. The mystery of Kira's origin is gradually unfolded with just enough slow reveal to keep the reader eager for more. Sure, the Network seems a little farfetched, but one doesn't look for mundane realism in a spy-themed romantic suspense story. 🙂

comme d'habitude

Comme dans ses précédentes séries égyptiennes (Hyksos , Scarab ...), l'auteur nous emmène dans un récit palpitant consacré cette fois aux bâtisseurs de pyramides. M Overton s'est une nouvelle fois très bien documenté sur le sujet et nous permet de voir revivre le grand Djoser et le génial Imhotep). Personnellement , je lui sais ininiment gré de continuer à utiliser les noms propres égyptiens pour les villes , les dieux ... au lieu des noms "grécisés" habituellement employés. Très bon livre donc à mon goût; merci Monsieur Overton. J'attends le livre 2 avec impatience. Seul petit reproche, je n'ai trouvé indiqué nulle part de combien de tomes se constituera cette série .

5.0 out of 5 stars redemption story

Sylvia Kryz is speaking to Vlad Stavrou, a psychologist, explaining what she witnessed: A gleeful young man driving a red car purposefully running into her friend Naomi, a school crossing guard, and six children under the age of seven. All were killed. He only just missed Sylvia because, at age 84, she was a few steps behind them, using her wheelie for support. For the policewoman Jemina Johnson, Sylvia drew several very accurate pictures of the young man’s side features. She wanted to draw his face from the front. That night, she had a dream where she pictured him full-frontal in her room … and he appeared … foul-mouthed and aggressive. After her dream meeting, she drew his frontal face and gave it to Jemina. This strange meeting occurrence reoccurred many times after she initially drew the boy’s image. She learned his name was Chuck, because he made his mother chuck when she was pregnant with him, but Sylvia called him Charlie. She learned he was physically abused at home and didn’t care much about anything but his 6-year-old brother Tommy, who he wanted to protect. During their ‘meetings’ she gave Charlie advice to help him through some of his problems. The police caught Charlie and took Tommy into protective custody. By then, Sylvia’s opinion had changed. She believed Charlie could become a good person. At a memorial meeting for the dead children and Naomi, and after a priest makes statements about vengeance, Sylvia speaks, telling of the violence against Charlie and Tommy, and that violence always begets violence. She suggests a solution—as a community they can teach these boys a better way of life. After her speech, things change but it’s a slow, hard road to follow, and Charlie still faces murder charges and prison. It is surprising who decides to take part in this reclamation, but can they really make a difference in these boys’ lives? Hit and Run is an interesting and beguiling read.

I can't express just how highly impressed I am with Courtney's ability as a writer. Her very first page in this work resonated with me. She was able to capture that with which I'm personally familiar. And, now after being exposed to two of Courtney's novels, I'm amazed at how she keeps the reader enthralled and rewards them with amazing endings. I'm truly a fan, now. I've discovered a writer who isn't recognized nearly enough for her talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Fiction Writers Especially the Focus on Relationships

CPR for Dead or Lifeless Fiction: A Writer's Guide to Deep and Multifaceted Development and Progression of Characters, Plot, and Relationships will soon be a writer's handbook that all of us will want on our shelves. If you like writing craft books that make you feel like the author is in the room with you and teaching you how to make your stories and characters better, then this book is perfect. While reading it, I felt as if Karen was in my living room, giving me advice with her helpful and easy to remember acronyms to keep me from boring my readers into falling asleep instead of turning the pages. Here's a great example: A L I V E, and those letters stand for: Animated (evidence of a spark of life in your characters), Living (not just existing, but living a life full of external and internal conflicts), Interacting (dynamic and believable relationships), Vitality and Voice (3-dimensional character attributes), and finally Engaged (characters with objectives and purpose in the story with defined goals and motivations). So think of some of your favorite characters in the books you read. Are they ALIVE? Now think of your main character--does he or she fit those five characteristics? This is what Karen's book will do for you. Give you helpful tips, like how to diagnose if your characters are ALIVE, and then help you write better characters and plots. The book is divided into seven chapters, plus an intro and conclusion, and then something very valuable--an appendix full of worksheets. I know this is every writer's dream--at least it is mine. Karen includes worksheets for both plot and character development help. Then there are also worksheets on relationship development between your characters. If you are writing a romance, you'll especially want to check out the "Links in the Chain of Romance Relationship Development Chart." If you don't have those links, then your romance readers will not be happy with you! (One picture with this review shows an example of the Appendix worksheets.) Back to the seven chapters--I think one of the most helpful chapters for any writer at any level is at the beginning of the book, chapter one, where Karen helps you with "ten ways to spot dead or lifeless characters, plots, and relationships." And by dead characters--she's not talking about the dead body on page one of a murder mystery. She means your character is just there, existing on the page. With chapter one, you receive 10 points to look for in your manuscript to diagnose what may be wrong with it. Then she goes on to chapter two, where she introduces you to three-dimensional writing and scenes. Karen has a previous book where she talked about those concepts more (Cohesive Story Building). But in CPR, she reviews these strategies for writers, as she gets ready to really dig into your characters (chapter 3), plot (chapter 4), and relationships (chapter 5). I like this book so much because of the relationships' sections. A lot of writing craft books about plot and characters don't spend as much time on examining the relationships in the book. But think about it--when you watch a movie or get hooked on a book series, aren't you very interested in the characters and their relationships? I'll just answer for you--Yes! Han Solo and Princess Leia, Ron and Hermione, and Katniss and Peeta...insert any of your favorites in here, and you'll see what I mean. You want the relationships in your plots to stick in readers' minds like these previous ones did for me. This writer's craft book helps you diagnose what's wrong with your manuscript, and then fix it with tips and advice from Karen. If you're a fiction writer looking to improve your craft as one of your 2021 goals, then CPR for Dead or Lifeless Fiction is for you!

Will Greenway got me started reading ebooks way too many years ago and I haven't stopped since.

This author writes the way I like to read, although I have to admit I've never read anything supernatural before. She doesn't go into lots of description but let's you use your own imagination to decide what things look like surrounding the characters. I hate reading books where they have to describe everything and she doesn't do that. Definitely good for those who like the supernatural!

Book was better than I thought it would be. I liked the world and the cast of characters. I really liked all the man things. And I hope the writer comes up with more stories, set in the world he crafted. I’d get it. It had a classic dungeon crawl feel to it. If that makes sense?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic series, a must read!

I will admit up front that I have not read much Christian fiction. I read the Left Behind series when it was new, but it does not have much re-readability. I tried a science-fiction book years ago, written from a Christian point of view, but it was really not well done. I would imagine that It is hard enough to write a compelling story of fiction that is in itself good enough to enjoy, but to add in Christian elements sometimes just makes the story awkward or preachy. Historical fiction from a Christian point of view may be doable, but it often is simply a romance novel with Biblical moral themes, and likely a read-once type of book. Speculative fiction, creating other worlds of fantasy or science, could be done with Christian beliefs intertwined, but how does one reconcile that with the real world in which the events in the Bible took place? And yet, with all of those arguments stacked against it, author Rick Sutcliffe has managed to create an epic spread out over ten books that involves alternative worlds, science fiction, and historical fiction, all with a decidedly Christian world view. He has created an alternative earth that has technology two centuries beyond our own, which has experienced the effects of a world-devastating biological and nuclear war. Because of this devastation, this world has decided to follow a “Covenant of the Living”, in which mechanized conflict has been outlawed for all reasons, even for wars between nations. Fighting is done only with weapons that can be wielded directly against an opponent (sword, knife, or stick), and those who would use projectile weapons of any kind are shunned and imprisoned. If you will fight, you must deal with your opponent face-to-face. If that’s not unusual enough, in this version of Earth, known as Hibernia, Ireland rules what are in this world the British Isles, and in fact has the international control and influence that exceeds that of the United States in our world. Just like our world, there are those who do not respect or believe in the authority of the Bible or the Church, and work to push forth their own agenda, to try to gain power, wealth and influence in the world. Sutcliffe’s story crosses at times over into some of the other Earths that exist in what is called the Timestream. Our own Earth is one of them, and that Earth is kept ignorant of the Timestream, lest we move over to some of the less-populated versions of Earth and overrun them. One Earth, Water World, consists only of islands and is mostly ocean; another, Desert, still is mostly waste from a more devastating nuclear war than what affected Hibernia. Winding through the volumes are the efforts of those who want to restore the kingship in Hibernia to the moral and just, fighting against those who just want power for themselves. In the first six books of the series, The Peace, The Friends, The Exile, The General, The Nexus, and The Builder, Sutcliffe introduces his characters and tells their stories over more than one time period, intertwining them from chapter to chapter. He starts with the forced exile of Ireland’s King James in 1941, switches to the aftermath of a civil war in Ireland 30 years later, and moves on to some people from Ireland on our Earth in 1941. He continues to weave these stories from different time periods over the subsequent books, gradually revealing more about how they all fit together, and in later books relating the history that brings the reader up to the restoration of the kingship in 2001. The final book of the series, The Throne, became actually four books - Culmanic Parts, Rae’s Blood, Tara’s Mother, and The Paladin. These fill in the rest of the story of the formation of the Ireland on Hibernia that eventually rules the world, and brings it up to the culmination of the revived kingship. I mentioned earlier that the Christian fiction that I have read in the past was not worth a re-read. Sutcliffe’s series has completely turned that around for me. In my opinion, these books are worth several reads, and they contain characters who are compelling, believable, and realistic, and ones that I as a reader really care about. Furthermore, Sutcliffe’s writing not only deals with these characters and how they react to the changes of history and the moral issues each has to face, but also addresses the origin of the world, God’s actions in it, and how those things affect me in this, the real world. Some of the conflicts described reflect some of the anger, hatred, and attitudes towards other ethnic groups that are exploding in 2020 in this real world. Sutcliffe’s Christian believers demonstrate behavior and attitude towards these peoples that are worthy of emulating in this non-fiction world in which we live. Some events in The Nexus describe those who use rioting to move forward their own agenda, another parallel with current events. I would highly recommend each of these books as individually fascinating and compelling stories, and the series as a whole is as fleshed out as the compendium of Tolkien’s stories of Middle Earth. If you as a reader enjoy science fiction, historical fiction, and alternate histories, these books are for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love always wins

This is a sweet romance between Laura, a librarian, and Cliff, a baseball star. Right off, Ms. Andrews shows the attraction between Laura and Cliff. Unlike many romance stories, there is no time when Laura and Cliff are at odds with one another. In the backdrop of Vacation Bible School, planned renovation of a church, solving of a water dispute between Sterling Lakes and Clarke's Falls, care of a boy who lives in a bad home environment and Laura's decision to start a modeling career, the love between Laura and Cliff survives. The author has excellent character development and vivid descriptions of places and people. I have read the first two books of this series and the characters of those stories are mentioned briefly in this third book. This ties the first two books nicely to this third book.

Meanwhile, the kingdoms are beset by internal troubles while the Amorites are pressing hard against the northern borders. Generals Horemheb and Paramessu must fight a war on two fronts while deciding where their loyalties lie–with the former king Smenkhkare or with the new young king in Thebes.

Smenkhkare and Scarab march on Thebes with their native army to meet the legions of Tutankhamen on the plains outside the city gates. As two brothers battle for supremacy and the throne of the Two Kingdoms, the fate of Egypt and the 18th dynasty hangs in the balance.Read More

I read other books that portrayed the characters all to be kind, caring people, and although I am glad I read those books first, I am so thrilled that Max Overton took the time he did to write these books. Of course, there were power struggles and devious plans made to dethrone kings or heirs to the throne. These books delve into the lives of each of these characters and make it all so very real.

Book 4: Scarab-Ay

Tutankhamen is dead and his grieving widow tries to rule alone, but her grandfather Ay has not destroyed the former kings just so he can be pushed aside. Presenting the Queen and General Horemheb with a fait accompli, the old Vizier assumes the throne of Egypt and rules with a hand of hardened bronze. His adopted son, Nakhtmin, will rule after him and stamp out the last remnants of loyalty to the former kings.

Scarab was sister to three kings and will not give in to the usurper and his son. She battles against Ay and his legions under the command of General Horemheb and aided by desert tribesmen and the gods of Egypt themselves. The final confrontation will come in the rich lands of the Nile delta where the future of Egypt will at last be decided.Read More

I loved the historical element in the novel. It does get a little slow when so many battles are going on it is hard to keep track of the names.

Fans of ancient Egyptian history just don't have many options when it comes to nonfiction or fiction. I'm now about to start book 5 in the Scarab series and I hate for it to end. Not only are these books interesting due to the subject matter, they are well written and researched, and the plot fills in the holes of this particular dynastic history in a convincing manner, especially in using Beketaten to tie all the Pharaohs from Akenaten to Horemheb together. I highly recommend this entire series.

Book 5: Scarab-Horemheb

General Horemheb has taken control after the death of Ay and Nakhtmin. Forcing Scarab to marry him, he ascends the throne of Egypt. The Two Kingdoms settle into an uneasy peace as Horemheb proceeds to stamp out all traces of the former kings. He also persecutes the Khabiru tribesmen who were reluctant to help him seize power. Scarab escapes into the desert, where she is content to wait until Egypt needs her.

A holy man emerges from the desert and demands that Horemheb release the Khabiru so they may worship his god. Scarab recognises the holy man and supports him in his efforts to free his people. The gods of Egypt and of the Khabiru are invoked and disaster sweeps down on the Two Kingdoms as the Khabiru flee with Scarab and the holy man. Horemheb and his army pursue them to the shores of the Great Sea, where a natural event…or the very hand of God…alters the course of Egyptian history.Read More

5.0 out of 5 stars For those who are into history I would recommend it very much

My field is ancient history especially Israel and Egypt. I have all six of the books. I was always into the Amarna time period, When I started reading the first one and got into the story I could not put it down til I finished #6. It is a very interesting and partially true and partially fiction, story bringing in aspect of Egyptian and Israel religion. For those who are into history I would recommend it very much.

4.0 out of 5 stars interesting interpretation of history

i found it interesting that the author put Akenaten and Moses as the same person. It was a real twist to the story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the strongest entry of the series

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Books 1-4 are up there as my favorite books in my collection. Book five though got a little long in the tooth and I didn't particularly enjoy the entry of the second 'prophet' that entered the story. Still a decent read overall though.

Great

Another good book in the series. Now on to the final book. Will be quite lost when they are finished.

Just as good as the previous books in the series

Having read all the previous books, this one is just as compulsive. Very well written, with ideas which will challenge your view of traditional stories of the era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book and an excellent read.

Excellent book and an excellent read. Met all my expectations. Amazon's expectations for an 18 word comment is too long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for Book 6!

I got hooked on this series because I love historical fiction and , let's face it , the price was quite reasonable. Max Overton has blown me away. Book 6 is supposed to be coming out sometime, and I will be one of the first to get it. Scarab is a most engaging character. You will find yourself absorbed in the whole series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ancient Egypt.

The series was very interesting but very repetitive in all of the novels following the first book. Interesting but fictional life of the pharaoh's of ancient Egypt

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book in a great series

I've followed the series for years. Max Overton creates a skillful weave of factual history with a compelling fictional story. The books are long but keep the reader immersed in ancient Egypt.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat Soapy

I've read all the Amarna series up to 5. I'm particularly interested in the historical period and have, in fact, done some writing on the subject. The magnification of the otherwise obscure Princess Beketaten as the main character was a strange choice, and turning her into a super-hero warrior princess with a spiritual link to the female British archeologist who "accidently" uncovers and fluently reads aloud thousands of pages of hieroglyphs is a little too contrived for my taste. The translation from New Kingdom "text" to fluid, modern English (complete with contemporary metaphors) leaves a slightly bitter taste. In the early books the characters of King Amenhotep. Queen Tiye, Akhenaten and Nefertiti, (by far the most interesting characters), are flat and superficial. Historically they are the SuperStars yet in the books they simply go through the motions of pique and plot then dissapear or transform into sages or villians. But all the books sparkle into amazing vitality when the writer enters into the military genre. The soldiers and bandits are vivid and alive. Aziru is a living, breathing bad boy, (his struggle in the desert after the loss of his hand is AMAZING WRITING), Horemheb and Ramses have energy and guts and the Hittites kick ass. The battle scenes are exciting and wonderfully engaging. The research is awesome but there are some glaring errors. Pharonic Egypt was innocent of both chickens and camels. I know the difficulties of dealing with publishers and editors. The writer has my sympathy - but how low must you bend? The soap opera taste that keeps emerging.. the saccerine sweet sentimentaliry that interrupts the the narrative and inteferes with motivation cheapens the efforts. And that Welshman is going to die of lung cancer any minute! Give him other identity tags before he drops!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Amarnan Kings Book 5: Scarab-Horemheb

This whole series of books about the Amarnan Dynasties was absolutely wonderful. I had a hard time putting any of the books down. The attention to details made Kemet and all of the characters come to life. I hope the author continues to enthrall us with stories about Ramses the Great sometime soon.

Brilliant Once Again

Once again (as with previous books) Max let me know when this was up on Amazon. I can honestly say I couldn't wait for this to come out and enjoyed this as much as the other books in this series. I love the way Max has written this series of books, for me, he describes the people, areas and whats going on in such detail that I can imagine what the people look like, their feelings and how they are affected by the actions of others. I feel that I have almost watched "Scarab" grow from a young girl to a woman who faces sadness, hardship and joy along the way. The description of the areas that Scarab and her friends encounter is so good I could almost see the places for myself. I know the next book will be the last in this series, and once again can't wait, but Max if you read this, please please write another series along these lines. Thank you once again for a great book that I didn't want to put down!!

Book 6: Scarab-Descendant

Three thousand years after the reigns of the Amarnan Kings, the archaeologists who discovered the inscriptions in Syria journey to Egypt to find the tomb of Smenkhkare and his sister Scarab and the fabulous treasure they believe is there. Unscrupulous men and religious fanatics also seek the tomb, either to plunder it or to destroy it. Can the gods of Egypt protect their own, or will the ancients rely on modern day men and women of science?Read More
