The Sea People, a collection of disparate tribes living in the
Mediterranean Basin, are causing chaos. Cities are being plundered
and shipping captured or destroyed. Pirate activity decimates
essential sea-borne trade. Ramesses appoints Nikolas, the 'Friend
of Pharaoh', to the unfamiliar role of ambassador to co-ordinate
action with the Achaeans and the Hittites to mitigate the ravages
of the savage raiders and try to stave off a Dark Age when empires
fall and civilisation collapses. Nikolas cuts like a knife through
the society, politics, religion and beliefs of Ancient Egypt. With
the prosperity of both the kmet of Egypt and his own fortunes at
risk, Nikolas weaves a coalition from traditional foes and leads
the attack against the enemy. Campbell weaves strong characters,
historical detail and descriptive writing into a spellbinding
story, making history come alive on the page.
