Su joven esposa Anjesenamón debe actuar rápido si quiere conservar un trono que es legítimamente suyo. Mientras en la corte se rumorea sobre los posibles sucesores, y cobra cada vez más fuerza el nombre del ambicioso general Horemheb, la reina escribe una comprometida carta y la confía a uno de los últimos hombres fieles de su dinastía... la dinastía de Ajnatón, Nefertiti y Tutankhamón. En manor de Rahotep, el mejor buscador de misterios de la policía tebana, está ahora el destino de Egipto. This is the third installment in Drake's Egypt series featuring the Medjay investigator Rahotep. As with the first two books, Drake's vivid descriptions and thorough details bring ancient Egypt to life, and he continues to depict complex characters that the reader will root for, but not always agree with. This is especially true with the main character Rahotep. Unlike the first two books, the majority of this book does not take place in Egypt, but in the Hittite empire and surrounding territories. I did not like the direction that Rahotep's character took; he became too hard to sympathize with at times. Also, the reveal of the ultimate villian behind the opium ring seemed rushed and out-of-character, as though this character was chosen to be the villian purely for shock value. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

The future of Egypt lies in the hands of the Medjay's chief detective Rahotep in the final, gripping installment of Nick Drake's acclaimed Ancient Egyptian trilogy. Following Nefertiti and Tutankhamun, Egypt: The Book of Chaos puts Rahotep on a high-stakes adventure across enemy empires and rogue states on a top-secret mission to secure the fate of the dynasty. Readers of Stacy Schiff's Cleopatra and anyone fascinated by ancient cultures and unspoken secrets will be instantly drawn in by Drake's magisterial recreation of one of history's great unsolved mysteries. Incorporating his own research through the sites, monuments, ruins, and museums of Egypt, Drake brings vividly back to life an era long ago swallowed by the shifting sands of time in this powerful novel of loyalty, ambition, struggle, and destiny.
