“A thrilling historical adventure that evokes the blood, swords and sand of Ancient Egypt with a gratifying sense of authenticity.” – Tom Mead, author of Death and the Conjuror and The Murder Wheel
“This is the first novel by Thomas Krug that I have read and it certainly won’t be my last. Pisaqar and his Desert Mice – special forces of their day – embark upon the sort of mission that fans of derring-do in any era will really get behind. The characters are vibrantly drawn and leap from the page, whilst the arid landscapes are so vivid that my throat felt parched and I could feel the sand in my eyes as I read. This is historical fiction as the gods intended!” – Mark Knowles, author of the Blades of Bronze series
“Non-stop action and gripping adventure in ancient Egypt. As sharp as a bronze khopesh, Thomas Krug’s writing cuts deep into the history of a land torn apart by the jealous rulers of warring empires.” – Matthew Harffy, author of Wolf of Wessex and the Bernicia Chronicles
