Marcus van Heller's Roman Orgy skillfully captured the savage, sprawling epic of the rebellion of the slaves led by Spartacus, and the tragic failure of their rise against the Roman Empire. Now, in The Loins of Amon, the same scholarly acumen is again evident as van Heller brings to life ancient Egypt, with the bizarre religious rites of the Pharaohs, and the story of one man's struggle against cruelty! Based on years of historical and archaeological research by this well-known novelist, who is, at the same time, a famous authority in this particular field, The Loins of Amon is a superb re-creation of a turbulent era.
