by Pauline Gedge
- 6 Want to read
"The Hyksos - interlopers from Asia Minor with Cretan and Minoan trading connections - ruled Egypt for over two hundred years, after the end of the Middle Kingdom. Seqenenra Tao of Weset roused the native princes to rebellion but died before they could achieve success. His second son, Kamose, assumed command and led a sweep up the Nile to the Hyksos Pharoah's delta stronghold. Then Kamose was assassinated by his own allies, and young Ahmose, the surviving Tao prince, was wounded.".
"In The Horus Road it is the women of the Tao family who must hold the native forces together until Ahmose recovers and, ultimately, leads the Egyptians to triumph." "The Horus Road concludes a trilogy, beginning with The Hippopotamus Marsh, followed by The Oasis, that brings to vivid life the passions and intrigues which ushered in the great Eighteenth Dynasty."--BOOK JACKET.
