Nick Drake, as with the previous two, "Nefertiti" and "Tutankhamun," captures well the spirit, the landscape and atmosphere, and the suspense of the time and place of that historically significant age. Drake's Rahotep is a fascinating, and fully developed, central character, a "police procedural," as it were, set within the excitement, the political maneuverings, and history-setting situations of the time. Rahotep is also human and suffers the same feelings, successes, and failures of ordinary human beings. His role as a Medjay policeman offers him unique challenges--and dangers. After all, it was a dangerous time. Tutankhamun, the Boy Pharoah, has died (and under mysterious circumstances) and the whole kingdom is teetering on revolution, treason, and great upheaval. His widow, the Queen Ankhesenamun, has employed (and implored) Rahotep's assistance. The intrigue grows from here--and the plot becomes, of course, deadly. General Horemheb is poised to take over, to implement martial law, and destroy the dynasty. Drake's book is filled with political intrigue (setting up an alliance with archenemy the Hittites to consolidate the queen's power and thus foil Horemheb's plans, among others. (Historians know the real results, of course.) One doesn't have to be a history buff to appreciate, even to enjoy, this novel (although it helps to know a little about the history of this time). It was with a welcome moment when I found this, the third, book published. Here's to more of Rahotep, Mr. Drake. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020* I was not aware this was part of a series. It is well written and had an interesting plot. I would like to have read the others too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A well-paced, historically-set thriller in Pharaonic Egypt *by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2017* Already knew about the historical circumstances and core event, but that didn't have a spoiler effect on my enjoyment.The archaeological history only verifies the event took place, which allows this tale to claim historicity. It's a thriller, made possible because we don't know about a historical Rahotep, and therefore about this character, or his personal destiny in the matter. Well-written in first-person. Characters are well-developed, pace crisp, settings realistic, behavior believable for the time. Extensive violence and moderate sexuality which are appropriate (not gratuitous) to the setting and plot. Point-of-View through the clinical eyes and mind of the protagonist who is a government detective with a solid family life and earned credibility at all levels of society. I read it in about a week, in snatches of free time, and eagerly looked forward to resuming each day. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/17445415-egypt-the-book-of-chaos-a-mystery-rahotep-series-3](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/17445415-egypt-the-book-of-chaos-a-mystery-rahotep-series-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
