Customer Reviews

River god,Brilliant
Someone lent me this book to read because they liked it,it was the start of a long long reading experience, I just couldn't put it down and I ended up reading the whole series.Anyone who doesn't like it must lack imagination of this epic story.Totally loved it.

One of my favourite books of all time
A cleverly written book that will make you think you're reading fact not fiction. The real life settings supported by the obvious extensive research that the author has undertaken.

Read this then read "The Seventh Scroll". Truly enchanting and gripping stuff!

Enthralling
I returned from a Nile Cruise captivated by the history of Egypt and someone leant me a copy of The Quest. On examination I discovered that this was the 4th of a series, so embarked on a journey starting with River God. This is the first Wilbur Smith book I've read and I was impressed. A good story, well written and from what I can make out from my limited knowledge, historically accurate. At 672 pages, a fairly long read, so will probably leave it a couple of books before I resume my journey with The Seventh Scroll. But still looking forward to it.
