The Quest --- by --- Wilbur Smith. This isn’t my first brush with Wilbur but for sure, I hope it won’t be my last. The place is ancient Egypt. The Nile, the river that nourishes Egypt has, mysteriously, virtually dried up. Pharaoh sends Taita the Magus on a mission upriver to discover the cause of this calamity. It is here, on the flanks of a volcano that Taita confronts the wicked, evil creature whom he finally manages to overcome. That, in a very small nut shell, is it. There’s adventure, swordplay, blood, gore, and magic all between one set of covers. It’s a shame the book’s only five hundred pages short. Reading that’s enjoyable to the nth degree.
