Why read it?
1 author picked A God Against the Gods as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When I first pitched my book to my agent, he recommended I read this novel, as it was his favorite novel written about ancient Egypt.
I took his advice and was immediately drawn into Ake Akhenaten's story. I’ve long been fascinated by this particular Pharaoh for many reasons, but mostly because he dared to challenge the priestly class.
This is a novel that sweeps you right into the hot sands of his city and makes you long to have been there, in the court, as he struggled to bring his god, Aten, to his people.
From Nicole's list on ancient Egypt and the Ptolemaic dynasty.
