About this audiobook
The sacred cat of Bubastes has accidentally been slain; now young Chebron must pay for the offense with his own life, as this is the law of the Pagans in Egypt, 1250 BC. Chebron, the son of a high Egyptian priest, flees for his life, taking his sister Mysa, one of the household slaves Amuba, and several companions with him. They escape through closely guarded Egyptian exits only to find themselves in unfamiliar and dangerous lands inhabited by a very different culture of people. Along the way, the roving band of refugees encounters and befriends a Hebrew girl, who exposes them to very strange ideas, including the worship of "one true God."
This arduous journey through time, customs, and religion provides an adventurous and accurate insight into the ancient people of Egyptian history.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5We listened to an audio book of this tape. It was excellent. Tied in with Egypt, the Bible (during the time of Moses). Very interesting.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book started out slowly. I was previewing it to see if it would be suitable for my son in his studies. It did have loads of information on ancient Egypt. Finally about halfway through, it took off and was hard to put down.Henty put forth an interesting idea of how God revealed himself in ancient times and how anyone, if they were seeking truth could find Him.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pretty good book that lets you discover quite a bit about Ancient Egypt, if you can pull the fact from the fiction, and a generally nice story. The language makes reading this book a little tiring, but it was written quite a while ago so that's understandable. My only complaint is that I wish there was more character development, especially towards the end, where a romance that's never discussed is just suddenly presented to you.
