About the Books
The Egyptian Series is one of Wilbur Smith's longest-running and most beloved sagas, tracing the fortunes of Ancient Egypt across generations of pharaohs, warriors, and schemers. This collection picks up the story with Pharaoh, first published in 2016, which plunges readers into palace conspiracies and desert warfare as a kingdom teeters on the edge of collapse. The New Kingdom, Titans of War, Testament, and House of Two Pharaohs continue the saga's momentum, co-written with novelist Mark Chadbourn, who has carried the torch for later installments while preserving Smith's signature blend of meticulous historical detail and breathless pacing. Across these five novels, readers travel from royal courts to battlefields, from temple intrigue to the shifting sands of the desert, encountering characters whose loyalties are tested by ambition, love, and the relentless demands of power. Smith's Ancient Egypt is never static; it is a living, breathing world where dynasties rise and fall, where scholars and soldiers alike shape the course of history. Longtime readers of the series will appreciate the continuity of tone and stakes, while newcomers can still find their footing thanks to the vivid world-building that anchors each book. Together, these five paperbacks offer one of historical fiction's most rewarding reading journeys, ideal for anyone drawn to epic tales of empire, adventure, and survival along the banks of the Nile.
