THE 4TH INSTALLMENT OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN
________________________________________________________________
Wilbur Smith returns with the eagerly awaited next installment in his thrilling Egyptian series. Following on from River God, The Seventh Scroll, and Warlock, The Quest continues the story of the Warlock, Taita, wise in the lore of the Gods and master of magic and the superntural.
Egypt is struck by a series of terrible plagues that cripple the Kingdom, and then the ultimate disaster follows the Nile fails. The water that nourish and sustain the land dry up. Something catastrophic is taking place in the distant and totally unexplored depths of Africa from where the mighty river springs. In desperation Pharoah sends for Taita, the only man who might be able to win through to the source of the Nile and discover the cause of all their woes. But none have any idea of what a terrible enemy lies in the ambush for the Warlock in those myterious lands at the end of their world.

Authors Note:I want my reader to
remember that BULONG is a work of fiction. Many of places that i have written
about do exist, but the others never did. Likewise, most of my characters are
fictitious - even the word BULONG lives only in my imagination.
