Preview: Hear it

A young scribe with revenge on his mind. A pharaohs war for the honor of Egypt. An actionpacked tale from ancient history. During a picnic overlooking the Nile, 14yearold scribe Nebi spots the riders first. Led by the treacherous Count Nimlot, the raiding party slaughters Nebis master, the regions head of police. Although wounded, Nebi knowing that the pharaohs northern territory is no longer secure escapes as the only living witness. Nebi is quickly catapulted into events that will change history. Set in 728 B.C., Rise of the Golden Cobra surrounds the actual reign of Pharaoh Piankhy, the brilliant and compassionate leader whose astonishing campaign united ancient Egypt. Nebis adventures take him to the court of Piankhy himself, to friendship with feisty Prince Shebitku, and to war. Fierce battles culminate in the siege of Memphis, where Nebi finally confronts Nimlot and his own desire for revenge. Wellserved by the pharaohs honorable example, Nebi finds release in letting Nimlot live. Meanwhile, Piankhys victory unites North and South Egypt, making him the one true pharaoh entitled to wear the golden cobra crown. Bursting with action and political intrigue, and rich in historical detail and dramatic illustrations, Rise of the Golden Cobra is an epic adventure for the ages.
