The Seventh Scroll

by Wilbur Smith

The Seventh Scroll Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For 4,000 years, the lavish crypt of the Pharaoh Mamose has never been found...until the Seventh Scroll, a cryptic message written by he slave Taita, gives beautiful Egyptologist Royan Al Simma a tantalizing clue to its location.

But this is a treasure cache others would kill to possess. Only one step ahead of assassins, Royan runs for her life and into the arms of the only man she can trust, Sir Nicholas Quenton-Harper-a daring man who will stake his fortune and his life to join her hunt for the king's tomb. Together, they will embark on a breathtaking journey to the most exotic locale on earth, where the greatest mystery of ancient Egypt, a chilling danger and an explosive passion are waiting.

Steeped in ancient mystery, drama and action, The Seventh Scroll is a masterpiece from a storyteller at the height of his powers.

This book should be made into a movie! It's the only one of the series which is set in present day, as well as 4,000 years ago. It describes the search for ancient Egyptian treasures, where the heroes have to contend with unscrupulous and powerful men who want the treasure for themselves, and use cryptic writings to locate the treasure and avoid booby traps.
