– James Fox leser dramatisk og godt denne boken, og Wilbur Smith skuffer som vanlig ikke. Spenningen følger leseren hele veien fra perm til perm, eller her: fra cd til cd. Det er kanskje lurt å ha lest om evenukken Tahita før, men det er ikke noe must. Handlingen foregår under andre verdenskrig, der Duraid Ai Simmu og hans kone Royan er på sporet av skatter fra Tahitas tid. Dette er dyrebare skatter som for enhver pris må sikres Egypt, i et kappløp der den griske fienden har flere forsprang. Så absolutt en spennende reise i praktfulle Egypt. Leseren krysser fingrene til de siste ord!
The seventh scroll
For fire tusen år siden begravet slaven Taita sin herskerinne, dronning Lostris. I veggene i gravkammeret gjemmer han ti skriftruller. Duraid Al Simmu og hans hustru klarer å tyde rullene, men den syvende består av gåter og rebuser. Les mer
Medlemsvurdering:
I have read this book about 4 times which tells you how much I loved it. Smith has written a beautiful, adventerous story about love, greed, death and courage. It takes place in a few different places, starting in Egypt, moving its way to England and then to Ethiopia. Wilbur Smith created wonderful characters, both lovable and detestable. The basic plot of the story is that a tomb found in Egypt reveals seven scrolls, the last scroll containing cryptic clues to the burial site of an ancient king. Two people come together, one a woman from Egypt and a man from England, and struggle against the power and corruption of a lunatic multi-millionare to find the burial site and the treasures that lie within. After reading most of Smiths books to date, I have to say that this is one of my favourite. I really enjoyed this book. Read it...ArneZ
