Egypt: the book of chaos


by Nick Drake


Chaos threatens Egypt in this the last book of Drake's trilogy, after Nefertiti and Tutankhamun. After the death of Tutankhamun, Nefertiti is faced with dangers from outside and inside Egpyt. She summons Rahotep, the disgraced chief detective of the Theban police. She sends Rahotep and her special envoy, Nakht, to the King of the Hittites. Nefertiti hopes to end their constant warfare by marrying one of the Hittite Princes. This would bring peace to Egypt and allow the Hittite Empire to expand to the East. But both Hittite Princes and Egyptian generals are against this peace proposal. Will Rahotep be able to keep the Hittite Prince alive until they get to Egypt? Will he be able to save Nefertiti and his family?
