501 PAGES of WARLOCK. Finished reading it finally!! Wow! It took me 21 hours. OMG! What a shocking story of how Pharaoh passed their throne from heir to heir and then the throne had been taken and stolen by diabolical traitors who were cunning, wicked and evil wanting to be the new rulers and because they thought the past Pharaohs are not godly enough to rule. When Egyptians & Hyksos run in their bloods. A blood mixture of deep seated hatred, vengeance and what else could be running in their blood rage? The novel WARLOCK is almost historical on its account, as usual very descriptive, vivid and vibrant almost a motion picture while reading the whole story. How and why sisters & brothers, cousins are fighting bloody hell and how and why Taita also had to play the hard way to survive and be the "keeper of the Nile and the Kingdom of Egypt." Taita has to compromise with the false Pharaoh who gained the throne after murderous treachery in order to keep alliance and save the right hand future Pharaoh. The battle between good and evil was simply introduced in this greatest novel of famous author Wilbur Smith.
What has been tackled in this novel is what WAR is all about.
It's no difference to what war is going on in today's generation.
WAR is an invasion of land by force & because of too much excessive REVENGE & GREED FOR POWER.
Invasion and acquisition of land and its country's wealth. It involves massive deaths. It caused so much suffering, assault on women and children including the pregnant women, injury, famine, hunger, poverty, plagues, disaster and pandemic. Captured enemies are then used as slaves (or prisoners left to die if they have no used for them) or some of the strong men forced to employ in the regiment as lesser rank soldiers.
