After reading River God I had to jump right back in to another great Wilbur Smith book. It ties in nicely with River God - both are excellent books although I enjoyed Rived God slightly more. Wilbur Smith's books are great I just wish I had time to read them all.

I loved river god, my favorite book ever...and i have to say though i was skeptical about reading this one (thinking it would surely be a disappointment since it was not dealing with our original characters) i must admit, it was really quite captivating and very very good. I loved feeling as if i was somehow in the know having read River God and being ever so slightly two steps ahead of the characters in the story, while unsure what would happen next! But I was really glad i finally did read this book, and i am intending to read warlock too as soon as i can!

Description does not state Abridged or Unabridged. Be warned this is the Abridged version.

Because of uniqueness of this novel, please read the River of God and the sequel before enjoying the Seventh Scroll... hope you are enjoying these three books as much as I did!

I am a big fan of Smith's River God, Seventh Scroll, and Warlock.
The Seventh Scroll is the sequel to River God, and deals with modern day historian/archeologists who discover scrolls written by our hero Taita, who was a beloved friend/advisor of Queen Lostris in ancient Egypt.
Deciphering Taita's code brings us firmly back to Taita's world and wit and cunning - The modern characters stand up to the ancient characters, and as all Smith works, leaves you wanting for more.
The next sequel in this series is Warlock. Hopefully there will be more novels with Taita...

Aside from the fact that I have not yet finished "The Seventh Scroll", I can justifiably say Smith's style of writing is the epitome of superb English. His selective diction & distinct atmosphere compliments the scintillating plot which makes "The Seventh Scroll" one of the most worthwhile novels I have ever read. Good Job!

I thought this was a real page-turner. Lots of edge-of-your-seat material. Really really good.

I get into archeology, especially in Egypt, so I enjoyed this book and "River God" immensely. Wilbur Smith is an excellent writer who makes you believe the characters really lived at one point in history.
