Ramesses II

Ramesses II was a pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty and one of the most extensively commemorated rulers of ancient Egypt. He fought the Hittites at Kadesh, later concluded a major peace treaty and filled Egypt with temples, statues and inscriptions presenting a long and victorious reign.

In Christian Jacq’s Secrets of the Desert, Pazair’s investigation continues as the conspiracy against Ramesses II spreads through officials, temples and hidden desert routes. In Christian Jacq’s Shadow of the Sphinx, Pazair reaches the final stage of his confrontation with the forces trying to corrupt the state and endanger Ramesses II. Other novels featuring Ramesses II include Christian Jacq’s Ramses: The Son of Light, Michelle Moran’s The Heretic Queen, Christian Jacq’s Ramses: The Temple of a Million Years, Christian Jacq’s Ramses: Under the Western Acacia, and Christian Jacq’s The Lady of Abu Simbel.
