From Prison to Power A Tale of Intrigue and Adventure in Ancient Times Paul Duevel says, "In his "Scroll of Naska Series" author Martin Shapiro transports the reader to the Middle East of 1600 BC. I found myself quickly caught up in the fascinating culture of these Biblical times and places, and was reluctant to put it down for fear of breaking the spell. Naska's story is filled with passion, cunning and violence. Life in this era was not for the meek, and Shapiro captures this essence with many scenes of love, hate and revenge. I can't wait for the next in the series " The Pharaoh's government is in transition. Joseph is appointed Grand Vizier to prepare Egypt for the coming famine. His surprise elevation suddenly demotes others. Enemies lurk. Then High Priest Haroun dies. The Karnak Temple is in turmoil. Men of vision see opportunities and threats. Conspiracies abound. Some seek power, some fortune. Others seek the return of pride. Power and fortune have no greater rival than pride. Joseph Reigns continues our incredible journey through the translation of Shapiro's Scroll of Naska, an imagined pre-biblical text, discovered in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm. This Scroll, dictated by Naska, the Midianite that bought Joseph as a slave from his brothers, offers new details of this well-known story after 3600 years of darkness and mystery. Witness the drama, Ride in the action, Revel in the romance, Wince at the cruelty, Laugh at the humor. Life was as it is today The truth might surprise you."
