Query: Not his best.....still a big fan....still read it.

I have read a dozen of wilbur smiths novels and will continue to the read the ballyntine saga, although I was very disappointed in this one. It was slow, too detailed, harder to follow and didn't live up to any of the courtney novels, the egyptian novels or the previous ballyntine novel....However, you still have to read this book, the entire saga is awesome, the characters grow on you and he brings the land alive.....
