One of the world's most acclaimed adventure writers returns to the world of ancient Egypt with the stunning sequel to the New York Times best-selling River God.

After the death of his beloved Queen Lostris, Taita retreats into the forbidding deserts of North Africa to become a hermit. He devotes himself to the study of the occult and, armed with extraordinary powers, he gradually transforms himself into a warlock. After years of study, he discovers the divine purpose of his bereavement when he is called upon to save the dynasty of Lostris from the clouds of evil that loom over Egypt.

Exploding with all the drama, mystery, and passion of a bygone time, Warlock is a masterpiece from a storyteller at the height of his powers.

Doesn’t disappoint in any way. Tiata is back and even better great to see this story continue

Great series.

This book has a good story line, although it was somewhat predictable. I really like Wilbur Smith, but he is 'over the top' in graphic violence and sexual content. In most cases it did little to enhance the novel, and seemed so unnecessary (such as ripping babies from the womb). If you have sensitive dispositions, avoid this book. If you can overlook the violence, it is a good book to read

Graphic Violence and Sexual Content

Warlock is a book of history and fiction and just a small touch of magic and mysticism. Nefer the grandson of Queen Lostris, is in a battle against the forces of evil and Taita is summoned from beyond to aid the Pharaoh Nefer in defeating a usurper Pharaoh. A great narration from Dick Hill brings life to an already brilliant story. Wilbur Smith mixes history with fiction and entertains and thrills are boundless in Warlock.

I'd give it 3.7. Smith writes well, especially of battles and sex. I hoped for more history, and not just of elites. Also, for me the magical element got in the way. But it's entertaining, and Hill's reading is competent.

A good tale

I loved 'The River God', and hoped Wilbur Smith would write a sequel. Even though all his peeps were gone, I wanted to know what Taita did in his later years! 'Warlock" certainly tells that. The characters are true, the writing fluid and fluent, the story engrossing, just not quite as enthralling as 'River God'. They're great together though!

I wanted this, but was a little disappointed ...

Gripping story. Wilbur Smith paints a picture like no other. The narrator was superb and he made each character come to vivid life.

Exceptional Listening!

Loved River God, but the supernatural aspects of Taita took away from the resourcefulness of him in the first book.

I was a great story. The narrator is very good and makes the book come alive with realistic voices.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This series takes place in a time where people were fodder and unless you were a powerful individual your life was in the hands of those who do have the power. Violence and brutality was something that happened regularly. Wilbur Smith doesn't cut corners on it. If you can't handle this kind of in your face horror, then don't listen to this series. Men, Women, children were all used in ways that would make the Holocaust look like camp. This is the way life was 6000 years ago.

Any additional comments?

Taita, a eunuch, in this series grows in each book. The stories and histories of Egypt that Wilbur Smith paints with his words are cruel, but memorizing. I've listened to this series more than once, and each book Taita grows into a stronger and more powerful, and influential person in Egypt.

Warning the much violence
