Hyksos Series, Book 2: Conquest: A Novel of Ancient Egypt (Hyksos Series, Ancient Egyptian Novels) Kindle Edition

by Max Overton (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 9 ratings
The Hyksos invade the Delta using the new weapons of bronze and chariots, things of which the Egyptians have no knowledge. They rout the Delta forces, and in the south, the unconquered kings ready their armies to defend their lands. Meanwhile in Avaris, Merybaal, the son of Harrubaal and Kemi, strives to defend his family in a city conquered by the Hyksos.
Elements of the Delta army that refuse to surrender continue the fight for their homeland, and new kings proclaim themselves as the inheritors of the failed kings of Avaris. One of these is Amenre, grandson of Merybaal, but he is forced into hiding as the Hyksos sweep all before them, bringing their terror to the kingdom of the Nile valley. Driven south in disarray, the survivors of the Egyptian army seek leaders who can resist the enemy...

Max is a published author of varying genres including historicals, a contemporary thriller, and a western.

He has lived all over the world, from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to Townsville, Queensland, Australia; from Gerrard’s Cross in England to Kingston, Jamaica; from Düsseldorf in Germany to Wellington, New Zealand; from Antwerp in Belgium to Collinsville, Illinois, USA.

Max has a Master’s degree, with Honours, in Plant Physiology, and has worked as a university lecturer and demonstrator, a research scientist, a school teacher, a technician, a quotes officer for a microscopy supply house, an assistant manager at Walmart and Max has even caught bumblebees for a living.

Max's main occupation these days is as an author. Having always had a great love of history and recently discovering writing, it made perfect sense combining the two, writing historical fiction – from ancient Egypt to World War II – but he is not limited to that genre. He has also tried his hand at horror, paranormal and westerns, and has plans to write fantasy and science fiction.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Max Nails It Again-Brilliant Book
    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2020
    Format: Kindle
    I find this book to be brilliant. I love how Max wove Neferit, a favorite fictional character of mine from another of Max’s series, into the storyline. She is magnificent!!! I also like how she was exposed, forgiven and kept as a charioteer. The reference of women up north who also could drive made her acceptance believable.

    Women in ancient Egypt did have power especially those of noble blood and some held high ranking positions as has been discovered in archeological digs. The recent discovery of Hepset is an example and a queen’s palace indicating her as a ruler in the excavation of the Giza workman’s village headed by Mark Lehner’s team is another.

    Anyway, I was captivated from the beginning: the mention of past characters woven into the story, the connection to the family of those characters, and the introduction of Neferit all blended to make a fun and captivating read. Neferit brought relief and interest from the constant plotting and waging of war. She moved the story forward with intrigue and daring. But also a chuckle or two. Pairing her up with Sadiki is also a brilliant move. An ideal partner and friend.

    The way Max brought to light the numerous kings during that time was done in a way that gives the reader the gist of the quick turn around and origin without getting bogged down in too much detail really worked. I was aware of the passage of time and knew I was skipping periods of unknowns but it didn’t make me feel like I missed anything important. Max does this several times and each time it is effective.

    All in all this is another award quality book in my humble opinion.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A lot of grammatical errors
    Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2022

    I’m currently on the sixth of this series so I’m sticking with it because I’m invested in the story. However, all of the books so far are filled with spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors which is rather unexpected for a published book. I feel these books were rushed to production.
