The Pyramid Builders, Book 1: Djoser Kindle Edition
With internal divisions threatening to splinter the kingdom and external enemies watching closely, Djoser relies on a handful of trusted advisors--and his own strength of will--to navigate the fragile balance of power. Under his reign, the concept of the pyramid begins to take form, setting in motion a revolution in royal tomb building that will define Egypt for centuries.
Grounded in historical research and rich in cultural detail, Djoser opens The Pyramid Builders series with a compelling portrait of one of Egypt's earliest and most influential kings.

About the author

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 comme d'habitude
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseComme dans ses précédentes séries égyptiennes (Hyksos , Scarab ...), l'auteur nous emmène dans un récit palpitant consacré cette fois aux bâtisseurs de pyramides.
M Overton s'est une nouvelle fois très bien documenté sur le sujet et nous permet de voir revivre le grand Djoser et le génial Imhotep).
Personnellement , je lui sais ininiment gré de continuer à utiliser les noms propres égyptiens pour les villes , les dieux ... au lieu des noms "grécisés" habituellement employés.
Très bon livre donc à mon goût; merci Monsieur Overton.
J'attends le livre 2 avec impatience.
Seul petit reproche, je n'ai trouvé indiqué nulle part de combien de tomes se constituera cette série .
