"The African hero of the Trojan War and the keys to ancient world civilization"--P. facing T.p.
He lived in the shadow of kings. One trusted him with his empire; the other feared his every move. Memnon of Rhodes (375-333 BC) walked in the footsteps of giants. As a soldier, sailor, statesman and general, he was, in the words of Diodorus of Sicily, "outstanding in courage and strategic grasp." A contemporary of Demosthenes and Aristotle, Memnon rose from humble origins to command the whole of western Asia in a time of strife and slaughter. To his own people, he was a traitor, to his rivals, a mercenary. But, to the King of Kings, his majesty Darius III of Persia, Memnon was the one man capable of defending Asia Minor from the rising power of the barbaric Macedonians. In a war pitting Greek against Greek, Memnon proved his quality beyond measure. His enemies fought for glory and gold; Memnon fought for something more: for loyalty, for honour, and for duty. He fought for the love of Barsine, a woman of remarkable beauty and grace, but most of all, he fought for the promise of peace. Through the deathbed recollections of a mysterious woman, the life of Memnon unfolds with brilliant clarity. It is a record of his triumphs and tragedies, his loves and losses, and of the determination that drove him to stand against the most renowned figure of the ancient world - an ambitious and brilliant young conqueror called Alexander the Great.
Tanus is the fair-haired young lion of a warrior whom the gods have decreed will lead Egypt's army in a bold attempt to reunite the Kingdom's shattered halves. But Tanus will have to defy the same gods to attain the reward they have forbidden him, an object more prized than battle's glory: possession of the Lady Lostris, a rare beauty with skin the color of oiled cedar--destined for the adoration of a nation, and the love of one extraordinary man. International bestselling author Wilbur Smith, creator of over two dozen highly acclaimed novels, draws readers into a magnificent, richly imagined Egyptian saga. Exploding with all the drama, mystery, and rage of ancient Egypt, River God is a masterpiece from a storyteller at the height of his powers.
Nimrod The Hunter: The biblical hero returns in a stunning new epic historical fantasy adventure. Gregory "Brother G" Walker, winner of the 2009 Octavia Butler Humanitarian Award for Shades Of Memnon, expands the African Legends genre with another exciting action adventure. Like Shades Of Memnon, which recovers the tradition of the African hero from the Trojan War, Nimrod The Hunter reaches back into time, drawing upon ancient lore to present a new epic interpretation of Nimrod, the mighty hunter before the Lord from Genesis 10. Great for schools and bible study courses, Nimrod The Hunter is another mix of history, spirituality and martial arts action from Brother G.
In world history there has never been a national hero celebrated for as long nor revered as much as Ancient Egypt's Queen Mother Ahmesh Nefertari. She was a real African heroine who changed the course of history. Temples still stand in her honor after 3000 years, yet she has been ignored in the annals of modern storytelling until this groundbreaking expansion of the “African Legends” genre. Drawing on cutting edge historical research and the author's first-hand experience in the reemerging Ausarian-Kemetic spiritual system, this is volume one of a stunning, action packed fantasy fiction homage to this great ancestress.

An accessible anthology of the greatest ancient Greek myths and legends for readers of all ages by the celebrated classicist and historical novelist. According to the myths, gods and goddesses of ancient Greece lived on Mount Olympus and ruled the world of mortals. Famous heroes shaped the course of history, beautiful women drew the gazes of gods and men alike, and the gods were both fickle in their favors and breathtakingly generous to those they smiled upon. From Midas’s tragic gift to the exploits of Hercules and the curse of Pandora, Robert Graves brings the legends of ancient Greece to life in a way that’s sure to appeal to everyone; from children to adults, and from casual readers to serious scholars. “Directly told, with no attempt to oversimplify them, a good deal of the symbolism and the association with the pattern of ancient Greece survives.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review).
