Publisher's Summary

She glanced down at the drawer in which she kept all her floppy disks. That and all the other drawers had been pulled out and thrown on the floor. They were empty, of course; along with the disks, all her notebooks and photographs were missing. Her last connections with the seventh scroll were lost. After three years of work, gone was the proof it had ever existed.

A hunt for treasure. A battle to stay alive.

When Royan Al Simma is the victim of a vicious attack that leaves her husband dead, her only thought is that she must continue their joint work: to use the secrets of the seventh scroll to find the hidden tomb of Pharaoh Mamose and its untold trove of lost Egyptian riches. To do so, she must bury her grief and partner with the eccentric aristocrat Nicholas Quenton-Harper, a man who shares her passion for the ancient world.

But the men who killed her husband are not yet finished. As Royan and Nicholas draw closer to the Pharaoh's tomb, enemies are gathering - people who will stop at nothing to ensure the scroll's promised treasures are kept from Roman's hands....

the Seventh Scroll

I've loved this story since I first read it in hard cover many years ago. The story is intriguing, keeps you wanting to keep reading and having a great story line. There are twists and moments of high tension and a descriptive story of peril and success.
Wilbur Smith is a favourite author.

Another great read.

Was going to give the narrator 4 stars as the voice of Nicholas, one of the main characters sounded pompous & not very manly, but this narrator is so good, he didn't deserve to be marked less than 5 stars.

Excellent story, awesome performance

I’ve read the book and loved it. Thought I’d listen to it this time, and so glad I did. The narrator does an amazing job with all the character accents. Thoroughly enjoyable and recommendable.
Thanks

Chapters

The book should have “chapters” It would make it easier to find your place when you accidentally hit the wrong button and loose your place,or when the program loses your place for you and takes you back to the beginning.
