Story4.5 out of 5 stars 26
More than one hundred years after Columbus blundered onto Hispaniola, the West Indies are held in Spain's iron fist, and no threat to that absolute rule is tolerated. But such total control cannot last, and one threat will emerge as the most dangerous of all: the buccaneers. Camped on the shore of Hispaniola, these half-wild men eke out a living hunting the island's feral livestock. Among them, Jean-Baptiste LeBoeuf lives out his exile, content that no one in the hunters' camp is curious about his past. But when a hurricane sweeps through the Caribbean, it upends their rough existence.

Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

A Classic interpretation of a Classic tale
- By John on 08-11-03
Publisher's summary
Sailing home from Ta Netjer, Pharaoh Hatshepsut falls ill from a wound suffered in the Forest of Myrrh. In the barren plains of Sinai, Pharaoh Thutmose’s reverence and bravery inspire the vaunted charioteers who form the maryannu to decide that Thutmose should rule the Two Lands alone.
Caught between irresistible forces, Imhotep finds himself fighting to save his daughter and the future of the Two Lands. Years later, as Pharaoh Thutmose mounts an attack against the King of Kadesh, Imhotep is forced to fight to save himself and everything that he treasures.
In this final story, the aging scribe, physician, and architect draws close to the Field of Reeds, eternal resting place of the ancient Egyptians, and the secret of his life is revealed.
The Field of Reeds is the concluding novel in the highly praised series of books about Imhotep. Books in the series are Imhotep, The Buried Pyramid, and The Forest of Myrrh.

There is no easy path for a woman aspiring to power. A concubine at the palace learns quickly that there are many ways to capture the emperor's attention. Many paint their faces white and style their hair attractively, hoping to lure in the One Above All with their beauty. Some present him with fantastic gifts, such as jade pendants and scrolls of calligraphy, while others rely on their knowledge of seduction to draw his interest. But young Mei knows nothing of these womanly arts, yet she will give the emperor a gift he can never forget.

There is a cancer at the heart of the mighty Cerani Empire: a plague that marks each victim with a fragment of a greater design. Geometric patterns spread across the skin, until the victim dies in agony or becomes a Carrier, doing the bidding of an evil intelligence. The lost prince Sarmin, the emperor's only surviving brother, lies locked in a hidden room. As the pattern draws closer to the palace he is at last remembered: now he awaits a bride, Mesema, a Windreader from the northern plains.

remarkable culmination
Story dragged sometimes when too many side characters got lots of time but all comes together as a remarkable tapestry. Narrator's pacing is off sometimes; does not always seem to recognize a sentence has ended before coursing to the next one. But overall this is a wonderful wrapup.
