The Age of Ra

Pantheon, Book 1

De: James Lovegrove

Narrado por: Andy Cresswell

The Ancient Egyptian gods have defeated all the other pantheons and claimed dominion over the earth, dividing it into warring factions. Lt. David Westwynter, a British soldier, stumbles into Freegypt, the only place to have remained independent of the gods’ influence. There, he encounters the followers of a humanist leader known as the Lightbringer, who has vowed to rid mankind of the shackles of divine oppression. As the world heads towards an apocalyptic battle, there is far more to this freedom fighter than it seems.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Pick up James Lovegrove's latest novel and you can rest assured that you are in the safe hands of a master craftsman." (SFX Magazine)

"One of the most interesting and adventurous British SF writers...." (The Bookseller)

Awesome!

amazing story throughout. though I am a little disappointed with the ending leaving a few things unanswered.

Intresting, and well done.

An intresting take on modern times if the gods (Specifically egyptian pantheon) were present, known, and major players in the worlds politics. The book does an amazing job of building its world, handling the things you would expect as well as the gods portrayal. The story itself i find less important, which is funny. It's still well done mind, but it is an action story with intrigue, mystery and doubts. All of it really comes to a boiling point near the very end with a very well done ending. The performer was the weakest part, though that doesn't say very much to be quite honest. It was hard at a time or two to differentiate a character or two. Still stellar work.

provacative story about war and gods.

such a provacative story about countries warring with Gods behind it and how to change the world.

Ok look at alternate world

Some interesting ideas. A little disappointing to me. I will read some of the other Pantheon books to see if they are better.

Unique and fun but not stunning

I'm a huge FSN of lovevrove's sherlock holmes novels and while Age of Ra was certainly an original setting, the story wasn't nearly as original as I've come to expect.
