The Year of the Cobra (Akhenaten Trilogy, Book 3)

Egypt's enemies are massing in the North. But could the nation's deadliest
threat lie within?

The Year of the Cobra is the third and final book in Paul Doherty's Egyptian
trilogy. Perfect for fans of Lauren Haney and Wilbur Smith.

Egypt is in danger. The barbarous Hittites are rumoured to be massing their
armies. Pharaoh Tutankhamen is seriously ill and the country appears powerless
against its enemies. Scheming minister Lord Ay sends Mahu, Overseer of the
House of Scribes, to uncover the Hittites' plan. But what Mahu discovers could
be more devastating than any attack...

When the Masked messengers emerge to guide Mahu many unanswered questions
reveal themselves; the truth about Pharaoh Akenhaten's disappearance; the
identity of the 'Watchers' and secret knowledge about the Aten; the one God
and the coming of the Messiah. Mahu knows that Egypt's future rests on this
knowledge, but he also knows that knowledge is power...
