From Publishers Weekly Lengthy but seamlessly composed, this epic historical drama by veteran author Smith (The Eye of the Tiger, etc.) tracks a power struggle in ancient Egypt between false pharaohs and a true royal heir, evoking the cruel glories and terrible torments of the era.

It also gives many practical tips about how to use available light, how to frame a shot to capture what you see, etc. "The Church was born with the Scriptures in her cradle."--Unknown.
