Review :
Praise for Desert God: "A thrilling tale...as magical as it is enlightening--not just about history, but about the heart of a heroic man." - James Rollins
"What's the recipe for commercial fiction success? Start with solid history along with plenty of action, sex, and brutal violence. Mix some mythical creatures, volcanic eruptions, and tidal waves with a dollop of truel love, and the result is an entertaining adventure. Smith's fans in general and fans of Taita from the Egyptian series will be pleased." - Library Journal
"One of the world's most popular adventure writers." - Washington Book World
"One of the legendary storytellers of our time." - Nelson DeMille
