Summary: The Prequel to the series? Not Really...
Comment: I usually abhor prequels categorically; however, after faithfully reading the first half dozen novels in this series, I was hoping to learn the full story of Lieutenant Bak's exile from the charioteers to his placement in Buhen as an inexperienced policeman. Unfortunately, in this latest published novel from Lauren Haney, there was less than adequate information in this area. Instead you are given a bit more of an expanded story that has been alluded to before, and instead you get to join the freshly appointed policeman on his first investigation.
With that said, 'Flesh of the God' is a highly entertaining addition to this series and explores the real reasons why Buhen was located so far along the Nile - as a convenient access for routes to the gold mines found in the southern deserts. Haney deftly tells volumes about Egypt by guiding the reader through Bak's investigation of the murder of Buhen's capable commandant. What would otherwise have been a conventional murder mystery is transformed into an educational and entertaining story that keeps you guessing until the very end.

Summary: A good read, but not a great book
Comment: I enjoyed the book, and I'll probably keep my eye out for more books by this author. The background was well enough researched that I never was pulled out of the story, the main characters were interesting. I particularly liked reading a historical novel were the people were not historical characters, but lived about in the middle of what was possible economically in that time. I also liked the mystery and how Bek went about solving it.

Summary: Flesh of the God
Comment: This was a great book. I hated to put it down. If you love ancient Egypt, and a good mystery, this is the book. I could not figure out who the guilty person was till the very end of the book. What a great read!
