River of Gods III - The Wizard

The audiobook River of Gods III - The Wizard contains the third volume of the adventure series written by Wilbur Smith. Translation by Václav Vanduch. Read by Vasil Fridrich. Directed by Miloš Vrána. River of Gods #3 In the third episode of River of Gods, Wilbur Smith returns to ancient Egypt. Meanwhile, the eunuch Taita, known from the first episode, has become a powerful magician. This time the author has let his imagination run wild and the story is full of magic and enchantment. It may take a while for readers used to traditional adventure novels to get used to the somewhat unusual blending with the fantasy genre, but the story is, as always, very engaging. Taita protects the young prince Nefer, grandson of Queen Lotris, who will be familiar to readers of the first volume. Nefer's father, Pharaoh Tamos, is assassinated by Lord Najou, who is vying for his throne. This puts Nefer in great danger and when he learns the truth about his father's death, he swears revenge on Naj.
