Shades of Memnon by Gregory L Walker


The book is full of adventure with mythological and historical tales. It is great to read a fantasy fiction with a strong African young man as the hero. I found it a bit difficult to understand many of the references. I needed more explanation and historical information.
There are references about the Kamitian legends, the Kushite nations and the different Gods like the great serpent Kam-Atef. I need more knowledge and history to fully appreciate the story. It is an exciting read and explores African history from a unique perspective.

This is an epic Adventure, circa 1200 BC, based on the legends of Memnon.
