A highly colorful, suspenseful story of the visit of the Prince of Tyre to Egypt, with a regal eloquence unlike any other lamplighter book. Colorful drama that sheds light on portions of the Old Testament from events 3,500 years ago.

The story is an effort to portray a Biblical account, through historical fiction, in which Moses and the Israelite exodus from Egyptian bondage is told through a series of letters, written primarily by Sesostris, Prince of Tyre, to his mother, Queen Epiphia of Phoenicia, while visiting in Egypt.  Some 40 years later, Remeses continues the writing to his son to Sesostris while he too is visiting in Egypt after his father has risen to the throne.

Other than the fictional Prince of Tyre and the obvious “poetic license” needed to fill in the details, the plot is amazingly true to the Biblical account.
