Der Nomadengott

Description

For all fans of the entertaining fantasy works of Terry Pratchett It is the year 1500 BC. Troubles are brewing in Egypt. The Hyksos, who a generation earlier had come to this land as guest workers, are experiencing more and more hostility from the local population. The Hyksos take the omens seriously and soon set out on their exodus from Egypt. They are led by thin, stay-at-home, non-adventurous Seshmosis, who doesn’t feel at all up to the task. Underway, their caravan is threatened not only by the Egyptians of this world: they discover they’ve incurred the wrath of the Egyptian gods as well. A marvellously humour-filled and wonderfully crazy adventure. The similarities with the other, more famous exodus from Egypt are delightful, and definitely not unintentional! Press “A fantastic story! Gerd Scherm has succeeded in capturing and abducting readers on a crazy journey from Thebes to Canaan.” Nürnberger Nachrichten “Gerd Scherm charms his readers intelligently, pleasantly and entertainingly – what more could one want from a novel?” www.phantastik.de “A delightful novel, captivating to the final line and so easy to read that the time not only goes by fast – it flies.” Woche im Blick “The Nomad God is a practically fearless, daring, fantasy-rich alternative to the flight of Moses and the Israelites out of Egypt. A stimulating and provocative book, witty and entertaining.” Fränkische Landeszeitung “The author … has succeeded with this amusing fantasy adventure in creating a rather rare combination of entertainment, humor, and deeper meaning.” Frankenpost Author Gerd Scherm was born in 1950 in Fürth.
