Produktbeschreibung

BELIEF is a historical novel set in 1574 B.C. during a crisis period in Pharaonic Egypt. The book depicts the struggle to expel the foreign invaders from the east, the Hyksos, and the difficulty in trusting a new god whose promises are too good to be true and also too vague to be trusted.
Hori, a junior priest did not mean to serve a new god. He just wanted a little attention, but through his irresponsible and foolish lies, he ends up in a terrible situation. The events he unleashes soon become uncontrollable...
An uneasy truce rules the divided Egypt, but in 1574 B.C. a pharaoh emerges, a man who seeks to expel the invaders and restore Egypt to its former glory. Pharaoh Seqenenre Tao knows his plan is a dangerous one and that his supporters are divided. The possibility of victory over the foreign invaders is a remote one. The old gods have seemingly abandoned Egypt to its fate; something else will be needed to rally the people in the long struggle ahead. Can this new god, the Sand God help the pharaoh overcome the invaders? How will this be done and more importantly, what will be the demands from the god in achieving this?

Autorenporträt

Paul Morrison, a retired museologist, has also been a writer for most of his life. "I cannot remember a time when I was not writing, even when I was five or six years old. I grew up with books such as TREASURE ISLAND, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and THE TIME MACHINE these and the many other books which I read in my early years fed my imagination, a voracious imagination transporting me to faraway places, other worlds and to other times in both the recent and the more distant past..." Many of these worlds and places are visited in the novels and short story collections he has written.

Besides a love of fiction, Paul also reads widely on ancient history and archaeology. "I am particularly interested in Ancient Egypt, mainly Old Kingdom Egypt during the age of the pyramid builders. I have always been intrigued as to how the pyramids were built and also about the lives of the pharaohs and the workers who constructed the pyramids. There were many questions filling my mind, but few if any answers." This inquiring interest led to the GIZA TRILOGY books, THE PHARAOH, THE SPHINX and THE THREE QUEENS, a monumental work of well-researched fiction set against the backdrop of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Together, with their associated books, THE DIVINE LIGHT, ETERNAL EGYPT (Supplement to the Giza Trilogy), and SECRET OF THE PYRAMID, these books total more than 1.3 million words! Other books written by Paul cover a wide range of subjects including historical fiction, science fiction, ghost and detective stories as well as many other genres.

Paul currently lives in Hobart, Tasmania with his wife in a house overlooking the Derwent River. "The magnificent views of Hobart and Mount Wellington inspire me in my writings but the most important inspiration is my wife, Helena."
