Forbidden Love. Lust for Gold and Power. Wrath of the Devil Wind.
The joyous birth of Nefret, Royal Daughter of Egypt's First Dynasty, is overshadowed by her mother's death, and King Aha's suspicion he may not have fathered her.
The young princess’s education is left to Ramose, High Priest of Ptah, who vies for control over his weak Horus-King—as does the vile Vizier. Each man takes full advantage of the Two Lands' warfare with its southern neighbors.
Nefret’s forbidden love for the surgeon priest Tasar and a deadly feud with her half-brother thrusts her into conflict with the strict laws of ma'at, a transgression punishable by death.
As the khamsin rages over the Two Lands, the many who seek to kill Nefret are pitted against the few who hope to save her.
Readers have praised this award-winning novel as “An Epic Story of Power and Intrigue,” its writing as “Simply luscious.” While this ancient saga plays out during Egypt's First Dynasty (3080 BC), it has the suspense and action of an Indiana Jones adventure.
It is followed by Sirocco, Storm over Land and Sea (a 2012 thriller), and After the Cataclysm (Book 3, a 2014 dystopian setting). Book 4 is The Crystal Curse (a 2016 adventure/thriller). Book 5, The Nile Conspiracy, is an international action thriller based on the very real threat of a new huge Ethiopian dam on the Blue Nile, Egypt’s lifeblood.
KHAMSIN The Devil Wind of The Nile A Novel of Ancient Egypt Legends of the Winged Scarab Book 1 edition by Inge H Borg Literature Fiction eBooks
Ancient Egypt is thought of, by many, as the dawn of history. This book takes you to a time that is before history, bringing to life names that we only know from fragments, harking to a rhythm and image that is smoothed and darkened by time. And yet the author makes them human.This is the very earliest period of dynastic Egypt, a time when the border between history and legend is blurred, when the kings and queens of that land seem to be gods that stepped down from the bowl of the sky and trod the land...
The author states:
At the dawn of the great Egyptian dynasties, before any Pyramids were built and the camel was introduced to the Nile regions, certainly long before the royal title of Pharaoh came into use, Aha rules as the second King of the First Dynasty... H i8s triumph and tragedy plays out centuries before the Greek colonization of the Two Lands... To this day our vague answers are drawn only from relics and mummies of much later dynasties, their cities wrenched from the hot red dust driven into the verdant river valley for fifty days by the Khamsin, the dreaded Devil Wind of the Nile. In Khamsin, the reader is immersed in the life of the fertile Valley of the Nile, as flesh and muscle have been molded back onto those brittle bones...
She molds them well. We meet characters that catch the exotic cadences of the faraway times as we follow the fate of a life conceived in the beginning pages. We watch first one character and then another - the general of the Fourth Army of Amun, who is tender to his faraway wife, lusty with a woman of the desert, and crafty. (And I must remember never to go back to that time and agree to carry an important message...)
And we meet Ramose...
This is a story to savor, written lusciously, with care and enjoyment. I grew to love Ramose, to enjoy his dry wit and his wide-eyed mysticism. The writing is lyrical at times, so rare in a time of utilitarianism, and the Khamsin is in the background, lending its tone to the story.
I enjoyed this - and I rejoice to tell you that there Ms. Borg has written another, arising from this but far, far in the future from this story. I think you will enjoy it, too.

KHAMSIN The Devil Wind of The Nile A Novel of Ancient Egypt Legends of the Winged Scarab Book 1 edition by Inge H Borg Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A+
unusual story line enjoyed it.
a very well written novel. keeps your interest from beginning to end. a very good reader.
This is a beautifully written book, set in ancient Egypt before the pyramids and sphinx existed and weaves an entertaining tale which defines the customs, fears and passions of those who lived during this era. The author is well-versed on Egyptian history
and provides help for those who aren't with a glossary and appendices to define characters, terms, geographical areas, etc. Egyptian history buffs will love this book.
This is a well written and very well researched book. The characters are written with a fullness that is all too lacking in many other books recently penned. I only gave it 4 of 5 stars only because I am a romantic and I would have liked a different ending.
Move over Jean M. Auel, Author of The Earth's Children series, and make room for a new author on the pre-history scene. Inge H. Borg has emerged with her book "KHAMSIN, The Devil Wind of the Nile", introduced on 's for all the world to read. This novel is meticulously researched, imaginative and purely entertaining, transporting the reader back to the dawn of Egypt long before the pyramids.

A fine story about a fascinating period of ancient Egyptian
history (wayyy back before the pyramids!) And Ms. Borg's
characters were well drawn...I cared about them. BUT,
this otherwise fine book was repeatedly interrupted for me
by the lack of EDITING. The author would jump from one
event to another with NO transition! A paragraph of one event
would end, and the first sentence of the next paragraph
jerks the reader into a totally different event/venue.
That is a no-no. It jolts me out of the story. Also,
I saw typos...and worse, deliberate spelling goofs...
yes, folks rowed barques on the Nile...not "barks."
I tried to finally ignore the non-transitions and as I
plowed on, the book got better and better. Maybe I'm
too fussy, but awww, Ms. Borg, you needed an editor! If
you folks can cope with the flaws, you'll enjoy this book.
A worthy effort.
I exchanged e-mails with Ms. Borg, and now she has (3/8/13)
good news! the editing font mashups in the first edition have
been corrected. This was worth the effort.
WELL DONE, MS. BORG! Folks, she writes beautfully. Be sure
you get the SECOND edition. I'm bumping my orignal 3-star
review up to 5 stars!
