I'm already gabbing about this book to patrons and making sure they get hold of Black Ships as well. One of my new favorite historical fiction authors! htw I loved Black Ships and I loved Hand of Isis just as much (maybe a smidgin more)!

Having read many works (Shaw's Ceasar and Cleopatra, several of Colleen McCullough's) works that span inspired by the events, Jo's account told from the viewpoint of Charmian was fresh and intriguing and unlike other works is told from the viewpoint of an Egyptian woman. I posted somewhere that I felt Jo reminded me of Marion Zimmer Bradly and her Avalon series with Jo's first work, Black Ships. This thought remains with me with this novel. I look forward to reading many more of her works in the future. Jo does it again by putting her own unique spin on a story from the ancient world.
