Ancient Egyptian Historical Science Fiction

[Timba]

Dear Timba:

I see that you are from Minnesota. I spent my first years as an assistant professor up at the University of Minnesota, Duluth during the mid-1980's. What an experience that was for a Chicago native!

Duluth, the city of endless snowfall coming off the lake and Minnesota's version of San Francisco's hills. I have spent a weekend or two there and enjoyed it greatly.

Thank you for the heads up on the books, I am in the middle of a re-read of a massive series but will be in the mood for another time and place when I am done and shall check them out.

Well, given the paucity of recollections regarding "historical science fiction" and "ancient Egypt," my trilogy should do quite well.

Hey I stumbled onto this thread because I am thirsty for Egyptian sci-fi/ancient tech type of stuff... Also interested to know what Timba asked about your trillogy..?

Are you into any of the alternative theories on Egyptian science and technology/pyramids..?

Also am from Colorado and have lived in Minneapolis and have visited Duluth


Cheers

I've read The Egyptian by Mika Waltari. I'd never really heard of any books that have science fiction elements set in ancient Egypt.

For historical fiction, I can highly recommend the Lord of the Two Lands series by Pauline Gedge. Over three books, it covers the revolts against the Hyksos pharaohs, told from the POV of a noble Egyptian family of ancient lineage. Gedge has been penning fiction set in ancient Egypt for almost 40 years, and knows her business. She crafts compelling stories without sacrificing verisimilitude.
