The Seventh Scroll is a modern thriller that is set in the late twentieth century. But it is a sequel to an earlier book called River God, which is a historical novel set in Ancient Egypt, nearly 4000 year ago. A retelling of River God is also worth reading, although it´s not necessary to read it before you read The Seventh Scroll. River God is set at the time when Egypt was invaded by people from western Asia, who the Egyptians called the Hyksos. In the story, the Seventh Scroll, some ancient Egyptian records are discovered. They had been written on scrolls of papyrus and one ot them told of a tomb that had been built for an Egyptian king at the time of the Hyksos invasion.
