How might a boy raised as a prince in the palace of Ramses II become the Moses who led the Jews out of slavery in Egypt? That is the question addressed by Howard Fast in this extraordinarily rich novelization of Moses' early life. The answer is through patient nurturing and love from friends and through hard personal lessons learned from adventure, love, loss, hate and war.Being the great writer he is, Mr. Fast make the friends of Moses' youth - his mother, a priest, a builder, an old soldier, a doctor, and a great Egyptian general - real people, each with his or her own strengths, weaknesses and ambitions. These are people who themselves have been shaped by the struggle to survive in the imperial court of Ramses - and often by unfulfilled hopes which almost died upon the death of a previous Egyptian Pharaoh. That Pharaoh was the historical heretic Akh-en-ton, who had tried to overthrow the old polytheistic Egyptian religion that focused on death and afterlife, and replace it with a simpler religion worshiping one God who honored life and knowledge. Many of his friends - who are not all without selfishness - see Moses both as a possible successor to Ramses and a restorer of the wise rule of Akh-en-ton.And again, because this a Howard Fast novel, the adversaries the young Moses must deal with are themselves complex people, each compelled to act out their own mixture of ambitions, strengths, fears and weaknesses. At the head of the list is the great Ramses himself, who can order the death of anyone and has wives and children without number, but in fact both fears Moses and wants his friendship. A man who Moses recognizes as "the loneliest man in Egypt.
