Ramses and the Harem Conspiracy (The Nubian Physician) by Douglas Mears is a well written novel that takes place in Egypt during the Bronze Age. Ramses and the Harem Conspiracy is a book that will appeal most to those who enjoy historical fiction as well as those who enjoy a strong female as a main character. While Ramses and the Harem Conspiracy is fictional, it remains historically accurate. The story line follows Khefra, a young woman who is a Nubian doctor and an archer. Her career as a doctor eventually leads the young Nubian woman to seek her fortune in the royal court. Khefra quickly finds herself entangled in conspiracy in the Egyptian capital.
Douglas Mears has amazing attention to detail with how he manages to keep Ramses and the Harem Conspiracy moving at a fast pace and historically accurate while still keeping the story line enthralling. The fast pace of Ramses and the Harem Conspiracy was one of my favorite aspects of the book as it kept the story from becoming stagnant. Khefra quickly became my favorite character as she went on many adventures; my favorite of her adventures was when she was a field surgeon for the army of Egypt and she became involved in an interesting bit of espionage. The ending of Ramses and the Harem Conspiracy surprised me as I did not expect it, but I hope that Douglas Mears decides to write a sequel!
