Recorded by Jim Hodges

Setting: AD 1250 B.C. – Egypt.

Story: This book covers the oldest time period of any of the Henty novels. In it, young readers will learn much about the domestic life, customs, religion, and military system of ancient Egypt. Amuba, a prince of the Rebu nation on the shores of the Caspian Sea, with his charioteer Jethro, is carried into slavery after losing a battle with the Egyptians. They become servants of the house of Ameres, an Egyptian high priest, and are quite happy there, until the priest’s son accidentally kills the sacred cat of Bubastes. The locals rise up in rage and kill Ameres, and Jethro and Amuba must escape with the high priest’s son and daughter. After crossing the desert to the Red Sea, they eventually make their way back to freedom.

The Henty audio books recorded by Jim Hodges are now available in MP3 CDs. These are NOT regular CDs that can be played on any CD player. They can be played on a DVD player, a computer CD-ROM or a boom box that has a CD player that is compatible with MP3 CDs. Mr. Hodges made them in this format instead of regular CDs because the entire book can be recorded onto ONE MP3 CD, thus keeping the cost down from the many regular CDs it would take for one book. Just be aware when you order the MP3 CDs that they won’t play on a regular CD player without MP3 capability.
