A stunning, heart-pounding, journey into the lost world of ancient Egypt.

The Reed Fields, An Egyptian Tragedy is a reading experience unlike any other. In 364 BCE, Akua-Mat was a young priest eager to serve the people of his country the best he could. Then, mysteriously, the priesthood uprooted his life by forbidding his marriage and sending him away. Akua unwillingly accepted this voluntary exile and watched his life crumble.

When he eventually lands in Athens, Greece he miraculously uncovers the reasons behind his exile. While there, he decides to return to Egypt and labor to put his life back together.

Akua’s natural and learned spiritual gifts manifest into a unique and beautiful gift to Egypt. He was able to touch the hearts of many in a way that few ever could.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This novel is about ancient Egypt. I had fun and learned a lot writing it. I spent 10 years
writing and editing it and am happy to have it be available. What I'm most proud of is the
spiritual premise of the book. I really tried to create more than just a good, solid story.
I wanted to present an overview of religion and worship to the many gods in that time and
I hope I achieved it. The main character, Akua-Mat is one, like me, to question religious beliefs.
I tried to have him search for the inconsistencies present in the religious dogma of the time.
If you decide to read The Reed Fields, I sincerely hope you enjoy it. Nothing would make me happier than to know this story provided value to you in some way!

"The Reed Fields: An Egyptian Tragedy" is a standalone novel about a young Egyptian priest who becomes embroiled in temple and court politics and mysteries that put his life, and the lives of those he loves in danger.

The author is new to me, and he has written an interesting story set in ancient Egypt and Greece comparing the differences and similarities between Egyptian and Grecian religions and philosophies. His research is solid, the plot is good, the story is put together well, and his characters are believable human beings, and his editing and proofreading teams are excellent.

If you like stories about ancient Egypt and Greece that dig into their stories of their religions and philosophies, this one is for you.

My rating is an average of the two facets of the book.

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2016

I did not especially enjoy reading this book. It was not what I expected. The first 75% was about Greek and Egyptian philosophy and religion - neither of which interest me. I finished the book because I always try to give an author my full attention since they work hard to produce the book. The book did come together to the point I would generally Hargrove a rating of 3.

I was impressed with the effort and care taken by this author. It was obvious to me that either Mr Campbell is a philosophical scholar or a great deal of research went into this book - or perhaps both are true. If you enjoy philosophy and/or ancient religions, then I heartedly recommend this book. It is well written and it is indeed a tragedy. Thus I rate the technical aspects a 5 for the overall average 4 rating that I gave.

Not enought history. Not enought character.

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2016

This has been an interesting story but it is awkwardly written and I have put it down and read other books only returning to this as I want to see how it will end. I have a compulsion to finish books I start. I don't think I am connected to the main character. More background would be helpful. It could be I don't know enough about the Priesthood and the religious movement he belongs too. I am an uneducated outsider listening to a story and only getting a glimmer of how it all fits together. Why am I supposed to be engaged in this story tellers life. There is no emotional connection for me.

I have read many fantastic historical fiction books set in ancient Egypt, but unfortunately this was not one of them. I don't think the writer did any research and if he did, it was cursory at best. Granted, I only read about 15% of this book, but that was too much. Simplistic writing that seemed done by an elementary school student, dialogue that was unrealistic for the time, bland characters...it was a mess. I just couldn't take it anymore.

Not recommended at all!!

Okay but not great and has a sad ending.

Story itself was interesting and very educational concerning history and Egyptian and Greek mythology. However, the author used modern slang in his conversations and contemporary expressions which bothered me very much.
