The Ancient Egyptian gods have defeated all other pantheons and divided up the earth into warring factions. Lt. David Westwynter has escaped being a prisoner of war, and stumbled into Freegypt, the only place to have remained free of the gods influence despite being under frequent attack. He encounters the followers of the Lightbringer who has vowed to rid mankind of the gods’ influence. As the world stumbles toward the apocalyptic battle, Westwynter finds more to the Lightbringer than he dreamed.

This is military scifi in the sense of J. G. Ballard, with fascinating world building and characters that you care about. A master craftsman - if you liked Ballard, you’ll love Lovegrove as he brings the sub genre into the twenty first century. ~ Pam Allan
