Nectanebo: Traveller From An Antique Land is a work of fiction in the metaphysical, science fiction, and surrealist writing subgenres. It is best suited to the general adult reading audience owing to some mature themes and was penned by author Herbie Brennan. In the true spirit of weird fiction, this work is a captivating science fiction thriller that weaves together elements of ancient Egypt, the occult, and esotericism. The story centers around Nectanebo, a character whose journey is as intriguing as it is mysterious. It leaves you wondering about the possibilities of life, death, and what lies in between.

Author Herbie Brennan creates much anticipation as a reader approaches this unique work, but from the moment I started reading, I was immediately drawn into this enigmatic tale. Brennan's writing style is both clear and evocative, making it easy to connect with the characters and their motivations as they leap off the pages in larger-than-life moments. What truly stands out is the way the story delves into the mind of a protagonist driven by a lust for power, making the reader sympathize with their desires and allowing them a unique insight into twisting thoughts and strange motivations. One of the most impressive aspects of Brennan’s writing is the uncanny ability to provoke thought and curiosity as the narrative offers more questions than it answers but leaves you thrilled by the fact that you have to fill in the blanks for yourself. Overall, Nectanebo: Traveller From An Antique Land is a must-read for those interested in ancient Egypt, the occult, and a genuinely captivating story that defies conventional genre boundaries. It's a tale that lingers in your mind long after you've finished reading, leaving you eager for more.
