A God Against the Gods (1976) is a sweeping historical novel set in ancient Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti. The story follows Akhenaten’s bold and controversial attempt to transform Egyptian society by abandoning the traditional worship of many gods in favor of devotion to a single deity, Aten. As he pursues his religious vision, powerful priests, political rivals, and members of the royal court push back against the upheaval. Through palace intrigue, shifting loyalties, romance, and conflict, Allen Drury brings to life one of history’s most fascinating periods and explores the cost of challenging tradition in pursuit of an ideal. Rich in historical detail, the novel blends drama and historical fiction against the backdrop of ancient Egypt’s golden age. Good condition. Includes dust jacket that shows minor wear.
