River God
          Ancient Egypt. Land of the Pharaohs. A kingdom built on gold. A legend shattered by greed. Now the Valley of Kings lies ravaged by war, drained of its lifeblood, as weak men inherit the cherished crown. On the eve of the festival of Osiris, the loyal subjects of the Pharaoh gather in Thebes to pay tribute to their leader. Exploding with all the passion and rage of a bygone time, River God is a masterpiece of historical writing. 
          Set against the backdrop of the Hyksos invasion of Egypt, circa 1780 B.C., Smith’s adventurous tale of ancient love, intrigue and avarice was a three-week bestseller. 

Gold Mine
          "Your unquestioning obedience. You will be my man." Such is Manfred’s demand when he offers Rod Ironsides the general managership of the Sonder Ditch gold mine. 
          For Rod, ambitious and hard-living, it is the chance of a lifetime. Manfred is neurotic and ruthless, already despising Rod. When Manfred discovers Rod’s passion for his wife, icy dislike turns to mortal hatred. 
          Neither Rod or Manfred understands that they are both involved in a more significant drama. They have become the unwitting tools of a group of powerful men who, for personal and political gain, plan to destroy the largest gold mine in the world.
