The Search for Rasha

The Search for Rasha is an exotic historical adventure that will take you on a harrowing journey through Egypt, past the pyramids and the lush Nile river, fueled by one man’s inexorable drive to save his lover from danger.

After Rasha is kidnapped by bandits in the dark of night, Bassam must set out from the Arabian village of Rekeem to trek across Egypt to rescue his love. On his way, he encounters dangers that test his courage, endurance, and wits, not to mention his skill with a sword. He soon learns there is more to the situation than what lies on the surface. Before long, Bassam finds himself not only fighting to rescue his lover, but for his own survival.

More vivid than most historical novels set in Egypt, Skousen’s attention to deep detail in describing not only events but Rasha’s times makes The Search for Rasha a compelling recommendation that’s hard to put down.

Paul B. Skousen tells the story of The Search for Rasha with a polished economy of writing rarely seen today, and certainly with a poetic beauty and sense of presence mastered only by experience. It may seem hyperbolic praise to add: This book reeks of intelligence and knowledge. Academic authenticity saturates this high-paced thriller with immediacy and belief.
