Pillar of Fire (novel)

Pillar of Fire (novel)

"Pillar of Fire" is a 1995 historical fantasy by Judith Tarr. It deals with the reigns of Akhenaten and Tutankhamun and the Exodus from the perspective of a Hittite slave girl of Ankhesenpaaten. It draws heavily on Ahmed Osman's theory that Moses and Ankhenaten were the same person. Tarr comments in the endnotes that she was surprised at how little she had to tweak historical fact to write the story.
