I've read pretty much all his books and while I liked the Egyptian series a lot, Sunbird is definitely my favourite. There's plenty Egyptian stuff out there (although not so many novels), but Phoenicians are thin on the ground and I found the theory, or thought experiment, of a Phoenician colony on the African coast somewhere both intriguing and entirely plausible.
I find his "modern" books quite enjoyable too, but being an ancient history buff...
