Nato a Parigi, il giovane Christian Jacq decide molto presto quale sarà il suo destino: a 13 anni infatti gli capita tra le mani una copia di 'L'histoire de la civilisation de l'Egypte ancienne' dello storico Jacques Pirenne. Il colpo di fulmine per l'antico Egitto scoppia subito, e prima dei vent'anni Christian ha già prodotto tutta una serie di poemi e racconti ambientati in quel periodo. Sposato a diciassette anni, va in viaggio di nozze proprio in quelle terre e anche all'università, alla Sorbona, decide di specializzarsi in egittologia, acquisendo presto il dottorato. Dall'inizio degli anni '80 alterna così saggi a volte scientifici ed a volte divulgativi ad opere di fantasia, a romanzi storici. Il successo arriva in Francia nel 1987 e nel resto del mondo un decina d'anni dopo, e permette a Jacq di lasciare Parigi e trasferirsi con la moglie e il cane in una sorta di casa-biblioteca colma di migliaia di volumi, dove dedicarsi ad alcune ambiziose opere in più volumi. Negli ultimi anni, comunque, dopo una stagione di intensissimo lavoro, ha diradato di molto le sue uscite.
