The pages are full of intrigue, romance, deceit, murder, honor, betrayal, prophesy, war; all the makings of a first class epic thriller.. Good elaboration of biblical verses Sharon B This is a very interesting elaboration of sections of the Bible. I enjoyed it very much but it was a little difficult to get started into the book. As my interest was tweaked, I really got into the stories and was surprised when I finished the book.
