Destiny of Coins is Aiden James third installment in his "Coins" series about Judas Iscariot and his silver coins.  The back drop for the books (an immortal Judas cursed until he recovers all of the blood money he was paid to turn Christ over to the authorities) is a great one.  The character of Judas - or William Barrow - is fantastic.  He is wise, but also very sarcastic.  His character provides both comic relief and a real depth.  His love of his son and his wife above all other things make for an interesting hero character.This book runs into problems with some of the plot additions.  **Spoilers ahead**For the first two books, other than the fact that there are immortals living here on Earth, most of the plot is pretty believable.  For whatever reason, in this third book, James decided to add an alternate universe that our characters slip into - where they are chased not only by the antagonist in the book, but also by velociraptors and other dinosaurs.  I have no idea why Aiden James felt it necessary to complicate an interesting series with dinosaurs and alternate dimensions.  It seemed out of place and added nothing to the story.I will probably read the next book.  But if it's not any better than this one, it might be my last from James.
