The year is 67 AD and the Roman oppression of all its neighbors (Greeks, Jews, Persians, etc.) is in full swing. Nero is emperor. Three men escape from Caesarea,  a port city in Judea under siege by the Romans, for their mission is to spread the word of the recently deceased Joshua/Yoshua/Jesus. One is Andreas (the apostle Andrew - brother of St. Peter), one is his very young scribe and translator Johanan, and the third is Jacob, bodyguard and believer.The tale is told by Johanan many years after the events described, which include the martyrdom of Andreas/Andrew and an exciting and fascinating quest for a crucial scroll from the library of Alexandria.Although written in a lofty style it is an action-packed yarn that kept me glued to my Kindle till the end.I loved it !!!!!!!The book apparently has a sequel.
