description: Biblical historical fiction about Israel’s Patriarchial Age, this book is as accurate as the published works of archeologists, clerics, and Egyptologists. It avoids challenging any tenets held sacred by the faithful of any religious sect. Spiritual theatrics and mystical appearances by gods and angels and heavenly beings and the like are absent, and its very plausible storyline captures and holds the reader’s rapt attention from start to finish. The hero and principal characters are prominent names in the Bible and in ancient history. Written at a professional level by a mature author who has honed his writing skills over a lifetime of adventure and travel and learning his trade, the book’s pages make easy reading at its best. Even quoted passages from documented history are modern English, so nobody runs around speaking in terms like “Thou shalt not…” and “Ye sayeth to Thee…” The story moves, the people are flesh and blood, they laugh and get drunk and cry and sin and go forward with suitable dispatch when they feel like it, at a leisurely pace when they don’t. They live.
