The Invaders

A tyrant of the Israelites is murdered, igniting the fury of a once-mighty people that now toils under the command of a sadistic, power-hungry general. It is the prophecy of a simple country woman that finally infuses the Chosen People with the divine strength to defend their honor and their great, fertile Promised Land. Meanwhile another war rages beyond the walls that confine the legendary beauty Helen of Troy. Throughout these two battles the Children of the Lion, a special clan of people blessed and cursed by the mark of Cain, find their lives mysteriously intertwined with the destiny of these empires - a fate that will change the course of history forever.

It could have happened this way....

I have a feeling Danielson has done a great deal of research of the Old Testament times, not just from a biblical standpoint, but also from that historical era. His interpretations of pagan worship, Mosaic Judaism, and Greek culture rang true. He related facets of stories I'd read all my life, but never imagined could have happened. This is great fiction- not probable, but definitely possible. It kept me turning the pages. I truly saw my Sunday School lessons in a different, human light. Great stuff!
