Jerusalem and the desert of Sinai, 1st century A.D. In the tumultuous aftermath of Jesus' crucifixion, officials of the Roman Empire learn of a pilgrim carrying an incendiary letter from a religious fanatic to rebels in Corinth. Its contents could destroy the Roman structure.
The Romans hire a former legionnaire, the solitary warrior Telamon from Arcadia, to capture the pilgrim before he delivers the letter. Telamon follows a dark personal code, where there is no room for noble purposes and ideals. He will, therefore, capture the bearer of the letter. And then something will happen that neither he nor the empire could have anticipated...
Steven Pressfield delivers the gripping story of an unwilling hero in a Roman Empire tested during the early years of a new religion that will change the world.
