By a happy coincidence, I found myself reading this book while on my way to Haifa in Israel, where the opening chapters of the story take place. The author's vivid descriptions and plotlines made the place come so alive to me. And it keeps getting better and better. The twists and turns are nail-biting, and the scenes when the main character reaches the seventh sanctuary are nothing short of the work of a brilliant imagination. I loved it. What a terrific movie this could make if handled properly, though I don't think any movie would match the novel itself.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of Jews and Palestinians, as well as some biblical entries as well. Daniel Easterman has written a masterpiece, and I think that it should be republished.

Amazing Book, good history in a terrific prose, that absorbs, from begin to end.
Easterman is definitly the best !!!
Highly recommended.

I bought this book at a book sale . I had never heard of it,and had a hard time reading parts of it because I wasn't interested in some of it. however, when I read the last line, I just sat and thought about how it was going to be. I have recommended this book to several of my friends. It was good!!!

Daniel Easterman is the Nom de Plume of Denis McEoin, professor at Univ. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, an embittered ex-Baha'i.
