I spoke with the publisher of this excellent series (who stated they would forward correspondence to the author) & apparently as the author stated in Vol. 19 the "storytelling" has come to an end. Unfortunately. I have enjoyed this series immensely & was sad to see it come to an end. Even sadder to see it go "out of print."

Over the years my wife and I really enjoyed the series of the Children of the Lion. Since we also enjoy the Bible these stories complemented our reading. Peter Danielson has a way of making history come alive. It is sometimes difficult to relate to this period time when you are reading from some material. This is not so with Mr. Danielson's work. I found that an enormous amount of research had gone into his books and they had a unique quality about them that made them come alive. He has really done his homework. My wife and I found his work striking. I do miss the series and have wondered what happened and why he discontinued the work. Since he no longer is producing this series we have looked for someone that does similar work following the same time period and historical reference. One author that is of interest is Christian Jacq - Ramses. Peter Danielson was very enjoyable to read a series that keeps you thinking as you are reading. Very factual and fascinating to read too.

I have read the entire "Children of the Lion" series and have thoroughly enjoyed each saga. Having lived 10 years in Israel, the places and scenery are familiar and come alive with Peter Danielson's characters. My burning question: is there a 20th book in the series, or has the author ended his exploration of the land and it's history with the reign of King David? If anyone knows the answer, (publisher ?, author ?) PLEASE inform the reading public. Kudos to Mr. Danielson!

Do you want to know about ancient history but don't want to read boring non-fiction? These books show what it was really like in places like ancient Egypt, Canaan, Mesopotamia, and the Mediterranean Cultures. In other words, most of the "known" world. All 19 books in this series are exellent and are a "must read" for anyone.

The Children of the Lion series is a set of "must read" if you enjoy action, history,and religion.The writer has touched my heart with the everyday human drama of his characters as it begins with chapters taken from the Old Testament. You can feel yourself taken back in time with each book, and hope that the author will continue to write his continuing saga.

Thank You Peter Danielson

Danielson has a real knack for taking stories from the Old Testament and weaving them into the history of the time. The books are like potato chips - you can't eat just one.

This book is the 19th in a series of historical fiction, which follows the "Children of the Lion" through the period of the Old Testament. An herioc adventure! This series will give every Christian a more complete overview of the history behind the Old Testament than he has read before. Danielson has brought the people of the Bible to life quite vividly. Answers to questions, such as, "Why did Pharoah accept the Hebrews, then turn on them?" are answered with an historical accuracy that gives the era of the Old Testament a more understandable account. His knowledge of the period, and the people is excellent, and his presentation is outstanding.

HOW CAN I OBTAIN THIS TITLE??? Vol #19????
