Product Description

Without warning, machine-gun bullets ricochet off buildings and hit the ground, raising ugly puffs of dust in the village square. Screams of the injured and dying pierce the Easter Sunday spring air. Terror holds the heroine in momentary paralysis, and you, the reader, holding your breath. Legend of the Spear launches the reader and twenty-seven-year-old Dimiter Markovitz into a fast-moving, perilous journey of terror, intrigue, double-cross and paranormal events in search of two ancient icons of the Christian world: the Cup of Arimathaea and the Spear of Longinus. This novel will appeal to those yearning to escape into a shadow world of danger, intrigue and magic. Aficionados of high adventure and fast pace-be they nineteen or ninety-will find themselves breathlessly sitting on the edge of their chairs as the story unfolds. Events of spirit and paranormal happenings woven throughout this adventure will fascinate the metaphysically inclined reader, as well as admirers of the trilogy of Indiana Jones. Historical references, accurate descriptions and well-known legends integrated into this surprising work add factual interest and give a sense of credibility and reality to this fictional story. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revenge, terror and intrigue!, October 11, 2005

By	Allbooks Review (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Legend of the Spear: (Paperback)

Genre: Fiction
Title: Legend of the Spear
AUTHOR: Jason Edwards
Dimiter Markovitz stands shocked as bullets riddle Tenica, her village, killing her parents and her siblings. She reaches for a lone infant as she runs in terror from the carnage that once was her home. From page one, readers will be hooked by this excellent historical fiction. Although set in the Christian world it will appeal to all.

Fleeing to the monastery where her brother resides, Dimiter leaves her charge Alexi in the arms of the monks and begins a journey of revenge, intrigue and absolute terror. She becomes embroiled in the search for two Christian artifacts, the Spear of Longinus and the Cup of Arimathaea. Exciting, page turning drama enfolds as readers are drawn into the world of munitions, torture and underworld marketers.

The historical facts are well researched and the settings are vivid and alive. Dimiter's character is extremely realistic and believable. The evil Veronica is the epitome of darkness. This author is one that I will be looking for in future. Small dispersions of paranormal happenings make this book fascinating. There seems to be a resurgence of interest in the Spear of Longinus also known as the Spear of Lepanto and this fiction gives readers an in depth look at two of Christianity's revered artifacts.

Sam Joy and Jean Sidney joined forces as Jason Edwards to create Legend of the Spear. Highly recommended by Allbooks Reviews. Reviewer: Shirley Roe
