Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Convinced he is a god, Seleucid Emperor Antiochus Epiphanes IV is on a mission to strengthen his empire against his enemy, the Roman Republic. He is determined that all subjects obey his edicts of Hellenization, which include loyal worship to the Greek pantheon, in an effort to unify the people. Among the subjects of Antiochus' vast kingdom, the only people to reject these decrees are the insignificant Jews of Judea. Their refusal is a matter of faith in the one true God.The year is 167 B.C. and the day is the 25th of Kislev. The Temple has been desecrated. Blood has been spilled. Women with their infant sons are mercilessly hurled to their deaths from the city walls of Jerusalem. Men caught studying Torah are burned alive. Judea is stricken by the sound of wailing and the sight of unimaginable suffering.If one desires to be a faithful Jew, then they will be confronted with a grim reality: either risk torture and death, or flee into the wilderness branded as an enemy of the king. Blackness has descended upon the land. The Jews live under a shadow of persecution which threatens to annihilate them as a people and destroy their faith in the God of Israel.Yet, in the village of Modiin, Mattathias and his sons inspire the people with the war cry, 'Let everyone who has zeal for the Torah and who stands by the covenant follow me!' Open rebellion is set, swords are sharpened, and the Jews of Judea rally around Mattathias' son, Judah. He will either lead them to victory over one of the most powerful empires in the world, or else they will be swallowed up in destruction, consumed by blood and fire.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Conquering the world as masters of an empire was infused into the Roman psyche since the days of Carthage. Yet crushing rebellions in the midst of expansionism would be inevitable. The most ardent against Roman tyranny were the Jewish Zealots in the Province of Judea. Perceived by the Romans as criminals and by many Jews as liberators, the Zealots would finally cast off the shackles of oppression, slaughter the Roman garrison in Jerusalem, and declare war against the most powerful empire ever seen.the stage had been set and the year was 66 A.D.Centurion Gaius Cornelius Antony of the Thundering Twelfth Legion is part of the largest Roman army fielded in over a hundred years, with a mission to take Jerusalem and crush the dying embers of the Jewish rebellion after three years of war. Known as a man of honour, Gaius' skill and leadership in battle is exemplary, yet his intuition to see its bloody outcome always haunts him. As the struggle for Jerusalem commences and crosses fill the landscape, he will lead his men boldly forward for the glory of Rome.Judah ben Yosef is a Jewish man consumed by hate and bitterness at the murder of his betrothed; he will stop at nothing until the Roman responsible is dead, a man simply known as Capito. Judah's faith and desire for God to fill him with peace in the midst of war always stands before him and yet seems impossible. Thus, entangled in a city of starvation, disease, inner fighting, and competing warlords, Judah's loyalty, allegiance, and service will be tested as he yearns to fulfill his vengeance while Jerusalem is threatened by the fury of the legions.Soon, Gaius and Judah, Roman and Jew, will meet and the survival of Jerusalem could be at stake.
