Colossus

David Blixt captures vividly the tumult and tragedy of the struggles between the Romans and the Hebrews in ancient Judea. Absolutely a wonderful read.

This is the first volume in an exciting series set in ancient Rome and Judea, by David Blixt, whose Star Cross'd series is among my favorite historical novels. Colossus: Stone and Steel tells the story of two Jewish brothers, Judah and Asher ben Matthais.

Mixed thoughts on this book. Blixt definitely did a thorough research, for it shows in the detailed and specific information on 1st century Judea and Roman relationships.
