| Keep the peace… so reads the order from the Emperor, Tiberius.
A veteran Roman officer is assigned to keep the peace in Judea. More than 1400 miles from the seat of government, under-manned and under-financed, Centurion Gaius Julius Comminus struggles to maintain order. As the Jewish people gather for Passover, a madman haunts the roads of Zion bent on the murder and plunder of Roman citizens. And in Jerusalem a young rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth, who has been heralded by many as the Messiah prophesied to save the people from their oppressors, spurs political intrigue and secret mutterings of rebellion.
Peace, is not going to come easy.

Wm. Edmunds, a retired police command officer and a freelance Christian author, has done an extensive study on the Passover traditions practiced at the time of Christ. Mixing the three experiences has resulted in a gripping story that provides an intricate picture of the events that surrounded the days preceding and following the week when a young Galilean rabbi was executed from a unique point of view – that of the Roman Commander of Fort Antonio, located in Jerusalem.
There was far more going on in Jerusalem at that time than what Scripture describes. Religious and political intrigues and betrayals were commonplace – as were the hopes, dreams and aspirations of the thousands of Jewish families gathered within Jerusalem's walls to celebrate Passover.
