About this listen
Two thousand years ago, men and women were driven to act by them same emotions, needs, and wants as they are today. In Cry for Jerusalem, Book One, we experienced how such actions forever changed the world for Jews and Christians, and met our main cast of characters: Yosef, Nicanor, Cleo, Sayid, and Miriam.
In Book Two of this four-part series, their epic saga continues its sweeping arc from Rome to Jerusalem, from Antioch to Galilee. Ancient history comes to life through the actions of historical figures, and events unanswered by history become plausibly explained. You’ll listen about the Siege of Yotapta (Jotapata), where thousands of Jews died fighting Roman legions - against all odds - in one of the bloodiest battles in Jewish history, witnessed and chronicled by famous Jewish historian Josephus.
You’ll follow the developing story behind the legendary (but real) Copper Scroll, considered “the most unique, the most important, and the least understood” of the Dead Sea Scrolls. This scroll describes the location of the Temple treasure moved from Jerusalem to be hidden - assumingly - from the Romans (but has never been found). You’ll learn of the factions and dissension that weaken Jerusalem, and the intrigues within the Roman Empire leading up to the Year of Four Emperors and the civil war that would then shape the empire for decades. The Great Fire of Rome, started by Nero, still figuratively burned, and had triggered a series of events that would end with the burning of Jerusalem and its Temple.

From the time of the Norman Conquest to the present day, the New Forest, along England’s southern coast, has remained an almost mythical place. It is here that Saxon and Norman kings rode forth with their hunting parties, and where William the Conqueror’s son Rufus was mysteriously killed. The mighty oaks of the forest were used to build the ships for Admiral Nelson’s navy, and the fishermen who lived in Christchurch and Lymington helped Sir Francis Drake fight off the Spanish Armada.

In ancient Rome, a woman flees for her life. Hidden beneath her blue cloak are secrets men will kill for - forgeries that prove the newly self-appointed bishops are pretenders who will stop at nothing to shape this new religion to their own ends. Two thousand years later, classical archaeologists Valentina Vella and Erika Simone stumble across an ancient parchment buried deep in the Vatican archives. To reveal Julia's legacy will put them in the crosshairs of a venomous Vatican battle for power and supremacy; to stay silent would make them complicit in an ancient heresy.

But when squire Elenai’s aging uncovers evidence that the sword in their hall is a forgery, she’s forced to flee Darassus for her life, her only ally the reckless, disillusioned Kyrkenall.

The first novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Roman series. It is 42 AD, and Quintus Licinius Cato has just arrived in Germany as a new recruit to the Second Legion, the toughest in the Roman army. If adjusting to the rigours of military life isn't difficult enough for the bookish young man, he also has to contend with the disgust of his colleagues when, because of his imperial connections, he is appointed a rank above them.

Their peace was a fragile thing, but it had endured for seven years, mostly because the people of Darassus and the king of the Naor hordes believed his doom was foretold upon the edge of the great sword hung in the hall of champions. Unruly Naor clans might raid across the border, but the king himself would never lead his people to war so long as the blade remained in the hands of his enemies. But when squire Elenai’s aging uncovers evidence that the sword in their hall is a forgery, she’s forced to flee Darassus for her life, her only ally the reckless, disillusioned Kyrkenall.

Compelling
Sanford arrows ahead with a sequence to his first historic novel about the Jewish rebellion from Rome. He continues to flesh out characters, bringing them to life while maintaining diligence with historical facts. The ongoing story is spellbinding.
