A.D.: A Screenplay

by Tim Larkin

Dear novel readers, don't let the screenplay format of A.D. intimidate you! This format is quite readable. For those who like more dialogue and less "fluff", this book is for you. You will fall in love with the characters and their personalities. Now, on to the story...

Alexander is a young Roman soldier who is serving in first century Judea, during the time of Christ. John the Baptist has grown very popular and threatens the stability of the region. Pontius Pilate orders an investigation. Alexander is sent to the Jordan River on a scouting mission.

Lord Aristobulus is a royal member of the house of King Herod, and first in line to the crown. He crosses paths with Alexander during a battle against a band of thieves. Impressed by Alexander's might, Aristobulus hires him as his personal guard. He believes that the young Roman will be crucial in his pursuit of the kingdom.

When John the Baptist is beheaded by the king and queen, the quest for the kingdom takes a dark turn. Lord Aristobulus must tread lightly, or else he may lose his own head! Alexander's status as a Roman only draws the suspicion of the king. Herod has many allies and many spies. They are either bribed by Lord Aristobulus' wealth or coerced by Alexander's sword.

Will Lord Aristobulus and Alexander pass through the trials and tribulations unscathed?

Will a young Roman soldier adjust to the high society of Jewish royalty?

How will Christ and the apostles affect Alexander and Aristobulus in their worldly pursuits?

" A Screenplay" has two paths from which to choose. The path of the wise, or the path of the fool. You are Alexander and you have a hand in his story. You may choose to be wise, or to be foolish.

This is a new screenplay by Tim Larkin, the author of the novel "American Intelligence."
