Pantera
Rich with historical events and people, "Pantera" is a collection of three novellas that detail the formation of the Pantera family legacy with the conception of Yeshu ha-Notzri, Jesus of Nazareth. Yeshu, the son of a Roman soldier and a Jewish maiden comes into this world with his twin brother, Judas. They both must choose between the priesthood and the Roman military but their destiny as an agent of the state for the Roman Empire places Yeshu at odds with the Sanhedrin and we all know how that ends.
"The Man They Call Jesus" - The first book of the Pantera trilogy of novellas.
Written for free thinking readers around the world, this story details the beginning of the Pantera legacy and the creation of the true Holy Grail, an Essene healing potion that cures all ailments and bestows long life to those who imbibe. Join Yeshu Pantera, A.K.A Yeshu ha-Nortzri (Jesus of Nazareth) as he struggles with political and social intrigues in First Century Palestine.
Book two of the "Pantera" trilogy of novellas, "Grail Quest" follows the continuing adventures of the son of "The Man They Call Jesus."
Charged with the task of guarding the secrets of an Essene life extending healing potion, John Pantera must protect the world from what some view as the Holy Grail. A new peril now threatens the Pantera family and John heads out to recover ancient Roman and Aramaic documents lost to the Templar on one of the crusades. Some fear these same documents reveal facts that might change the course of Western Civilization and Christianity if they fall into the wrong hands. Against all odds, John engages friend and foe on his journey through France, Greece and the high seas of the Mediterranean to find and protect his family's secrets.
"To Raise the Dead", book three of the Pantera trilogy of novellas.
Some people believe long life is a blessing, others know it's a curse.

The son of Yeshu Ha Notzri (Jesus of Nazareth) fathered by one Tiberius Pantera, he leads a dual life to survive in this modern world. In one, he's a dashing businessman, philanthropist and Knight of the Swiss Realm on the board of an international pharmaceutical company.
