Exile Exodus

by Ryan Fleming, Billye Johnson (Editor)

The turmoil of Akhenaten’s reign as pharaoh was the beginning of the end of Egypt’s Eighteenth Dynasty. In his struggle for control of the soul of Egypt against powerful high priests, Akhenaten shapes a heretic religion in the world’s first experiment with a single god. His dynasty inherits discord from a religion embraced by a foreign people who had ruled Egypt two hundred years earlier. The brewing conflict culminates in a forced exodus, seeding the birth of a new movement, changing the world forever.

About the author

Ryan Fleming was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming and raised in the Midwest. After graduating from college, Mr. Fleming developed strong interest in the origins of religion including Christianity and Judaism, researching their earliest written records and how they evolved through culture, art, word of mouth, and literature. Historical records of the Israelites and Hebrew people date back over three thousand years, followed one thousand years later with the birth of Christianity. Mr. Fleming took particular interest in the development of the different sects of Christianity, their perceived authority in interpreting and disseminating supernatural truth and how these perceptions were handed down from the time of Rome’s occupation of Judea. "Exile Exodus" and “Hail Judeas Caesar” are culminations of these studies and Ryan’s first two novels.

Mr. Fleming graduated from Columbia University in New York City with a Master of Science and from the United States Air Force Academy with a Bachelor of Science.
