The Daggerman

by Glenn Starkey

Two men born under the same star on the same night are destined to lead intertwined, yet separate paths – one to save people, the other to kill them. Yeshua is destined to fulfill the prophecies of the Messiah to come, while Hanan fights his country's Roman oppressors and a corrupt, ruling priesthood. This heavily political and treacherous era is steeped in the subjugation of a people that have fought for their freedom since ancient times.

The devil has left his mark on Hanan from birth, and it fits him well as he, working alongside the Sicarii, ruthlessly eliminates his country's Roman oppressors and the corrupt priests from the Sanhedrin Council of the Second Temple. With Yeshua as Hanan's only true friend, Hanan must protect him from the devil yet conceal his own true identity as an assassin. Torn by the treachery of the time, Hanan knows he is damned by the devil's mark and struggles with the choice of death or redemption.

[Brenda · Rating 4 out of 5]

History and Fiction combined to tell a very interesting tale of two boys both born under the same star on the same night - one born to save people and one to become an assassin. It wasn't until the end of the book did I find out what was fiction and what was history. I did learn just how political, cruel and treacherous life was during the years the Romans ruled Israel. As with most historical fiction books, I do learn a lot about history while reading a good story.
