About the author

In 2008, I came across an article about the Judean Desert scrolls and was amazed to understand that I did not know the truth about Judaism in the period of pre-Christianity. This discovery led me to an in-depth study of the period, which evolved into the understanding of the Maccabees Rebellion and the creation of the Hasmonean kingdom that dominated the land of Israel for a hundred years, and later on the performance of Christianity on the one hand and rabbinical Judaism on the other.

As a keen fan of historical novels and films based on historical novels, it was clear to me that it was the right way to tell and spread the story. The result was the historical novel series "The Lions of Judea", and in between, I composed "The Experiment," a short and sweet novel that illustrates the slippery slope toward the future.

I was born in 1967 in Israel. In my youth, I trained in various martial art styles. Following my military service, I became a martial arts coach. Later when I become a writer, I found this knowledge valuable incorporating my martial arts expertise into my books.

I graduated from Tel Aviv University with degrees in law, Economics and MBA, started working as a lawyer, a profession I practice until today.

I'm married with four children, living near Tel Aviv in Israel.

[Harriett Edmonds · Rating 2 out of 5]

I give a 3 to books I enjoyed, 4 I loved, and 5 that left a permanent impression. Books that I get a 2 to, I usually don’t dislike them, but I may be distracted by parts of the writing, or have issues with the storyline, etc. It doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good book. So, I gave this a 2 because it could have been a great story. I can see the imagination in it, and I can see that the author could do great things building a world and characters with dimension. But I’m not really sure what the point was in what I read. I wish there was more back story, and who is the “them” that is mentioned? And what is the reserves? What tribe and what cliff? Just a lot of unanswered questions. But an entertaining read!!!
