Judas Silver
JUDAS SILVER
a screenplay by J.R. Rain
Someone is stealing the cursed thirty coins paid to betray Christ. Disturbed by these events, the Vatican hires our hero, antiquities thief, Trey Jordan. Trey's mission is simple: find the coins first, and to free his imprisoned father, Trey has no choice but to agree. To combat the dark power contained within the cursed coins, Trey will be entrusted with a powerful weapon of his own, a weapon hidden deep with the Vatican's secret chambers.
As the adventure begins, he will team up with a past lover, the beautiful numismatist Eve Roberts, a coin collector herself and owner of one of the cursed Judas coins. Their search begins with a famous sunken ship and will lead to a bizarre castle located in the middle of a Scottish loch. And waiting at every turn is the mysterious Draken, whose dark power multiplies with the acquisition of each new coin. In the end, when a seemingly victorious Draken brings together all thirty coins, when the Gates of Hell have been thrown wide open and the world has been plunged into darkness and chaos, a desperate Trey Jordan will unleash the ferocious power of the legendary Fourth Nail.
**Acclaim for the Novels of J.R. Rain**
"Gripping, adventurous, and romantic — J.R. Rain's The Lost Ark is a breakneck thriller that traces the thread of history from Biblical stories to current-day headlines. Be prepared to lose sleep!"
—JAMES ROLLINS, international bestselling author of Altar of Eden and The Doomsday Key
"I enjoyed this immensely. The protagonist, Samantha Moon, is a female vampire with a husband and children. Those predate her condition; six years ago she was attacked by a vampire and rendered into one. Now she's trying to carry on with family and private eye business, and she's a feisty, skilled person, so is doing mostly okay. It is not a horror story; she buys animal blood to eat and doesn't generally prey on humans. But her husband has an increasing problem with her coldness — not of spirit, but of body. 'You sicken me and scare the hell out of me,' he tells her. 'And when I touch you it's all I can do to not gag.' She replies, 'Words every wife wants to hear.' I love this! What makes it special are her character and nature."
—PIERS ANTHONY, New York Times bestselling author of A Spell for Chameleon and On A Pale Horse
"Dark Horse is one of the best books I've read in a long time! A great classic detective story with a modern twist. Unique and interesting characters (I think I'm half in love with Jim Knighthorse now!), a great plot that kept me guessing until the end, and some of the funniest lines I've read anywhere."
—GEMMA HALLIDAY, author of Deadly Cool and Play Dead
"Impossible to put down. J.R. Rain's Moon Dance is a fabulous urban fantasy."
—APRIL VINE, author of The Midnight Rose and Blindfolded by Lust
"Moon Dance is absolutely brilliant!"
—LISA TENZIN-DOLMA, author of Understanding the Planetary Myths and The Dolphin Experience
"Moon Dance is a must read. If you like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, be prepared to love J. R. Rain's Samantha Moon, vampire private investigator."
—EVE PALUDAN, author of Letters from David and The Romance Writer's Pink Pages
"I totally loved The Body Departed. As someone who communicates with those who are either earthbound or have crossed over — your descriptions and interpretations of the dialogue and circumstances could not have been written more accurately. My favorite scene is the one of Jesus stepping down from the cross and then the passionate and compassionate way it was treated as he went back to the cross. I will relive that for a long time to come. You're a wonderfully descriptive writer who paints a very creative, visionary canvass based in a paranormal pallet that only a few experience and many can enjoy."

A short quick read in the action/adventure thriller genre. We have master thief Trey Jordan commissioned to find the 30 silver coins of Judas, which seem to have supernatural powers. He goes up against the baddies and all hell breaks loose.
A fun enough read, this would probably make a better movie in the vein of The Mummy and Indiana Jones than it does a book. But hey, if that's your thing suspend your disbelief and enjoy.

This was just o.k.
This is great if you want a short thrill ride. Nothing to wrap yourself into. And Amazon, please ask for a 10 word review or more. I am a person that believes less is more.

Here's to J.R. Raines
He has always one of my favorite authors. Whether it is horor, suspense of this case a bit of both I enjoyed it. I hadn't read any in awhile. This one was ok but seemed to miss the mark a few times. If you like him, you would like this book. If not nothing lost.

Ugh. I'm a big fan of J. R. Rain but this one was so bad that I couldn't finish it. What were you smoking?

Decent Read
A decent read. The whole thing came loose in the end. Compared to the rest of the story it got pretty silly. A short book.

This was such a fun adventure. Really enjoyed the story of the Judas Coins. The characters were interesting and the book is action packed. I don't know what else people could want from a book.

Enjoyable nonsense. I would have enjoyed it more if it had been longer with more character background and development and more detail to the plot.

Great Story Line

Good writing , but a add short story
Many of these e book authors are selling a short story as a book. This book(?) Was well written but plot, story development and conclusion were more like a short story .
