This is a fascinating historical fiction book set during the Bible times shortly after the crucifixion of Jesus. It centers around the centurion who crucified Jesus and tells his story. Readers meet the Roman centurion and travel with him through his various trials, tribulations, struggles, and dangers. There are backstabbing centurions, conniving slave owners, cruel masters, and more. Famous characters like King Herod and Saint Peter also come into the scene. This was a very fast paced story full of many twists and turns. Since this book is of the Christian genre, there is emphasis on Jesus but not so much that it detracts from the rest of the story. Regardless of your religious beliefs, this is a great adventure of a book that will keep you turning the pages. My only complaint is that so many of the character names were exotic and unfamiliar to me, which made it difficult to keep up and follow along with who was who.
