Born into a priestly family, the young Joseph ben Matthias (Josephus) is selected by the Grand Council of Jerusalem to undertake a mission to free several of his countrymen who have been held captive in the city of Rome for over a decade. The trip by merchant ship into the heart of the Empire is fraught with danger, as life on the Mare Nostrum is perilous at best, besieged by pirates and unpredictable storms. Attacked by brigands, shipwrecked, and losing his closet allies, Joseph ben Matthias finds himself involved with suspicious characters that might have their own hidden motives behind their reason to befriend him. Nevertheless, in order for his mission to succeed, he must accept help from any source available, only to learn that nothing was ever as simple as he had been led to believe and other forces were already in play to interfere with his mission. With insurgency already brewing in Rome and back home, Joseph finds himself thrust into the middle of Roman politics, with the future of his own people resting uncomfortably on his shoulders. As he walks the narrow tightrope of being a servant to Rome and possibly the next victim of one of Nero's savage purges of the despised immigrants to the city, in all the chaos that surrounds him, Joseph finds love in one of the most unexpected places, which only embroils him further into the madness that exists within Caesar's palace. The balance between doing what is right an what is necessary becomes the ultimate contest as he searches for sanity in a world gone mad. What price is a man willing to pay in order to succeed? Deliverance is the riveting story of one man, his destiny, and his quest to change world history as he attempts to find the answer to that question.

In 136 AD, while addressing the Senate of Rome, for the first time in the Empire's history, the Emperor's introduction failed to declare that either he or the army was well. In fact Hadrian said the exact opposite, announcing that both the Emperor and the Army, thereby implying the Empire, were not well. After three and a half years of fighting what would be the third and final war against the Jews, this time the Roman army was brought to the very brink of destruction. With the defeat of at least five of her legions, and calling upon his most decorated general available to lead the Roman forces, the Governor of Britannia, Gaius Julius Severus, only to see him initially fail, the Emperor had to resort to the use and almost total reliance on a traitor within the Judean ranks to finally snatch victory from the jaws of imminent defeat. Someone who was above suspicion and seen as a paragon of virtue and religious integrity by both their Messianic leader, Simon bar Kochba, and the general population.. Someone that would betray his entire nation for the most basic of reasons without any hesitation and little if no remorse. That such a man would exist did not seem possible, but this was no ordinary man. Beneath a Falling Star is not a heroic war novel recounting the numerous battles and the superhuman efforts of the rebels to take on the greatest war machine the world had ever known. It is not the story of one man's meteoritic rise from being the leader of a band of desert robbers to the pinnacle of power being proclaimed as the king of nation attempting to restore its place in world history. It is not a story of how unswerving faith in God can inspire men to rally against insurmountable odds. If anything, it is a story of pettiness, selfishness and overwhelming desire that can drive even a good man to act in a way that is at first examination unbelievable, implausible and inconceivable. Only when the shocking truth is revealed during the trial, does the recognition that the deaths of over half a million men, women and children, sacrificed on the personal whim of one individual become an undeniable reality. This is not a revisionist history but a revelation of facts and statements that have been buried in the religious book known as the Talmud that tell us exactly what transpired during those three and a half long years of warfare. Facts that correct the falsifications of the history as it is currently presented because the truth would have been far more destructive than maintaining the lies. Facts that suggest that Simon bar Kochba may have truly been the messiah, but made the fatal error of putting his trust in the same man that the Emperor Hadrian had recruited as his own for the meagre price of love.

Almost twenty years after the threat to the Habsburg empire by the barely human creature known as the Golem, a new disaster looms on the horizon that both Church and Emperor view as the coming Armageddon. Once again, the prophecy of Nostradamus predicts that only a union of three men that the Empire has branded as outcasts can save the lands under Austro-Hungarian rule from impending doom. One, a false prophet, the second a heretic priest, and the third being a king without a kingdom, only if these three find a way to unite their unique talents and God-given gifts will society and history as we know it survive. Against the backdrop of myths and legends that has terrified the villagers of Transylvania for centuries, they must find the strength within themselves so that when they unite, they will become the Trinity. How can they stop the beast that has already taken the lives of several hundred young peasant girls over several decades, only to begin stalking the daughters of the aristocracy. The blood drained bodies of its victims raise fears that the Upiri, the vampires or undead as they were known, are once again ruling the night. But others lay claim to seeing the Varcolac in the forests, the wolves who walk like men, stalking the young children that foolishly venture into the woods once the sun has set. This is not a work of fiction, but instead a detailed report of events that transpired between the years of 1593 and 1610, when in desperation the Archduke Maximillian had to seek out the three men that could rescue civilization from the onslaught of evil. The events, people, victims and crimes are all real, all having existed, and only proves that the legends passed down to us were merely history waiting to be discovered. Nostradamus provided the clues, it took three heroes to decipher them.

In Once A God, Allen E. Goldenthal uses his internationally acclaimed story-telling abilities to provide the biographical sketch of the most fascinating figure from the Bible. A man that has shaped our world and yet, the Bible reveals practically nothing about his own life. From his youthful days as a Prince in the household of the Eighteenth Dynasty Egyptian Royal family, the author uses the wealth of historical and biblical manuscripts, the bounty of geo-historiographical records, the latest evidence from volcanologists and recent findings from scientific research and Egyptian archaeology to knit together the most fascinating and compelling profile of a man that was forced to wrestle with his own humanity and ultimately changed the world. Using the strikingly contrasting events of his own epic life, the reader watches as Moses matures into the epic hero that we glimpse in the Bible but never fully comprehend how he came to choose a path that so few men would tread. Charged with the felonious crime of murder, he has no other choice but to embrace the mantle that his now dead grandfather had left to him through a series of riddles concealed within a hidden archive protected by the High Priestess of Isis in the land of Goshen. Allen Goldenthal presents the reader with the most detailed profile of a man that we all know by name but know so very little about. We walk in his shoes as he becomes a rebel willing to defy his own family in search of a God that very few had encountered. As he deciphers his grandfather's mysterious clues, it takes him into the far off lands of Kush and Midian, where we find ourselves standing alongside on that very mountain where Moses comes face to face with Almighty God. From Prince, to mortal man, to rebel leader, this is the story of how one man became an inspiration to every generation, past, present and future. Finally we can appreciate the true miracle of the Exodus.

There was a time when one man could possess the power to change the course of history. When determinations over life and death revolved around the whims of despots and tyrants. When vengeance was synonymous with justice and to which all turned a blind eye. This was not the time of myths and fables, but a time when one man could stand above the rest and become a legend. Such a man was called Zutra and he dared to challenge the world controlled by three vast Empires and for a period of seven years he carved out a kingdom that stood at the pinnacle of convergence of all three. A kingdom built on freedom and equality, challenging the very essence of medieval society. A man that during his short lifespan inspired such fear in the hearts of his enemies, not because of what he achieved but because of what he stood for, that they felt compelled to make every effort to erase his existence from any historical reference afterwards. A task with which they almost succeeded but fortunately they had overlooked the anguished heart of the woman that loved him most, whom painted a history of that love on the cave walls of Dan-Dan-Uiliq in Western China and which still can be seen today. Fortunately, even though those of his own people that maintained the annals of their time and cursed his name, swearing to blot him from existence, still feared his family's hereditary reputation enough that they failed to eradicate the court records that preserved the legend and might of the man called Zutra. This is his story. This is our story, because of what he achieved impacted directly on the world we now live in. The belief that all men were created equal originated with Zutra and had he succeeded, much of the terror, the darkness and the genocides that plagued the fifteen centuries after his death may never have occurred.Tormented by the tragedies of his youth, witnessing the crucifixion of his father, his marriage to his first love whom also happened to be his stepmother, this real-life Oedipus battled his own demons, despising himself for loving a woman that not only despised him but was responsible for his father's execution, Facing this insurmountable self-torment, Zutra still managed to carve a kingdom out of the decaying Sassanid-Persian Empire, where the nobles plotted against the Great Shah Kavad, their emperor that had gone mad with his lust for limitless power. But he was able to do so, not through an inexhaustible inner strength but because miraculously one day, an exotic beauty from the East, a Princess of Northern Wei, entered his palace and at the same time entered his heart. Theirs was the eternal love painted by the Princess Ti-Ping on the cave walls as she fled back to her homeland after Zutra's fall. A love that inspired a young man to rise from obscurity and for the briefest of moments, to become the most powerful warlord the world had seen at that time. This is his story. This is the forgotten truth. A story of love, betrayal but most of all about freedom
