PROLOGUE The drawn, gaunt patient lay alone in his steel, mechanized bed crowded into a small room. The white walls boasted a solitary black crucifix as the room’s only decoration. The rich, fragrant aroma of a myriad of plants and flowers almost recreated the drab hospital room into a veritable Garden of Eden, appropriately signifying both the beginning as well as the ending of life.

GALLEY: Abraham’s twin grandsons, Jacob and Esau, were bitter enemies. Jacob ‘cheated’ his older brother, Esau, out of his birthright. As a result, Jacob’s descendants, the Judeans became God’s Chosen People and Esau’s descendants, the Idumeans became the peope that God’s hated and despised. God’s prophets, including Isaiah and Ezekiel, told the Judeans that it was permissible for them to rob and even kill Idumeans. For this reason, the Romans made that Idumean ‘dog’, Herod and his heirs, kings of Israel. Inexplicably, however, Josephus relates in his Jewish Wars that the insurrectionists against Rome called upon “the Idumeans” for support in order to prevent the Judean sect of Sadducees from turning Jerusalem over to the Romans. In addressing this enigma, The Idumean Covenant becomes a locomotive taking the intelligent reader on a historical adventure of cynical plots, unconventional alliances and impossible loves pitting the most powerful men of the Roman Empire against each other resulting in a dramatic transformation of the existing world order. Moreover, The Idumean Covenant establishes the missing link between the Temple of Jerusalem and the Priory of Scion, between the Temple Guards and the Order of Templars.
