This book has been on my Kindle for quite some time. I've read some of this author's books in the past and have been impressed by his writing style and attention to detail. It ended up sitting so long because I knew it was on the longer side and it was going to be one of those books that would be hard to put down.
The Tribe has been alive for 3500 years. Since Moses brought the 10 Commandments off the mountain. They were the ones who drank the blood and worshiped the golden calf. Ever since, they have been seeking redemption. They are "God's fists," ridding the world of sinners that elude man's justice. Their vigilante justice mentality has them killing many people, but they feel they haven't killed enough. Their belief is when they have killed enough, God will take them home. In the meantime, the only way they can be killed is by beheading. I know the first thing many people will think is Highlander, and the author knew that. Yes, there's a joke in there about it.
Their current mission involves something big. They haven't attempted something this big for 100 years and feel it's time. One of their members, Creed, doesn't think that violence is the way and tries to stop them. Fleeing the others, he makes his way to a safe house at Mt. Sinai. Working there is Jagger, a broken man trying to find his way, and his family. When his son is shot, Jagger gets sucked into the world of the Tribe and knows he has to stop them.
This was a good book with lots of twists and turns. The action kept the pace of the book going, but there are over 100 chapters, so there's a lot of stopping points if you can bring yourself to put the book down.
The second book in the series is called The Judgment Stone. I saw that Jagger was still in it, so I believe you should read this one first, because what you learn about Jagger's life later on in the book is likely relevant in the next book. I plan on watching to see if it drops in price and I'll update that prediction accordingly. I just have a feeling these need to be read in order. Good Book!
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!
