The Treasure Hunt: A First Century Soldier's Story

Follow Cyrus as he grows up fast in the rough and tumble world of the Roman Legion. His journey begins in Tarsus, an important Mediterranean port city and hometown to one of the Bible's most beloved figures, the Apostle Paul, who in these days is known as Saul, a very proud and determined Jewish prodigy. Family trade brings Cyrus and Saul together, which leads to a harrowing life or death experience, ultimately sending Cyrus on a warrior's path and Saul on a path to Jerusalem. Add to the mix the ravishing Porcia, an irresistible yet forbidden flower from Rome, and matters spin out of control for the love struck Cyrus. Banished from those he loves, Cyrus winds up being the main target of competing bands of ruthless and mysterious characters, both Roman and Jewish, and all seeking the world's greatest lost treasure, the Ark of the Covenant. THE TREASURE HUNT is a lively tale sure to entertain adventure loving Christians and history buffs alike. Impeccably researched for historical and geographic accuracy, storyteller Patrick Fourchy transports readers on a perilous journey to the first century Roman Empire and a look into the dangerous lives and times of the early Christians. Enjoy the ride!
