This novel involves three lives caught up in the miserable web of slavery. Desperation and vengeance drive the three main characters: Assad, a moor and military man is betrayed by an empire that is being torn apart; Alain Gravois, the son of a fisherman, living in Nantes, France, struggles to become his own man; and Osawe, a warrior, living in a small village situated between two warring kingdoms along the 'slave coast' of Africa.

Summary:

"THE HIDDEN SCROLL" is a historical fiction on the passion of an Israeli archaeology professor in his search for an ancient scroll written in the time of the second temple of Jerusalem. The novel takes the reader on a ride accompanied by ancient parchments, coins and other artifacts. Parchments history and their discoveries are described as the thriller develops from a cave in the Galilee, a cave in the mountains of Tibet, a monastery, an excavation site in Israel, a basement in Amsterdam, a book in Castilian Spain and a new archaeological site with a dramatic discovery. Some searches encounter interference and obstacles placed by a radical Islamic organization. The novel ends with extraordinary archaeological surprises. It has 83,700 words. “THE HIDDEN SCROLL� targets three niche readers. The prime group includes Jewish readers who love thrillers and who may be familiar with the historical events in the novel. After reading it, they most likely will tell their friends about its evolving events that occur in Jerusalem, Rome, Paris, Buenos Aires, Istanbul and other locations. The second targeted group includes Jewish and Christian readers who are interested in archaeology and history. The archaeological facet of the book is not scientific, but it includes some basics on the evaluation and dating of ancient scrolls and parchments. The third group consists of just thriller lovers. I am looking for constructive criticism to improve the impact of the introductory chapters on the reader's curiosity and his or her interest in reading additional chapters.
