Brachan - by Larry Kaniut (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Stationed in Rome, Brachan is dispatched on military assignment to Jerusalem to monitor and deal with a potential threat. Upon investigating allegations of a local baptizing menace, he dismisses the Baptizer John as a creditable risk to the empire. However, Brachan's extensive spy network identifies a Nazarene named Jesus who seems more dangerous than the Baptizer. After witnessing numerous events that leave him deeply troubled, Brachan's mission continues to study Jesus as a viable threat until the Nazarene is convicted after an impromptu trial and crucified. With the threat extinguished, Brachan prepares to leave for Rome when informants tell him the body of Jesus is missing. Brachan changes his travel plans to investigate the escaped Nazarene and discover the missing body. Yet, what he uncovers and outlines in his final report signifies an enemy that even the mighty Roman empire cannot stop.
