Acclaimed New York Times best-selling writer Tosca Lee brilliantly adapts the life of Judas Iscariot into a amazing work of fiction - humanizing the person whose very name is synonymous with betrayal. Based on considerable research into the life and times of Judas Iscariot, this triumph of fiction storytelling by the writer of Havah: THE STORYLINE of Eve revisits one of biblical history's most maligned statistics and brings the world he inhabited vividly to life. In Jesus, Judas thinks he has found the One - the promised Messiah and future ruler of the Jews, destined to overthrow Roman rule. Galvanized, he joins the Nazarene's supporters, prepared to enact the change he has waited for everyone his life. But soon Judas' eye-sight of a country clear of Rome is smashed by the inexplicable activities of the Nazarene himself, who will not bow to sociable or spiritual convention - who seems, in the end, to even change against his own people. Finally, Judas must confront the fact that the professional he loves is not the liberator he wished for, but a guy bent over a drastically different agenda. Iscariot is the storyplot of Judas, from his tumultuous childhood to his emergence as the person known to the world as the betrayer of Jesus. But even more, it is a singular and surprising view into the life of Jesus that causes us to reexamine everything we thought we recognized about the most famous - and infamous - spiritual icons ever sold.
