Lion of Babylon

After thoroughly enjoying the [b:Gold of Kings: A Novel 6147481 Gold of Kings A Novel Davis Bunn http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255640275s/6147481.jpg 6326522] and [b:The Black Madonna 8468442 The Black Madonna Davis Bunn http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1287861913s/8468442.jpg 13333035] from [a:Davis Bunn 5367 Davis Bunn http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1296333281p2/5367.jpg] I have been looking forward to more adventures. I haven't quite found another author that I enjoy the intrigue mixture with faith sharing and connecting as I find in his stories. They are political and current and make me want to read even more. [b:Lion of Babylon 9752191 Lion of Babylon Davis Bunn http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1309733083s/9752191.jpg 14641446] was one that I was suppose to get to review a while back, but it didn't arrive and then when I finally got a copy it wasn't in the schedule or cards to read. Yet then when another story was coming up for tour in [b:Rare Earth 12970296 Rare Earth Davis Bunn http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327974982s/12970296.jpg 18128548] that is kinda a sequel I jumped right into read. I'm glad I did. Lion of Babylon is an experience. It is fairly reminiscent to me of reading the Brock & [a:Bodie Thoene 1085845 Bodie Thoene http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1256574173p2/1085845.jpg] Jerusalem series that I had from the library way back when I first started reading Christian Fiction with a passion. There is so much history and action combined together with politicals and emotions that it is hard to keep up, but entire worth hanging on for the ride. While this is the first book for character Marc Royce, it is completely stand-alone worthy. And of course, I'll be coming back for more from Davis Bunn in the future. Thanks to Bethany House for providing a copy for review.
