Between Two Seas

Beschreibung

In ancient times, Melitene is ravaged by violence, poverty, addiction, and unrest. The new governor, Trebonius, is charged by the emperor to bring stability to the island. He seeks the counsel of two leading Melitenians who represent diametrically opposed world views. Solon is a humble seeker of his Creator. Alacerius believes only in man-made solutions, with himself in charge. Alacerius wins the governor's favor and begins implementing his program of atheism, the corruption of morals, collectivization, coerced population control, and imprisonment or worse for all who oppose him. Trebonius sends his seventeen-year-old son, Publius, to live incognito among the people to gauge how Alacerius's reforms are affecting them. At the school in the main city of Mathos, Publius meets sixteen-year-old Amoenitas and her temperamental younger sister, Eletia. Publius and the two sisters soon find themselves entangled in a labyrinth of murder, deception, intrigue, real and misplaced romance, a prophetic dream about a messenger of hope, and historical events that affect the world to this day. The players on the world stage have changed with the generations. Science has advanced. But one constant has always remained-the relentless struggle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness.

When Bob Ward first believed in Christ on October 2, 1966, it was like "someone turned on the lights in a darkened room." The lifestyle he had formerly embraced he suddenly hated. After serving in the United States Air Force from 1969 to 1972 in Germany, he remained for another year in ministry. He then returned home and earned a Bachelor of Science in Christian Education from San Diego Christian College. A twenty-seven-year career with the United Parcel Service followed. Now retired, Bob lives in Escondido, California, with his wife Gisela. He loves to spend time with his five children and twelve grandchildren. He has twelve published drama titles to his credit. His other books include Delivered out of the Lion's Mouth, and a soon-to-be-released historical novels called Between Two Seas.
