Exodus (Shadow of the Mountain #1)

Disclaimer, disclaimer, disclaimer. I won this book in a firstreads giveaway. Wow, the Exodus as experienced by an Egyptian. What a great premise. I don't know if any other author has done this. This was a first for me. One might think that this would make the story less than complimentary to Judaism. Quite the contrary, it reinforces the Judeo-Christian belief. I was so impressed by the passion, compassion and sympathy with which the story was told. To experience the story as Egyptian commoners endured the Ten Plagues without really knowing why was very powerful. The people were paying for their Pharaoh's arrogance. Obviously this is a work of fiction. Caleb, the main character is a Biblical figure but not in the detail presented here. Cliff Graham has crafted a plausible backstory rich in detail. A true story of redemption. I will be watching for more books in this series. This book is incredible! Mike
