Book of Bravery: A Novel 2,000 Plus Years in the Making by jamestburke
14 parts Complete Mature
From the novel's back cover blurb... 'I'm not of your world, but I had a front-row seat to a little-known drama that nearly brought about your demise. Truth be told, I've actually been wanting to tell you about this saga for some time. It's a short tale, relatively speaking. It does, though, begin before the birth of Christ. There's a man named Quintus at the heart of it. First, he was a Roman Centurion, that is until he ended up in China, where he learned a thing or two from an old Taoist. Fast forward to today, and he still walks among you. You should know what he did through history wasn't done for himself; it was done for you, and it was done in the face of the greatest evil known to mankind.'
