Here is the description of the story:
Circa 1400 BC
Told over the course of three days, “The Boundary of Blood” is an action-adventure/suspense novel about a desperate man defending his loved ones against impossible odds.
In ancient Israel, a dark age has descended, known as the time of the Judges. Bandits and warlords control the highways, preventing safe travel, and the mighty empire of the Philistines seeks to rule the homeland of the Twelve Hebrew Tribes.
A Canaanite farmer named Shamgar learns that an army of Philistines is invading the valley where he lives peacefully with his family. They will destroy everyone and everything in the countryside if they are not stopped.
A messenger from the mysterious God of the Israelites, Yahweh, tells Shamgar that he must stand against the Philistines in a mountain pass known as the Boundary of Blood.
As a vicious enemy closes in, Shamgar must try to convince a frightened population to stand with him, while knowing he might need to stand alone.
This is a shorter novel than something like Day of War, because I wanted to make it resemble a ticking-clock thriller, which would take the average person about the length of time to read it that they would take to watch a 3-hour epic movie. God-willing, we will be able to make it into a full-length feature film one day.
