What readers are saying: "I purchased this book primarily due to the reputation of the author, J.R. Rain. It was an awesome read! It included adventure, danger, love, and religion. I could not put it down until the very exciting ending!" -Amazon review "I'm a 72-year-old J.R. Rain fan. It started with The Body Departed, which I found to be different but most interesting. I moved on to The Lost Ark, which I loved. Then Judas Silver. I loved this book. It was a most interesting take on what happened to the 30 pieces of silver given as the price to betray Christ. It held my interest through all of the travels in search of the pieces of silver. And the end left you wondering if there will be a follow-up. For someone who wants to read entertaining books, J.R. Rain is your man. I have now read all nine of the Vampire for Hire books plus the short story collection, and all of the books about his male detectives. They are all good, entertaining reads." -Amazon review "It's a little Indiana Jones and a whole lot of fun. I was completely able to visualize the scenes as they were described and experienced 'edge-of-my-seat' moments along the way. With expert direction and special effects, I could see this being an incredible blockbuster movie." -Amazon review "A wild ride! This book was originally written as a screenplay and it really feels like you are reading a movie! I kept visualizing every 'scene' as if I were watching it on the big screen. I kept thinking 'they could really do some crazy special effects!' I was holding my breath most of the time! It was a great adventurous ride!" -Amazon review "Great fun! I couldn't put this down. It's a fun, quick read. I could see an Indiana Jones-type guy as the hero. Good, fast-running plot and an interesting twist on the concept. The ultimate good versus evil! This would make a great action/adventure flick." -Amazon review "Judas Silver is another fine example of J.R. Rain's storytelling magic. J.R. puts so much thought and research into his stories that the characters and locations are larger than life. The main character has so many endearing qualities and faults that I can't help but love him. I really enjoy all of J.R. Rain's works." -Amazon review This item is printed on demand.
