The Indiana Jones "spirit" lives again in Daniel Levin's new book, The Last Ember. The story concerns a reluctant hero, attorney Jonathan Marcus, who is sent by his firm on a sudden and mysterious mission to Rome, the scene of his academic disgrace seven years earlier. Upon arriving, Jonathan can’t deny his passion and skill or ignore his feelings for a long lost girlfriend after he lands back in his previous world of archeological research. A modern web of terror, destruction and deception as complex as the ancient Roman-Jewish world it parallels emerges as Jonathan slips, once again, into the fray.
The Last Ember is a must read for anyone who desires a greater understanding of the role of archeology to Christians and Jews alike, and the tenuous position of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
Levin's extensive research and education show to advantage as he interweaves current events with history seamlessly. His plot concept was born out of real life Israeli politics. His visual descriptions of the Roman catacombs and the underground tunnels of the Temple Mount bring alive the sights, sounds and smells of archeology.
The Last Ember reveals unique glimpses into the ancient world and ancient languages. It teaches history, puts biblical events into an interesting context, and describes an interesting theory about the controversial Jewish historian known as Josephus. And, finally, this thriller resolves in a satisfying ending of hope and faith.
