This is a fascinating book. I discovered it at the local library and used to check it out and reread it every couple years because I couldn't find a copy of it. Thank goodness for the internet. It certainly takes all the liberties that Biblical or historical fiction would imply, but still a great read that makes the story of David come alive.
A Feast for the Senses
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
David is a man, tortured and tested, blessed and reviled, diabolical and divine. You will take every step with him and, right or wrong, you will understand the reasons an outlaw becomes King, and why a King falls from grace. Martin enriches the time-worn story with historical social details. Extra-biblical elements add a swash-buckling excitement to the life of a King you thought you already knew.
