About the Author: STEVEN L. SHREWSBURY lives, works, and writes in rural Illinois
He loves books, British TV, guns,
movies, politics, sports and hanging out with his sons. He’s frequently
outdoors, looking for brightness wherever it may hide.
Book Synopsis Philistine: The Philistines, a mysterious warrior people known now for
mainly one man: Goliath. The giant.
Goliath. A name grander than even the
man himself. You've heard of his infamous end at the hands of a shepherd as
written in a famous book, but what of the life of the man himself? What book
tells his tale?
A warrior among warriors, a son of a
god, a living legend. Goliath, the warrior champion of the Philistines. On the
battlefield, he runs like a horse, wields killing instruments no normal man may
heft, and revels in the fear his presence evokes. Off the field, his will is
immutable, his trust invaluable, and his appetites unbearable. Goliath. This
man knows no challenge.
But such a reputation will not
discourage all men. Scheming rulers and generals, prophetic priests and
powerful cults, dauntless warriors looking to make their own legend. Monsters.
Gods. For one seemingly unkillable, at the very least, these things can ruin an
otherwise pleasant day.
Along with his shield bearer,
Abimelech, and soldiers more in awe than they are useful, Goliath will set out
on missions for kings, face foul magic users, and walk in the shadows of
mysterious halls. History tells us Goliath died at the hands of an Israelite.
Goliath may have something to say
about that.
Philistine is the first Tale of
Goliath, set in the same world as Steven Shrewsbury's novels such as Overkill
and Thrall, and his Blood and Steel: Legends of La Gaul short stories.
