However, if you like your fiction to challenge historical events, read on....
A Christian suicide bomber.
John the Baptist's bones inscribed in ancient Greek.
A dark secret carried from the foot of the crucifixion.
Can science solve the world's greatest mystery?

Immortal vigilantes from the time of Moses have planned the unthinkable. But how can you stop what you can’t see? The battle didn’t start this year...or even this millennium. It began when Moses was on Mt. Sinai. Tired of waiting on the One True God, the twelve tribes of Israel began worshipping a golden calf through pagan revelry. Many received immediate death for their idolatry, but 40 were handed a far worse punishment - endless life on earth with no chance to see the face of God.

Ruthless and supremely powerful, the Great Library is now a presence in every major city, governing the flow of knowledge to the masses. Alchemy allows the library to deliver the content of the greatest works of history instantly - but the personal ownership of books is expressly forbidden. Jess Brightwell believes in the value of the library, but the majority of his knowledge comes from illegal books obtained by his family, who are involved in the thriving black market.

Story
What would you do if you lived in a world where your every move was scrutinized by your own personal artificial intelligence - a world where everything is regulated, from power usage to relationships - a world where everything you thought you knew turned out to be a lie? Welcome to Tisaia - the last hub of modern civilization in a world left scorched by the nuclear fires of the Biomass Wars. Surrounded by a fortress of steel walls and protected by a fierce and loyal Council of Royal Knights, Tisaia seems relatively safe to the average State worker and citizen.

Matt Hollis is the current wielder of the holy weapon, DÄMOREN. With it, he stalks and destroys demons. A secret society called the VALDUCANS has taken an interest in Matt's activities.

As knights and their sentient weapons begin dying, Matt teams up with other hunters of his kind such as LUIZA, a woman with a conquistador blade; ALLAN, an Englishman with an Egyptian khopesh; MALCOLM, a voodoo priest with a sanctified machete; and TAKAIRA, a naginata-swinging Samurai.

Entertaining but predictable story, horrible narration
Terrible narration. Sounded like a movie trailer the entire time. It cheapened the story so much that it made it almost comical at times. Poor audio levels and obvious editing. Don’t even get me started on the ridiculousness of the “accents” for the different characters…

Horrible Narrator- Save the credit!
The character voices were absolutely horrific! Most of the men either sounded like Yoda or ridiculous cartoon characters. If I hadn’t been invested in finding out how things ended, I would’ve stopped listening. It took a great deal away from what the story could have been. Read the book and save the credit!!! YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!!

Narrator was awful almost ruined this story.
Even though the narrator was terrible, I stuck with it because I really wanted to know where she was going with this thing.Enjoyed most of the characterization but again almost was ruined by the narrator.

Narrator kills the store.
What disappointed you about 30 Pieces of Silver?
The narrator and the editing. Worst editing job I have every heard. On top of his performance it was unbearable.
Would you be willing to try another one of Don Hoeksema’s performances?
No! Any book that he "performs" I will not listen.

the story is fun and exciting. I know this because I read it on paperback years ago. The narration here is so hard to follow. the performance makes it easy to tune out the story.

Disappointing
I have read the book before and loved it. Yes it is controversial but the warnings are there, so why did they leave out half the story?

Enjoying the story, not caring for the naration...
What would have made 30 Pieces of Silver better?
A different narrator.
There is no consistent volume or tempo to the reading, words are mispronounced, and it sounds like there is a speech impediment. There is no recognition of separate paragraphs. It's all verrry distracting from the story, which itself is pretty good.
What did you like best about this story?
The theological wonderings.
Would you be willing to try another one of Don Hoeksema’s performances?
Not really.
