The Master’s Quilt Book Description:
The life of Deucalion Quinctus, Commander of the Garrison under Pontius Pilate, is changed forever by the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, by his sudden love for the beautiful outcast, Esther, and by a bundle of parchments given to him by a mysterious stranger.
Events surrounding the Christos trigger an avalanche which threatens empires–the relentless guilt of Pilate, the frightening ambition of Herod, the uncertain future of Caiaphas, the violent madness of Saul of Tarsus, and the guiding hand of the Watcher, Uriel. Yet, over it all the tenacious love of God weaves a remarkable tale of spiritual power and inspiration.
This compelling historical novel brilliantly pictures dramatic spiritual conflicts in first century Israel; webs of religious and political intrigue that have world powers wavering on cliff’s edge.
First book in the Giants in the Earth trilogy, exciting spiritual thrillers spanning two thousand years.

My Thoughts:
Michael Webb has taken on the challenge of tackling the events that took place during and after the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ in the first book of the Giants in the Earth trilogy. In this fictional account, readers get a glimpse into what it may have been like for the key players in the death of Christ. The main character in this book, Deucalion Quinctus, is struggling with his lot in life since the events surrounding the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. His involvement with Christ’s death and resurrection have caused him to go against the grain and seek the truth about the Christ.
For me, the story didn’t immediately grab my attention, but I’m glad that I kept going as the story ended up drawing me in. The more I read, the more that I wanted to find out how everything ended up fitting together. The ending was unexpected, but quite good. Webb did a great job helping me travel back in time to when Christ walked the earth. It made me think about what it might have been like for all those involved in the death of Christ. While the story was fictional, it felt like it could have really taken place.
