The day after the conversation between Joab and John, a man brought the news to Jotapata that Placidus was marching against it. Josephus at once ordered the fighting men to assemble and, marching out, placed them in ambuscade, in the mountains, on the road by which the Romans would approach.

As soon as the latter had fairly entered the pass, the Jews sprang to their feet, and hurled their javelins and shot their arrows among them. The Romans, in vain, endeavored to reach their assailants; and numbers were wounded, as they tried to climb the heights, but few were killed--for they were so completely covered, by their armor and shields, that the Jewish missiles, thrown from a distance, seldom inflicted mortal wounds.

I have never been disappointed in reading GA Henty’s historical fiction novels. The events are exciting, the connections to real history are interesting and informative, and the protagonist always exemplifies one who strives for integrity in Christlikeness.

While the fictional main character is almost too good (and smart, inventive, etc) to be true (as is common in Henty novels), he's very likeable and fun to accompany as you learn more about Palestine in the mid-first century. I enjoyed this book and learned from it.

My first Henty book and I really really liked it. Read it with B and some of his friends and I felt like I learned so much. Thought it would be boring and it was not. There were some chapters that I was like come on now. But mostly really good.
