As I began reading "The 13th Tribe" by Robert Liparulo it was slow going. There was a lot of bits and pieces thrown at you in the first several chapters that I started to think about giving up but- and this is a big but- I am glad I stayed with the book because I reached a point where I couldn't put it down. I was not expecting the twist at the end.Jaggar Baird, head of security for a dig at Mt.Sinia, discovers his job is far from mundane when a stranger appears and is quickly smuggled into the monastery where Jaggar and his family are living. As Jag tries to find out who the stranger is and why he came to the compound the action heats up.
What Jag does not know at this point is the existence of a group of individuals who call themselves the 13th Tribe. A group that originated from the the twelve tribes of Israel at the time of Mose's trip up Mt. Sinai. The tribes, tired of waiting on Moses, made a golden calf and began worshipping it. The consequence for many was death for their idolatry except for forty- who received endless life on earth, immortals. Now the 13th tribe plans to execute an attack. It's up to Jag to stop them. The twists and turns continue until the very last page!
