IRVINE, CA, August 19, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Author Jeanbill announced today that his latest novel Almost a Millennium will be listed for free on Amazon from August 17th through August 21st, 2015. Genres: Historical / Fiction / Medieval / Religion / Theism
Almost a Millennium is an eclectic novel about the unlikely connection between an English monk and an American physician that lived nearly 1,000 years apart, one of today and one in the medieval period. It begins at their birth, traveling through time to their adulthood.
Using cryptography, Paul, a monk at Llanthony Abbey in Wales, writes a four-page document about his life and a harsh critique of the crusades. He places his writings in safekeeping in the hope that it will survive the crusades and eventually land in the hands of someone who can decipher his secrets. When Fred unexpectedly comes across Paul's book and ciphers Paul's cryptic message, he has no idea that four pages of millennial history will challenge him to rethink Christianity.
"Almost a Millennium by Jeanbill is a deeply compelling historical fiction novel. Although a work of fiction, the story is a depiction of England's history and the power dynamics at the time. It is a richly detailed story and many times I found myself forgetting that I was reading a work of fiction as the historical events described felt very authentic. The setting of the story and the character development were simply amazing as we dived into Paul and Fred's compelling background stories. Paul and Fred were two people so different and yet so alike. The pace of the story was set from the beginning and this held true to the very last page. Jeanbill used a unique and very captivating style in developing this story." - Reviewed by Faridah Nassozi for Readers' Favorite
