William Barrow carries a dark secret.
An archivist for the Smithsonian Institute and a part-time operative for the CIA, no one would ever suspect the handsome 'thirty-ish' William is the most reviled human being ever to walk the earth.
But long ago, William Barrow had another name…one that is synonymous with shame and betrayal: Judas Iscariot.
Forced to walk the earth as a cursed immortal, William/Judas is on a quest to reclaim the thirty silver shekels paid to him in exchange for Jesus Christ.
Twenty-one coins have now been recovered—thanks in large part to the help from his latest son, the esteemed Georgetown University history professor, Alistair Barrow.
Ever hopeful the complete coin collection will buy him a full pardon from God and end his banishment from heaven, William plans to visit a remote village deep within Iran’s Alborz Mountains to retrieve 'silver coin number twenty-two'.
But the CIA has a different objective for this trip, one that pits both father and son against an unscrupulous Russian billionaire searching for something else that’s just as precious within the ancient mountains of Iran.
Something that threatens peace in the modern world if William and Alistair fail to reach it first.What Readers are saying:
????? “This book was a fantastic mix of religious belief and fantastical adventure. Though tongue-in-cheek from the beginning, Aiden James pulls together a very fast-paced read. I thoroughly enjoyed this rendition of the Judas legend, and cannot wait to read the next book.” —Amazon review
????? “What an amazing story! Powerful story and everything you could hope for on the trail of redemption for Judas himself.” —Amazon review
????? “Immortal Plague is the best of the genre I’ve read. An excellent adventure story, filled with villains, complications, and marvels. I was reminded of the Indiana Jones series and the Uncharted video games with Nathan Drake. Highly recommended.” —Amazon review
????? “William Barrow is a part time CIA agent and an archivist for the Smithsoniain Institute. But who is he really? He is a man who is doomed to walk the earth until he finds 30 pieces of silver. Yes, William is none other then Judas Iscariot the betrayer of Jesus. Will he be able to find coin number 22 (he has already found 21 so far)? There are a variety of twists, turns, surprises and subplots in the story to keep the story moving and you turning pages. You will be pulled into the story right from the start as Aiden James has a way of doing just that. You will not be disappointed.” —Amazon review
????? “Great book, exciting adventure! I started reading this story with no intention of liking Judas, the man that is believed to have betrayed Jesus, but I wanted insight into what could have caused him to do such a dreadful thing. Soon, I found myself rooting for him to find the missing ‘blood coins’ to redeem his life and pay his penance for his sins. He was remorseful, regretful, and determined to prove his devotion to make up for his weakness by collecting the coins that he was paid to betray Jesus. As an immortal, it’s his destiny to search the world until every single cursed coin is accounted for, so that he can present the coins as proof of his remorse and faith and hope for forgiveness. It actually turned out to be a great story, full of great characters, humor, love, friendship, and it was well worth the time it took to read it. I look forward to the other books in this series!” —Amazon review
