ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Don Hoesel is a Web site designer for a Medicare carrier
in Nashville, TN. He has a BA in Mass Communication from
Taylor University and has published short fiction in Relief

Spring Hill, Tennessee, with his wife and two children. The
Serpent of Moses is his fourth novel.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Moses built and lifted up the brass serpent,
healing the afflicted Israelites of snakebites.
King Hezekiah called the serpent Nehushtan.
Long thought destroyed, it's been buried for
millennia, secreted under the region's shifting sands.
Now the Israeli government wants it back and they
will stop at nothing to get their hands on it. Yet
they're not the only ones who covet the Nehushtan.
Archaeologist Jack Hawthorne travels to Libya intent
on recovering the sacred object, but one does not
cross the Mossad and expect to walk away without a
fight. Jack and his friends must find the priceless
"snake of brass upon a pole" before those who are
also hunting it find them...and silence them forever.

MY THOUGHTS-This book is one of those that you pick up and read within a day. I figured it might be a little bit boring as it is one of those archeology type books but I flew through it! Probably because it reminded me of Indiana Jones:) If you have read any other books by Don Hoesel you will recognize his main character, Jack Hawthorne, and his fiesty female heroine, Esperanza. There is a lot of action, mystery and clues to figure out. And Don throws in plenty of spins and twists to throw the reader off. Check it out if you like a a good action book!
I received a copy of this book for review purposes. I did not receive any monetary compensation.
