Reign of Coins (The Judas Chronicles #2)
For William Barrow, two thousand years is a very long time…too long, when it is a perpetual punishment for betraying Jesus Christ.
The man originally known as Judas Iscariot is on a mission to recover thirty silver shekels once paid to him for his ultimate treachery. Twenty-two coins have been recovered, leaving just eight to go. But when his Russian nemesis, Viktor Kaslow, also becomes immortal, the stakes are immediately raised.
Kaslow has followed William and his son, Alistair, to Hong Kong in search of a ‘blood coin’ passed down through Genghis Khan. The coin presently belongs to an esteemed Chinese collection. But along with the coin are other cursed items from the famed Mongol Emperor. William soon learns he can’t have the ‘one’ without the others.
William has waited eight hundred years for a second chance to reclaim this particular coin that inspired the Mongolian Empire’s bloody violence it was once famous for. While Kaslow closes in, seeking his own vengeance, William and Alistair race against the CIA and an unscrupulous American businessman intent on reaching the cursed ‘treasure trove’ before them.
Much is at stake for the Barrows and the world, as a deadly weapon unseen for centuries lies in wait alongside blood coin number twenty-three…
Destiny of Coins (The Judas Chronicles #3)
In this third installment of The Judas Chronicles, William Barrow (AKA Judas Iscariot) is faced with recovering the silver coin he dreads above all others. Known as the "Singing Coin" among the ancients, this shekel was originally lost long ago…on the very night of Jesus Christ’s arrest in Jerusalem. Hoping to save it for last, until after the other twenty-nine coins are recovered, Viktor Kaslow’s recent designs for the coin thwart William’s plan.
A new murder spree has begun for the ruthless Kaslow, who races against William and the immortal Roderick Cooley to obtain the coin from a reclusive Essene sect residing in the Bolivian Andes. But unlike William and Kaslow’s previous confrontations, this one involves many more outside interests, since this coin contains unusual properties. If it falls into the wrong hands, the entire world will be brought to its trembling knees….
The stakes have never been higher for William, his family, and the welfare of mankind. To stop Kaslow, William must rely on the help of Roderick, Alistair, and a host of others, both mortal and immortal, to have any hope of reclaiming blood coin number twenty-four before time runs out.
Pyramid of Coins (The Judas Chronicles #6)
Tragedy and death are the latest obstacles that stand in the way of William Barrow (aka Judas Iscariot) staying true to the burden upon his heart: His mission to reclaim the thirty blood coins that were his payment for betraying Jesus Christ.
William and his companions return to the United States, where they must find a new secure home. Alistair’s suggestion of New Orleans appears to be the right choice… until an old nemesis comes to town. Ratibor… the bloodthirsty killer who once slaughtered prostitutes for food under the name ‘Jack the Ripper’. Known to surface every eighty to one hundred-twenty years, the immortal serial killer usually stays in Europe. However, this time Ratibor seeks to avenge an old score with William, who as Emmanuel Ortiz interfered with Ratibor’s feasting on human flesh and blood in London during the horrific Whitechapel crimes of 1888.
On the heels of the last misadventure with Krontos Lazarevic, the emergence of older enemies promises to increase as William closes in on recovering his last few coins. Ratibor takes what is more precious to William than the sum total of these coins and draws him back once more to Eastern Europe, this time to the Balkans. Plagued with a heavy heart, the immortal man better known as Judas Iscariot must find a way to stop this fiend before Ratibor goes into hibernation with the assured reality of striking violently again in the distant future.
Much is at stake, and for William, the painful realization that seeking to atone for his most famous sin upon the earth’s stage can’t guarantee lasting happiness.
Victory of Coins (The Judas Chronicles #7)
In the FINAL CHAPTER of the Judas Chronicles, William Barrow (aka Judas Iscariot) is faced with one of the most important decisions of his two thousand year stay on Earth…. Should he leave well enough alone and seek a quiet retirement, having retrieved the first twenty-eight of the original thirty coins of silver paid to him for betraying Jesus Christ? Or should he press on to recover the last two shekels, and find out if it is enough to redeem his soul before Almighty God?
The temptation to delay the inevitable is quite alluring–especially since it comes with the promise of a ‘new’ life with Beatrice–one that includes Roderick, Amy, Cedric, and Jeremy as they build a meaningful existence after the tragedy in New Orleans sixteen months earlier. The potential of decades–or even centuries–of unfettered happiness is quite real, given the perpetual youth they all enjoy. But after Viktor Kaslow returns to William’s world, the permanence of such a blissful existence becomes precarious at best.
Kaslow, now the ruler of an ancient demonic realm, relies on the ultimate wickedness to force William back into the coin collecting game. Tragedy again serves as a catalyst that fuels a grueling race across four continents to track down the ‘capstone’ of the collection: The Damascus Coin. To reach this ultimate prize, William and his companions must survive a host of new deadly obstacles.
A society of immortals watch with keen interest from the sidelines, as the ruthless Russian and forlorn Disciple of Christ square off for the last time. Will the joy of salvation or eternal damnation await William, long hated as Judas? It all depends on what transpires in Victory of Coins…
