Widen James has done it again! William Barrows AKA Judas Iscariot, continues his quest for the silver sheckles he received for betraying Jesus Christ. Along with his son Alistair, they travel to Bong Kong in an attempt to retrieve 1 of the last 8 coins for William's possible redemption. Again, the CIA endeavors to enlist William's assistance in obtaing a killing artifact. With the assistance of Shulin the engage the enemy and the murderous trail the killers leave. William prevails but no one is the same from when the started. I completely enjoyed the first book in this series "Plague of Coins". The concept of Judas Iscariot - the betrayer of Christ being alive today and in search of the original thirty pieces of silver that he was paid to betray the Son of God is very interesting to say the least. The first book was great and I looked forward to the second installment. After finishing "Reign of Coins" I'm somewhat satisfied with the book. It continued the story and ended solidly. I found that the book started a little slow and at a couple of points started to "drag" a little bit. Overall I still enjoyed the book and business did pick up at the end. I will definately continue to read the series, but I do feel like the second one was not quite as good as the first.
I loved it! It has an Indiana Jones type of feel to it. I will be reading the next one soon.
