Fire and Earth

By David West

The second book in the Sir Anthony Standen Adventures is set in Rome in 1607. A serial killer is torching priests in their churches. The pope hires Sir Anthony to find the killer.
This is a very entertaining and thought-provoking story. Above all, this novel illustrates how unscrupulous, hypocritical, and power-hungry religious and political leaders were back then, and it still continues to this day. The theological and philosophical questions posed in this novel reminded me of some questions that I have often pondered myself. That is why I recommend this book to open-minded people who like exploring possible explanations for the meaning of life, the nature of God, and the foundations of the universe. Fans of historical fiction will also enjoy this publication. – Online book club
