Fights rough, fights clever and, above all, gets in first!

Whether you like Ehud or not he is a chap to have at your side in a scrap.

General Joshua has taken Jericho but now, as his ragtag army advances into the rich "Promised Land," they are confronted by the military might of Canaan. And, as if all those chariots, armoured infantry and archers are not enough to contend with, they must face the god of their Enemies, the terrible Baal and his devil-women worshippers, the Daughters of Baal, who feed the flaming oven of his belly with human victims.

Here, in the third book of the series, Ehud is, as usual, in the thick of it, needing all the swagger, skill, and bluff he can muster to triumph over the hazards which face him; from the curse of being eaten by maggots, the stab of a poisoned dagger, the bite of a rabid dog, to the touch of a leper.

Most dangerous of all, and Ehud's deadliest enemy, is Eve. A Daughter of Baal, and blinded in one eye by Ehud, she is utterly dedicated to his slow and very painful death.
