Was King David a good man or a bad man?  Vol 1 launches a serial epic novel in 4 e-books.  The man, the life, the times.  Most comprehensive account yet.  Vol 1 details young David inside Saul's palace.  Includes Rizpah, Saul, Achish, etc.  In the BG, a brain slice of the early faith frozen in utero.   As king, David created the 1st durable nation state in the Levant.  He changed the name of Canaan forever.  Helped the world's 1st ethical monotheistic religion take hold.  Never looted the treasury to build a massive tomb.  A different kind of king. Remembered not for monuments but for contrition. Previous books on David tend to ignore his achievements and timeline. This is a new in-depth literary adaptation.  Quick read, adventurous, marked by love, comic flair and irony.  Never this complete before.  Vol 1 ends with David a mighty man of valor.  Hunted as an outlaw who has outraged 2 powerful kings and become a golden legend.  Continued in next 3 volumes.  Maps.
