Where’s Part 2?

All the reviews I read are pretty much on point. I thought the fictionalized account of King David and his Mighty Men was well written for what it was intended to be. I did think they strayed a bit too far off course from factual accounts in some areas. The cliffhanger where it was and lack of a Part 2 made it disappointing. After 12 years, I doubt the brothers will finish Part 2, but I’ll buy if they do! Blessings.

This is the first book of the brothers Gutierrez. The writing is good but relies too heavy on scripture and loads David's mouth with many verses that do not belong to him. An entertaining read.
