Seeking the meaning to his life in the study of philosophy, the young Roman. Marcus Manilianus, discovers in an Alexandrian library a vast number of predictions, all tending to confirm his own feeling that the world is about to enter upon a new era. Two chance encounters with Jews who proclaim the coming of a world leader whom they call the Messiah or King, cause Marcus to resolve to make a visit to the Holy City of the Jews. He arrives outside Jerusalem in time to see crowds-some curious, some shocked-staring up at three crosses on a nearby mound. Above the center cross, an inscription had been fixed: JESUS OF NAZARETH, KING OF THE JEWS.

Odbacen
Roman Odbacen bavi se temama ljubavi, gubitka i unutrasnjih borbi, istrazujuci razliku izmedju pojmova 'ostavljen' i 'odbacen'. Dok prvi moze da se dogodi kao posledica neizbeznih zivotnih okolnosti, drugi predstavlja bolnu, svesnu odluku druge osobe da vas potpuno iskljuci iz svog zivota, sto sa sobom neminovno povlaci duboku povredjenost. Kroz likove i njihove psiholoske terete i fobije, autor prikazuje izazove sa kojima se suocavaju, a koji su moguce prisutni i u stvarnom zivotu svakog od nas. Ljubav, u svim svojim oblicima, ne samo ona koja je prisutna u romanticnim odnosima, prikazana je kao lek i snaga, kao izvor nade i spasenja, sposobna da promeni svet nabolje. Pricom koja se desava u carobnom Istanbulu i njegovoj okolini, autor nas vodi na putovanja kroz predele jedne zemlje, ali i na ona emotivna, kroz unutrasnje svetove likova, nudeci nam dubok uvid u njihove strahove, zelje i borbe. Pomocu ovih pesimistickih trenutaka, roman uvek iznova podseca na to da je ljubav ta koja

My mercenary training told me to walk on by.But I didn't. I couldn't. I needed to know how she ended up in a crappy dive bar in the middle of nowhere. Alone. And deep into several shots of tequila with mascara stains under her eyes. When I learned the reason, all I wanted to do was shield her from the TV hounds who exploited her, and the people preying on her innocence. Protecting her could bring a world of hurt to my private little mountaintop and the unwaveringly loyal guys I shared it with. But I had to give it a shot. We had to give it a shot. If there's one thing my special ops training taught me... that sometimes we only get one chance. And that it takes a team to exact the kind of revenge certain people deserve. This naughty,
