About this ebook
When a scholar is offered the chance of a lifetime, the choice he makes could cost him his soul.
England 1604. Richard Clarke is desperate to prove himself. After many years out in the cold for suspect sympathies, he has all but given up hope he will ever be accepted on his own merits again. So when he is offered a place on the King's new translation of the bible he is willing to do whatever it takes.
Ben Kemp has paid dearly for his faith. Three years in prison, and seven more in exile. But when he returns to England in the hope that the new king will usher in a more tolerant reign, he discovers that the authorities have only stepped up the hunt.
Though working on the translation is everything Richard dreamed of, he still struggles to reconcile the deal he has made. And as the pressure builds to declare his allegiance once and for all, he faces an impossible choice – betrayal of one he loves or disloyalty to his church. Can Richard find a way to stay true to his faith without condemning his friend to death?
The King James Men is an engrossing historical thriller, perfect for fans of Wolf Hall. If you like intellectual historical fiction about friendship, faith, and integrity, you will love Samantha Grosser's thought-provoking novel.
